Issue with CentOS 7 and php 7.4 during oniguruma update

[DirectAdmin Support]

Hello,

We would like to make an announcement about an issue we've discovered about recent issues with PHP 7.4 on CentOS 7, requiring recompilation of PHP ("./build php n") after issuance of "yum update", even if this update was automated.

Affecting
Affecting systems with all 3 conditions:

1. CentOS 7
2. php 7.4 (all modes: php-fpm, cli, fastcgi)
3. yum update of oniguruma package

Cause
The oniguruma library is no longer bundled with PHP 7.4, instead libonig needs to be available on the system (or --disable-mbregex used to disable the mbregex component). CentOS 7 epel repository, which was used for installation of oniguruma-devel by default, updated their library lately. The update swaps /usr/lib64/libonig.so.2 with /usr/lib64/libonig.so.5 and breaks the linking of the library for /usr/local/php74/sbin/php-fpm74 (and other) binary files, that results in PHP outage.

Errors
You'd see an error that might look like this:

/usr/local/bin/php: error while loading shared libraries: libonig.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Solution
A simple recompile of php will do the trick:

/usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/build php n

If you run multiple versions as PHP, and you'd like to recompile just PHP-FPM 7.4 (for example) you may use the following command:

/usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/build php_expert 7.4 php-fpm

We hope the advanced warning will help mitigate the issue for anyone affected.

This is the same problem?

After the

/usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/build php n

php now starts but httpd stopped

When building php 7.4 I am getting

No package 'oniguruma' found

 

[floyd]

I had to install oniguruma

yum install http://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/7/remi/x86_64/oniguruma5php-6.9.5+rev1-2.el7.remi.x86_64.rpm
yum install http://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/7/remi/x86_64/oniguruma5php-devel-6.9.5+rev1-2.el7.remi.x86_64.rpm

In the short term I want to upgrade PHP 7.3 to version 7.4 on CentOS 7.

To avoid problems with PHP outages I assume that after a 'yum update' I have to install first the uniguruma package what @floyd says, and then the usual ./build php n ?

And are there possibilities that this process can be integrated in the Custombuild?

 

[skarweb]

That's correct Aar.

First install oniguruma. The latest version is 6.9.5 rev 1.3:

yum install http://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/7/remi/x86_64/oniguruma5php-6.9.5+rev1-3.el7.remi.x86_64.rpm
yum install http://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/7/remi/x86_64/oniguruma5php-devel-6.9.5+rev1-3.el7.remi.x86_64.rpm

Then:

cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild
./build update
./build set php1_release 7.4
./build php n
./build rewrite_confs

You will want to ensure that the epel repo is actually enabled.

I have run into issues where the repo is disabled so the oniguruma package is not updated.

The following files are no longer avalible:
--
yum install http://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/7/remi/x86_64/oniguruma5php-6.9.5+rev1-3.el7.remi.x86_64.rpm
yum install http://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise...ma5php-devel-6.9.5+rev1-3.el7.remi.x86_64.rpm

yum install http://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/7/remi/x86_64/oniguruma5php-6.9.5+rev1-3.el7.remi.x86_64.rpm

Well go to http://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/7/remi/x86_64 and pick the latest version.
