The PHP Development Team would like to announce the immediate release of PHP 5.1.1.
This is a regression correction release aimed at addressing several issues introduced by PHP 5.1.0, the core changes as follows:

Native date class is withdrawn to prevent namespace conflict with PEAR's date package.
Fixed fatal parse error when the last line of the script is a PHP comment.
eval() hangs when the code being evaluated ends with a comment.
Usage of {$var} in PHP 5.1.0 resulted in the output of {$var} instead of the $var variable's value enclosed in {}.
Fixed inconsistency in the format of PHP_AUTH_DIGEST between Apache 1 and 2 sapis.
Improved safe_mode/open_basedir checks inside the cURL extension.
The complete details about all of the changes can be found in the PHP 5 ChangeLog.

The following packages are currently available for RHEL3, additional ones for RHEL4/CentOS 4 will follow shortly.

These can be downloaded from http://mirror.cheetaweb.com/redhat/3ES/i386/RPMS.php51

MD5 checksums, for those wanting to verify:

Sorry for the stupid question; but is mcrypt in here anywhere. I didn;t see it as a spearate package; but maybe it's part of the main package?

Thanks GPAN,

Clark

mcrypt isn't part of this package as published - I can provide it though if you want?

Yeah, that would be great my friend. I use mcrypt in a lot of e-commerce stuff. I suppose I could go sort it out myself; but you're stuff is always so reliable, if you're willing, I'd rather stick with that for the sake of consistency. I'm still (5 years later) fuzzy on the Ensim internals and I'm not sure I'd get it the way it needs to be across the board.

Thanks,

Clark

after upgrading on Ensim Pro 4.0.3-22.rhel.3ES, from PHP 5.0.3 TO php 5.1.1 using cheetaweb rpms, i have "Internal Server Error" on al virtual site with "HIGH SECURITY ENABLED" , "[Thu Dec 01 13:35:47 2005] [error] [client ....] Premature end of script headers: php-script" reading /var/log/httpd/error_log for each site with "Internal Server Error". All php needed libraries are loaded correctly , "php -v" return the correct version without errors.

Thanks for support

Did you resave sites thru maintenance mode, and have you cchecked chroot php?

i have launched after rpms update:

set_pre_maintenance
set_maintenance
set_post_maintenance
service webppliance restart

with no errors.

then i resaved all sites, but "Premature end of script headers: php-script" error again.

How i can manually chroot php ?

Thanks

Do this

cat /usr/bin/php-cgi > /home/virtual/FILESYSTEMTEMPLATE/apache/usr/bin/php

Let me know if this fixes your issue.

no.

Very thanks for your reply

For your domain name try


cat /usr/bin/php-cgi > /home/virtual/domain.com/fst/usr/bin/php

If not, drop me a PM and I'll look

very nice !!! now work great...

Why ensim do not propagate the changes in :

/home/virtual/FILESYSTEMTEMPLATE/ ???

Very thanks, dude

gpan, did you ever get this up for REH4?

Thanks!

Do these RPMs work on non-ensim RHEL3 systems?

Really strange error message (when typing php -v as a site admin):



I upgraded from PHP 5.0.3:

Check if you have anything like ioncube, zend, eaccelerator installed and not updated?

Hello

I installed the rpms and get the following error
when I try to start httpd

Starting httpd: Syntax error on line 6 of /etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf:

Can anybody help me ?

Thanx T-Nets

Upgrade libxml to 2.6 - rpms on dag.wieers.com/packages/

Gpan, and others,

I am wishing to upgrade to PHP5.1 and I HAVE THESE currently installed.

php-domxml-4.3.10-1.1.rhel3.ct
php-mhash-4.3.10-1.1.rhel3.ct
php-ldap-4.3.10-1.1.rhel3.ct
php-odbc-4.3.10-1.1.rhel3.ct

php-devel-4.3.10-1.1.rhel3.ct
webppliance-mod_php-4.0.3-22.rhel.3ES

The RPMs in bold are NOT included with GPAN's package.
More precisely, this is the list that is INSTALLED BUT NOT PRESENT IN NEW GPAN PACKAGE

php-domxml-4.3.10-1.1.rhel3.ct
php-mhash-4.3.10-1.1.rhel3.ct
php-xslt-4.3.10-1.1.rhel3.ct
php-debuginfo-4.3.10-1.1.rhel3.ct
php-imagick-4.3.10-1.1.rhel3.ct
webppliance-mod_php-frontend-4.0.3-22.rhel.3ES
webppliance-mod_php-4.0.3-22.rhel.3ES


The question is: what should I do here to upgrade to PHP 5.1?

1) Should I remove these, then upgrade the rest based on the RPMs provided by Gpan?

php-domxml-4.3.10-1.1.rhel3.ct
php-mhash-4.3.10-1.1.rhel3.ct
php-xslt-4.3.10-1.1.rhel3.ct
php-debuginfo-4.3.10-1.1.rhel3.ct
php-imagick-4.3.10-1.1.rhel3.ct
webppliance-mod_php-frontend-4.0.3-22.rhel.3ES
webppliance-mod_php-4.0.3-22.rhel.3ES

2) or should I upgrade only the RPMs already installed and leave the above untouched?

3) Where can I get the PHP 5.1 rpms that would allow me to upgrade this list to 5.1?

php-domxml-4.3.10-1.1.rhel3.ct
php-mhash-4.3.10-1.1.rhel3.ct
php-xslt-4.3.10-1.1.rhel3.ct
php-debuginfo-4.3.10-1.1.rhel3.ct
php-imagick-4.3.10-1.1.rhel3.ct
webppliance-mod_php-frontend-4.0.3-22.rhel.3ES
webppliance-mod_php-4.0.3-22.rhel.3ES

4) Would the 5.1 RPMs Gpan provided be able to co-exist with these?


Your advice will be welcome. Urgent!

I am on Ensim 4.0.3-22.rhel.3ES

Thanks.


Bobo.

I managed to finally upgrade thanks to Gpan help in another thread.

However, The sites are still having issues because all PHP scripts cannot load. I get blank pages with the following error message in the error.log.



I tried changing the path /usr/lib/php4 in PHP.INI into /usr/lib/php5. BUT this does not work because I see no /usr/lib/php5 folder at all in this area.

It seems no folder was created or what?

Can anyone help?

RPM's should have created new file php.ini.rpmnew. Just copy that over the over the php.ini and merge changes.

Hi gpan and others,
I have attempted to upgrade php using gpan's rpms.
After the upgrade i tried to start httpd but got the exact same error as T-Nets described above:



I then searched for the packages gpan advised to upgrade:



When i could not find these packages for my system i put in a trouble ticket at EV1 asking them for help. As usual they tried and help, by doing the following:



At this moment it seems php is still not setup correctly. When i try to access a php page i see an internal server error. I tried to run the server through maintenance mode but it seems the server cannot exit maintenance mode.
I hope gpan (or others) will be able to help.

Prior to the attempted upgrade we were using 4.3.9 on Esnim 4.0.4
Thanks in advance for your time.

Kind regards,

Dexter

Assuming you mean libxml2 ?

Located at:
http://dag.wieers.com/packages/libxml2/

Did you ever get your issue figured out Dexter?

ElfinStider: No i have not been able to solve the problem yet. At this moment i am still not able to use php on this server, also the ensim control panel is not accessable. The server is not coming out of maintenance mode, so it seems. See the following:



When i check for the PHP version i get the right version number:



Do you or anyone else recognise this problem?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Regards,
Dexter

Well Dextor, I've had a couple of issues with sites on this one. I'm pretty sure I got 5.1.1 working alright though, but because of some instability with some of our PHP sites, I've rolled back to the 4.x .

You might want to do the same.

Also, since your server isn't coming out of maintenance mode, you might have some other problem going on.

I'd put in a trouble ticket for that, just to get things back online. Backup your virtual sites and do a restore.

I am currently planning to do a restore. But before doing that i am looking if i can solve this issue. Do you have a detailed explanation how to roll back php to, for example 4.3.9?

Hope it wont have to come down to doing a restore.

Dexter

Had you asked me that an hour ago, it would have been fresh in my mind. . . I'll see about putting together a 'quick' how-to.

Still, you might want to wait until Gpan can chime in. He might be able to fix your problem with 5.1.1 .

Hi again,
If you would be so kind as to put together a how-to i would be thankfull.
I am actually looking for some information from Gpan about this. Hopefully he can help me or at least point me in the right direction.
I have in fact not touched anything since the problem first ocurred, because i want to wait for some advice from Gpan and maybe others.

The server in question has only one site on it that is using php for some elements on one of its pages. It is not a major problem that needs to be fixed NOW...........but a fix would be most welcome!

Thanks in advance for putting together that how-to.

Regards, Dexter

Well m'dear sire, I preface with with a certain feeling that Gpan will probably be able to solve your problems as soon as he has a moment.

If you want to step back, I've posted to how-to that worked for me in bringing my sites back to PHP 4.4.0 and I have to say I've learned a few things on the road.

Here's the thread, http://forum.ev1servers.net/showthread.php?t=60283

Good luck

I have attempted to upgrade php using gpan's rpms everything went fine without errors.
After the upgrade i can not login to Administrator Control Panel of VBulletin Forum Version 2.3.0, which is running on my server.
Every time i try to log in into the Administrator Control Panel i get get back to the log in panel.
Any idea how to solve that problem ?

I've followed this topic and used Gpan's RPMs and they worked like a charm on a CentOS 4.1 test server with Ensim Pro 4.1.0-8.

Is there a easy way to get MySQLi extensions working?

I've tried to follow this topic (off course with the right source version) but I got stuck on a mysql library configure error:
http://forum.ev1servers.net/showthread.php...ighlight=MySQLi

Thanks in advance!

Hi Elfinstrider, thnx for posting the how to roll back tutorial, although i have not used it i want to thank you for that. I have tried to get the server out of maintenance mode and it seems that i have succeeded in that. Ensim is working again and when i php -v i get the correct version of php (5.1.1).

But not all is perfect yet. It seems that php is not working for none of the sites on the server, but phpmyadmin is working without problems.

Any idea what's going on?

Thanks in advance for your reply.
Regards,

Dexter

Well, to tell the truth, I have a lot of sites running PHP on one of my boxes and doing the 5.1.1 upgrade seemed to screw with 80% of them. PHPmyAdmin and Squirrelmail both worked fine, but most of these sites just weren't PHP5 compatible, (even though some worked under 5.05 and not 5.04).

Doing the rollback and troubleshooting my scripts is what I've had to do. I have one box running PHP4 and all other boxes running PHP5. I am doing the migration betweeen the two as people need.

I know I could run both on one server, but there's enough load to spread anyway.

If you want to stick with 5.11, turn on your error reporting in PHP.ini and see what's going on with those broken sites. It's probably just a lot of little things.

If not, you still might want to consider the rollback.

Hope this helps mate,
-SCS

Thnx again for your reply,
I tried some to run some small php applications on one of the sites, but with no succes Then i tried a simple file that should work in my opinion, i made a phpinfo file and placed it under the webdirectory of one of the sites on the server. When i try to acces that file using my webbrowser i get a internal server error. It seems to me that if php is working properly on my sites, it should be able to display the info file.

I am concidering the rollback though, just want to see if i can get this 5.1.1 installation.

Regards
Dexter.

Certainly sounds like PHP is not working on your site at all. If you're getting an Internal Server Error, there's something messed up in your configuration somewhere.

Check your Error logs and see if that helps narrow it down.

I'm going to check the error logs, keep in mind that phpmyadmin works fine. It also uses php and is functioning without problems.

Dexter

Did you echo php-cgi binary into the /usr/bin/php ?

Do you get internal server errors in compatibility mode.

Hi,

I did register php-cgi binary in /usr/bin/php. I just logged in through the Ensim control panel to see if this site was in 3.1 compatibility mode and it was not, it was in high security mode. So i switched it to 3.1 compatibility and the php pages on that site worked.

My next question would be.........what can i do to run php scripts in high security mode?

Thanks in advance for your help.
Dexter

We modified the /var/www/interpreters/php-script -file and changed php to php-cgi. Try to change this in your high-security site and see if it works. Same solution is, however, to cat php-cgi over php in the site's chrooted /usr/bin/ like gpan informed.

Have tryed to install php5.1 rpms but when I do rpm -Uvh * I get the following error
[root@ns0 php5.1]# rpm -Uvh *.rpm
warning: package php = 5.1.1-1.1.rhel3.ct was already added, replacing with php <= 5.1.1-1.1.rhel4.ct

You need to rpm -e php-xslt rpm.

Thanks for that gpan that worked but my only other issue is I use your centeral squirrel mail and that has failed by upgrading php. Is there any updates I can apply that would fix this please

It's a bug in Squirrelmail but easy to fix.

If you have gpan's central squirrelmail installed, just modify the file /usr/share/squirrelmail/functions/imap_general.php. Find a function "sqimap_append" (somewhere around row 900) and change

fputs ($imap_stream, sqimap_session_id() . " APPEND "$sent_folder" (Seen) {$length}rn");

to

fputs ($imap_stream, sqimap_session_id() . " APPEND "$sent_folder" (Seen) {" . $length . "}rn");

Please forgive me, but did you copy the php-cgi binary over the /usr/bin/php or the /home/virtual/siteXX/fst/usr/bin/php?

cat /usr/bin/php-cgi > /home/virtual/FILESYSTEMTEMPLATE/apache/usr/bin/php

This bash script should update all sites.



Anyways Gpan, did you build this --with-sqlite? I have a client requesting that extension.

ok install went fine but when i goto any sites it shows all the php code as if i opend it in a txt doc
here is what i get with php -v as root

Your /etc/php.ini points to php4 modules. Find a setting "extension_dir" in php.ini and change it to be something like "/usr/lib/php/modules" or whatever is the path where your php5 modules lies. Then copy the modified php.ini to every site.

thanks for the reply but i tired that when i run the phpinfo on site it does show current php seems its not phrasing anythign

when i moved the php.ini over i logged in as site admin and did php -v i got this error
