Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.I am trying to figure out what to do.
I have to pin my php version to php5.6+ on my server.
All is good in the world until I try to install aegir3. It wants me to download php5.
Here is what it looks like but I do have the 5.6 versions of all the requested modules enabled already:
sudo apt-get install aegir3
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following extra packages will be installed:
aegir3-hostmaster aegir3-provision libapache2-mod-php5 mysql-client php5
php5-cli php5-common php5-gd php5-json php5-mysql php5-readline
Suggested packages:
php5-user-cache
The following NEW packages will be installed:
aegir3 aegir3-hostmaster aegir3-provision libapache2-mod-php5 mysql-client
php5 php5-cli php5-common php5-gd php5-json php5-mysql php5-readline
0 upgraded, 12 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 0 B/5,188 kB of archives.
After this operation, 22.0 MB of additional disk space will be used.1) can I have multiple php versions actually working under apache2? I have done this:
sudo a2dismod php5
Module php5 already disabled
~$ sudo a2enmod php5.6
Considering dependency mpm_prefork for php5.6:
Considering conflict mpm_event for mpm_prefork:
Considering conflict mpm_worker for mpm_prefork:
Module mpm_prefork already enabled
Considering conflict php5 for php5.6:
Module php5.6 already enabled

bgm CreditAttribution: bgm at Coop SymbioTIC commentedIs this Ubuntu 16.04 ? Ondrej's PPA for packages of older PHP versions ?
Aegir currently supports the version of PHP officially supported by Ubuntu 16.04, which is PHP 7.
I suspect the Debian control file will need the attached patch. However, I have no way to test this.
Can you test using the following instructions?

helmo CreditAttribution: helmo as a volunteer and at Initfour websolutions for Aegir Cooperative commentedI'm hesitant to add this ... now it's 5.6 but what's next .... special packages for 5.7, 7.1, 7.2 8.*
That list would become hard to maintain.
Isn't there a meta package we can depend on that the ppa also offers?
Alternatively there are ways to create a dummy package for the dependencies yourself to make this work.

SocialNicheGuru CreditAttribution: SocialNicheGuru commentedok. I figured it out.
Comment #5
helmo CreditAttribution: helmo as a volunteer and at Initfour websolutions for Aegir Cooperative commentedI don't see how applying that patch helps in #4. After applying it you'd need to build new Debian packages for it to have any effect.
You've effectively done a manual upgrade ... :) I think Debian will still complain.
Comment #6
SocialNicheGuru CreditAttribution: SocialNicheGuru commentedand the patch is not right.it still has php5-mysql instead of php5.6-mysql
Edit: delete last comment
Comment #7
NWOM CreditAttribution: NWOM commentedPHP 7.1 is also now officially released, which currently does not work with Aegir3. #3 sounds like a good option:

helmo CreditAttribution: helmo as a volunteer and at Initfour websolutions for Aegir Cooperative commentedI haven't been able to find a suitable meta package.
This issue seems to be related ... https://github.com/gplessis/dotdeb-php/issues/102
Maybe you their ask his advise on how to handle this.
Comment #9
NWOM CreditAttribution: NWOM commentedJust as a workaround, here is a new patch for both provision and hostmaster for php7.2, php5.x-mysqlnd, and php7.x-mysqlnd support.
Comment #10
NWOM CreditAttribution: NWOM commentedComment #11
NWOM CreditAttribution: NWOM commentedHere is a new patch that includes the php socket changes for both php7.1 and php7.2. It also appears I had forgotten to add php5.6 from the previous patch into my patch.
Comment #13
colanThanks for working on this, but there are some problems with #11:
My commit handles these issues. You still deserve credit though; don't worry. ;)
What's missing is the php5.6 addition from above. Do we still need that? If so, please provide a patch.
Comment #14
NWOM CreditAttribution: NWOM commentedThanks for updating the patch. Yeah, I wasn't a fan of hard coding it either, but since I don't know PHP, it was the best I could do by using other pieces of code as a reference :P
My patch also updated the package to contain php*-mysqlnd. Has this been updated as well?
Comment #15
colanGood catch! I missed that entirely as I didn't even know about it.
Yes, would be good to add support for that (and php5.6 if we still need it) as well.
Comment #16
NWOM CreditAttribution: NWOM commentedYeah, php*-mysqlnd works great with Asynchronous Prefetch Database Query Cache. Should a new patch be created in this issue, or are you guys committing it in a different way?
Comment #17
colanI'm fine with doing it here as it should just be a one or two line change.

helmo CreditAttribution: helmo as a volunteer and at Initfour websolutions for Aegir Cooperative commentedComment #19
helmo CreditAttribution: helmo as a volunteer and at Initfour websolutions for Aegir Cooperative commentedAfter discussing in IRC this seems fixed with the exception of phpx.x-mysqlnd
It would be better to create a new issue to focus on that... however I don't see php7 related mysqlnd packages in Debian. Is this still relevant?
Comment #20
NWOM CreditAttribution: NWOM commented@helmo I've been working on other projects as of late, so that is fine. I'll try and whip up a new patch in a new issue soon, once I go back to that original project.
@colan Thanks for committing the rest. :)
