Will there soon be a PHP 5.6 package available for Debian 7 “Wheezy”? That would be nice. :-)

Hello,

with recent versions of PHP5-FPM I often have version when reloading/restarting.. for example:

service php5-fpm start

php5-fpm start/running, process 3309

– PASSED

service php5-fpm reload

– NO MESSAGE

reload: Unknown instance:

– throws some error

killall -9 php5-fpm now I can only kill it, and then: #service php5-fpm start

Any ideas?

Thank yoU!

Hi,

Just found out I’m getting some segmentation faults both with opcache and xcache. Without cache I don’t have any problems,

Thanks
