PHP 5.6 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS #13
Comments
Same for me, looks like only |
@joshtronic @jails: Backporting PHP 5.5 and PHP 5.6 to 12.04 LTS also needs whole apache2.4 backport. Are you sure you can't upgrade to Ubuntu 14.04 LTS? |
That actually brings up something interesting. I actually don't use apache (nginx + php-fpm) so it wouldn't bother me to not have apache2.4. I've wondered for a while, how come apache has been a dependency of this project? To answer why I can't upgrade, it's not that I can't, I've simply been able to get the latest software that I needed by way of PPA ;) |
PHP 5.5 works fine with 12.04 LTS but the PHP 5.6 version seems to not be "detected" by apt. So yeah it's probably a dependency issue. |
It's not a "dependency" issue, I simply do not build php5-5.6 for precise. All php5 SAPIs are built in one go and thus the build needs all rev-deps installed. Apache 2.4 package has changes the supporting infrastructure for apache modules so it would be a great PITA ro backport the packages back to apache 2.2. |
Oh ok thanks for the clarification ! |
Understood, closing. |
I'll keep it open for now, if more people will request php5.6 for Ubuntu Precise, I will make the effort. |
Just throwing my 2-cents in here. We have a fair amount of production servers running 12.04, and upgrading them, while possible, will require a ton of work. I understand it is a lot of work for you to backport the packages. However, 12.04 is an LTS with support until 2017. I know it would be a HUGE PITA to keep backporting things, but I think supporting 5.6, then dropping it for the next major release (7.0.0) would be ideal. |
We also maintain a lot of servers with 12.04, and would love to have php 5.6. |
I'm also running a few servers with 12.04 and I'd love to have 5.6. |
Just donated 100€ to the project and posted about it on my blog. Hoping my community can influence moving forward with this :) 👍 |
👍 definitely will be good to have. I run many servers on 12.04 LTS at work and off. Even for development or testing sounds something that should be resolved, documented. |
Ok, thank you all for your comments and your support. I will look into backporting php5.6 for 12.04 LTS. |

Hey guys, just an update - the php5-5.6 repository should have a version for precise in couple of minutes (when buildds finish their work). php5 on i386 is building right now and amd64 should follow shortly after libedit is built. Once we are there we can bootstrap dh-php5 and thus php-json. That should complete the basic support. Feel free to ask to add more apache2 and php5 modules, or else I will add them as I have a time... |
@oerdnj Just installed it myself, worked like a charm. Thank you again for all of your hard work on this project! |
@joshtronic and rest -- Feel free to request additional PHP and/or Apache 2 modules in separate issues as you need them. |
I'm having challenges installing php5-cli from the PPAs for PHP 5.4, 5.5 and 5.6 on Ubuntu 12.04. Ideally, I'd like to install PHP 5.6. Has support for Ubuntu 12.04 been dropped since #13 (comment)? Thanks! |
@smaboshe Please expand "I'm having challenges" - and better start a new issue for that... |
@oerdnj Will do! |
@oerdnj While trying to document my "challenges" to submit a new issue, I re-installed PHP 5.6. I did not have any problems this time around. I suspect my APT package list was out of sync and out of date. Thank you. |
Just wanted to check in, I'm having great success with 5.6 on 14.04 LTS but when I attempt the same upgrade route on a 12.04 LTS system (clean install) I can't seem to get 5.6 installed, it sticks with 5.3. I am able to get 5.5 installed on 12.04 LTS though.
I browsed the blog but didn't see anything about support being dropped on 12.04 LTS so if I missed it, please pardon this ticket.
Thanks, love the project!
