PHP 5.6.10 for Wheezy

June 12, 2015 · Guillaume Plessis

On June 11th 2015, the PHP group released PHP 5.6.10.

Several bugs have been fixed as well as several security issues into some bundled libraries (CVE-2015-3414, CVE-2015-3415, CVE-2015-3416, CVE-2015-2325 and CVE-2015-2326). All PHP 5.6 users are encouraged to upgrade to this version.

PHP 5.6.10 packages are now available for Debian 7 “Wheezy”, on both amd64 and i386 architectures, in ZTS and non-ZTS (default) flavors, along with packages of Xdebug (yeah!), XHprof (yeah! x2) and other PECL extensions.

Note : php5-memcached still lacks JSON support.

Merci pour cette mise à jour ! Mais pourquoi depuis celle-ci je me tape un “502 Bad Gateway” quand j’accède à mon site ?!
- Guillaume Plessis June 12, 2015
  @Qwaser : peut-être peux-tu nous en dire davantage sur ta configuration (/2012/08/24/how-to-post-useful-bug-reports/) et aller fouiller dans tes logs (/var/log/php5-fpm.log par défaut en ce qui concerne PHP-FPM) pour voir ce qui pose problème.
  - Qwaser June 13, 2015
    J’ai essayer de suivre les question demandés dans ton premier lien ainsi que le log que tu m’as demandé de voir. J’ai mit tout ça au propre ici : http://lc.cx/ZTHt
    - Guillaume Plessis June 13, 2015
      @Qwaser : la 502 signifie que Nginx n’arrive pas à communiquer avec PHP-FPM. Ce dernier est-il bien lancé? Le socket qui fait le lien entre les deux existe-t-il?
      Pour information, tu utilises des paquets wheezy-php56 sur une Jessie. Situation pas vraiment conseillée.
    - Guillaume Plessis June 13, 2015
      @Qwaser : dans la liste des paquets installés, je ne vois pas php5-fpm. Assure toi qu’il l’est bien.
      - Qwaser June 13, 2015
        Alors là merci… pour vérifié que php5-fpm était bien installé, je lance un apt-get install php5-fpm et là il me demande si je veux bien l’installer xD Donc le problème était qu’il ne l’était pas. Ce qui surprends car il l’était pourtant ^^ Enfin merci de m’avoir aiguillé sur la bonne voie :)
        PS : Existe-t-il des paquets jessie-php56 ? Vu que ceux de wheezy ne sont pas conseillés ?
- Guillaume Plessis June 13, 2015
  @Qwaser : non, pas de paquet jessie-php56 pour la simple et bonne raison que PHP 5.6.9 (+ backports de sécurité) est déjà présent dans Jessie. Je ne souhaite pas dupliquer ce travail.
  - Qwaser June 14, 2015
    D’accord, merci pour cette indication que j’ignorais :) Donc tu penses que les premiers paquet jessie-php arriverons pour quelle version de PHP ? La 5.7 ?
    - Guillaume Plessis June 14, 2015
      @Qwaser : il n’y aura pas de PHP 5.7, ça sera PHP 7, qui s’avère prometteur. Mais qui pose quelques soucis supplémentaires en terme de packaging (changement de nom). J’attend de voir ce que font les mainteneurs Debian.
Alexander June 13, 2015
Thank you for xdebug and xhprof. Very useful. Will not swtich to 5.6 completely.
However am highly hope, that you can start with PHP 7. Alphas is cool as well, because it’s very hard to compile self. At least to test code.
- Alexander June 13, 2015
  will now**
Michael Neubert June 13, 2015
XCache is still missing. Will it come in future or not?

I’ve gotten a few errors on a couple boxes pertaining to 7.1 (instead of 7.2):
E: Failed to fetch http://packages.dotdeb.org/dists/wheezy-php56-zts/php5/binary-amd64/php5-sqlite_5.6.10-1~dotdeb+zts+7.1_amd64.deb 404 Not Found E: Failed to fetch http://packages.dotdeb.org/dists/wheezy-php56-zts/php5/binary-amd64/php5-mcrypt_5.6.10-1~dotdeb+zts+7.1_amd64.deb 404 Not Found E: Failed to fetch http://packages.dotdeb.org/dists/wheezy-php56-zts/php5/binary-amd64/php5-gd_5.6.10-1~dotdeb+zts+7.1_amd64.deb 404 Not Found E: Failed to fetch http://packages.dotdeb.org/dists/wheezy-php56-zts/php5/binary-amd64/php5-common_5.6.10-1~dotdeb+zts+7.1_amd64.deb 404 Not Found
I appears that the ZTS repo was updated to 7.2 but the indexes still point to 7.1.
- Guillaume Plessis June 15, 2015
  @Nick : fixed. Sorry for this issue.
Guillaume Plessis June 15, 2015
FYI, new PHP 5.6 packages have been uploaded to fix the PCRE issue that some Apache users encountered https://github.com/gplessis/dotdeb-php5/issues/85
- Brian Tafoya June 15, 2015
  When will the fixed packages appear in the apt repo?

This breaks the wheezy Apache:

  I too have experienced the broken server as well.
  apache2: Syntax error on line 244 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: Syntax error on line 1 of /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/php5.load: Cannot load /usr/lib/apache2/modules/libphp5.so into server: /usr/lib/apache2/modules/libphp5.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Action ‘configtest’ failed.

    @Alex : which version / flavor of Apache are you using?
- Guillaume Plessis June 15, 2015
  @Alex : which version / flavor of Apache are you using?
Alex June 15, 2015
@Guillaume it’s the normal Apache 2.4.10 of Debian Wheezy:
Server version: Apache/2.4.10 (Debian) Server built: Mar 15 2015 09:51:43
- Guillaume Plessis June 15, 2015
  @Alex : unfortunately, there is no official Apache 2.4 for Wheezy (https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=apache2) and the latest changes in Dotdeb’s PHP 5.6 packages introduced a conflict in the PCRE lib of your setup.
  There are two options for you :
  - downgrade to Wheezy’s Apache 2.2
  - keep Apache 2.4 from Jessie (I suppose) and stick to PHP 5.6 from Jessie as well.
  Sorry for this.
Alistair June 16, 2015
Hi I just tried to use php 5.6.10 and when I run any php command I get this at the top
“Xdebug requires Zend Engine API version 220121212. The Zend Engine API version 220131226 which is installed, is newer.”
I even tried to remove every php56 package and reinstall everything but got the same issue.
- Alistair June 16, 2015
  Sorry ignore me. I cleaned up lots of other things and completely reinstalled and it started working. Think I was messing around with manually compiling xdebug some time ago and think that lead to my issue.
Alex June 19, 2015
@Guillaume I’m sorry, I chose the wrong distribution. Of course, it’s Apache 2.4 for Debian Jessie!
- Guillaume Plessis June 19, 2015
  @Alex : so please stick to PHP 5.6 from Jessie for now
