bug in php 5.2.11 (OpenSuse 10.3)

[Ron Piterman]

Hi,

I am (still) using an openSuse 10.3 and upgraded my plesk to 10.

With the upgrade, php 5.2.11 was installed which has a known bug, which was fixed more than a year ago:

http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=49913

Now openSuse 10.3 is quite old and I can not find anywhere a newer version of php -

Any Ideas?

Cheers, Ron

What about migration to new installed server with correct version of PHP?

Amazing answer -

The real question here is, if parallels offers plesk 10 for suse 10.3, what about delivering a usable version of php?

The server hosts some other things than plesk and apache - and I don't see why I must make all the trouble with an upgrade just because you deliver faulty rpms.

Its a package you distribute directly from your repository, your software installed it on the system, so why not take care of it?

As you should know Plesk doesn't provide PHP for hosting. There is PHP from OS vendor but not from Parallels and if you have PHP with known bug - contact OS vendor regarding this question.

Where did my system get php-5.2.11 from?

The answer is:

http://autoinstall.plesk.com/PSA_10.0.1/update-rpm-SuSE-10.3-i386/


now how did it get there? did I install it?
no ! I upgraded plesk. And plesk installed an rpm which is distributed by parallels from the above URL. so what exactly am I suppose to tell my OS vendor?

As I wrote before, you distribute it, your software installs it on my system, so you should also take care of it.

# wget http://autoinstall.plesk.com/PSA_10.0.1/update-rpm-SuSE-10.3-i386/php5-5.2.11-0.1.i586.rpm
# rpm -qpi php5-5.2.11-0.1.i586.rpm | grep Vendor
Version : 5.2.11 Vendor: SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Nuernberg, Germany

# rpm -qpi php5-5.2.11-0.1.i586.rpm | grep Packager
Packager : http://bugs.opensuse.org

Any questions?

This package is not distributed by anyone other than parallels/plesk. Its only downloadable from your repository. The content says its from suse linux, but suse linux does not distribute it, you do, and your software installes it on my system.

Take reponsibility for what you do, instead of shoving it to others...

Once again. Plesk has two PHP - one for Plesk admin's interface and one for client's sites hosting. Admin's PHP is really patched by Parallels, is shipped in Plesk distribution kit and you shouldn't touch it if you don't want to break Plesk completely. PHP for hosting is not Parallels package and there are no any patches/changes from Parallels side. It is PHP from OS vendor's repository and you can change/upgrade it as you want on own risk.
Sometimes we place vendor's packages in Parallels repository only for solving possible installation/upgrade dependences problems but it doesn't mean that we have changed these OS vendor's packages.

I would be happy to belive: show me the opensuse source for php-5.2.11 for opensuse 10.3 - you say it does not come from plesk - show me where it comes from, and it will prove you right on this one... all I need is a download url from suse...

you can believe or not. php is NOT coming with plesk...
http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=suse

So, go to the url you mentioned, scroll down to php, and look at the version in the 10.3 column.

Its 5.2.4

Now I have on my suse 10.3 PHP version 5.2.11.

How did it get there? Or, more important, where did it come from?

Plesk installed it when upgrading to 10, and it came from here:
http://autoinstall.plesk.com/PSA_10.0.1/update-rpm-SuSE-10.3-i386/

Now what exactly should I tell the open suse guys? That Plesk installed a not supported version from the parallels/plesk repository and I need a bug fix?

If its not distributed by plesk, what is it doing in the above url?

Greetings, Ron

mh ok. there is no such repo for deb bases systems. what about deinstalling php (5.2.11) remove the parallels repo from your update sources and reinstall the php version distributed with your Suse Version?

Ok, thanks for offering a solution!

Before I do it: is plesk 10 also going to work with php 5.2.4 ?

Greetings, Ron

 

[lhwparis]

plesk10 is compatible with 5.2.4 because it supports ubuntu 8.04 which comes with 5.2.4 too.
