Strange one with PHP Versions

Submitted by just_me on Wed, 04/11/2018 - 01:16

This time i have a strange one:

i Installed Debian 9.4 with PHP 7.0, then added 5.6 for compatibility. Then i had upgrademessages for various packages, and did a bulk update. Which added PHP 7.2 to the system.

Interestingly enough, Webmin shows both PHP 7.x versions, but not 5.6. On the other hand Virtualmin shows all three of them.

I really don't know, what to make out of this.

Do we talk about a bug or is it by design?

Thanks and best

Howdy -- there's likely a PHP 5.x config file in the user's home directory that Virtualmin is picking up on.

What output do you see when going into System Settings -> Re-Check Config though?

Hi Eric,

i did, and it was rolling through, but didn't made a difference in webmin. Checking my /etc/php/apache2 folder, showed me this: 5.6 7.0 7.1 7.2

It keeps creating PHP versions literally over night. I never knew, i would have 7.1 too. From timestamp i assume he created 7.1 together with 7.2 when i ran all the updates, which, virtualmin/webmin told me would be available.

Thanks and best.

For backwards compatibility i wanted to have 5.6 as well as 7.0, those two were intended to be installed on the server,...

Running the "Re-Check Config" wasn't to fix the problem you're experiencing... I was hoping to use the information it outputs to help us understand what PHP versions it is detecting.

That said, I don't believe there are alternate PHP repos for Debian that we officially support, so I don't actually have a recommendation for you on how to get different PHP versions working.

However, we could at least look into why you're seeing the behavior you described.
