First of all, thank you for the great work! I'm very much looking forward to PHP7 in the new Ubuntu LTS.
I installed the latest 16.04 server image (http://cdimage.ubuntu.com /ubuntu-server/daily/current/xenial-server-amd64.iso) in a VM and added the php-ubuntu/php7.0 PPA. My goal was to get Nginx up 'n running with PHP FPM. Short story: it's working pretty well! Some observations. Please forgive me if I'm stating some very obvious things, I'm not a Linux packaging expert at all :) 1) I was surprised that the PHP package seems to have a dependency on Apache. I understood later that php can depend on a number of packages, including php-fpm, and that Apache is simply the first it finds. No biggie, something for the tutorials :) 2) The php-fpm package currently refers to php5.6: Package php-fpm is a virtual package provided by: php7.0-fpm 7.0.3-3 php5.6-fpm 5.6.18+dfsg-3 You should explicitly select one to install. 3) The default nginx config file has a php 5.6 reference for php-fpm: /etc/nginx/sites-available/default:57 - # fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock; + # fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock; 4) I was a bit confused that the php-fpm service is called php7.0-fpm.service, whilst the binary is called php-fpm7.0. Although I guess that will be automatically cleared up once the 7.0 is dropped? 5) The phpmyadmin package has php 5.6 dependencies: sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done The following additional packages will be installed: dbconfig-common dbconfig-mysql javascript-common libjs-jquery libjs-sphinxdoc libjs-underscore libmcrypt4 php-gd php-gettext php-mcrypt php-pear php-phpseclib php-readline php-tcpdf php5-common php5-gd php5-mysql php5.6-common php5.6-phpdbg php7.0-gd php7.0-mcrypt That's it for now! :) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1522422 Title: Update to php 7.0 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php5/+bug/1522422/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
