PHP-FPM August 11, 2019 - PHP 7.3 install bug due to missing python3.6 dependency

@Hxxx came across this bug and it seems php 7.3 default betainstaller73.sh does have a bug and fails to install php 7.3.

I tested today at libzip install part of php install as php 7.3 by default enables argon2 and sodium password hashing algorithm support which requires newer libzip than CentOS 7 libzip provided via yum. So I install libzip via source compile but cmake3 is missing due to python36 EPEL yum package being missing recently.

Code (Text):

checking libzip... yes
checking for the location of zlib... /usr
checking for pkg-config... (cached) /bin/pkg-config
checking for libzip... not found
configure: error: Please reinstall the libzip distribution

fails because libzip failed to install complaining that cmake3 is missing?

Code (Text):

libzip-1.5.2/src/
libzip-1.5.2/src/CMakeLists.txt
libzip-1.5.2/src/getopt.c
libzip-1.5.2/src/getopt.h

inc/libzip.inc: line 30: cmake3: command not found
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.
make: *** No rule to make target `install'.  Stop.

checking initial install log in /root/centminlogs directory and it seems cmake3 now has an increased dependency on python 3.6 in centos 7!

Problem is python3.6 which is provided in EPEL yum repo seems to be missing right now on fresh install so problem with EPEL

Code (Text):

yum -y install cmake3 cmake3-data -q
Error: Package: cmake3-data-3.13.5-1.el7.noarch (epel)
           Requires: /usr/bin/python3.6

 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

missing on this install

Code (Text):

yum list python36 -q
Error: No matching Packages to list

on working install shows exists

Code (Text):

yum list python36 -q | tr -s ''

Looks like EPEL python36 bug is affecting other folks too https://stackoverflow.com/questions...rough-epel-release-package-python36-not-found

Looks like the problem is EPEL folks prematurely retired python36 packages due to CentOS 7.7 coming soon with native python36 package support but CentOS 7.7 isn't out yet so CentOS 7.6 folks are left without python36 via EPEL until CentOS 7.7 comes https://www.spinics.net/linux/fedora/epel-devel/msg02982.html !

Looks like EPEL folks are trying to undo their premature retiring of python36

Looks like EPEL have unretired python36 yum package now https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1739804#c15

 

Updated Centmin Mod 123.09beta01 with workaround fix outlined at https://community.centminmod.com/th...6-package-retirement-before-centos-7-7.18145/ based on discussed solutions at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1739804 by downloading the python36 EPEL yum rpm packages manually for install until EPEL reverses their premature removal of python36 packages. I downloaded the python36 EPEL yum packages for CentOS 7 (doesn't apply to CentOS 6) to local centminmod.com mirror so as to ensure it's available and installed via that centminmod.com local mirror.

This should fix failed PHP 7.3 installs on Centmin Mod 123.09beta01 for initial install as well as centmin.sh menu option 5 PHP upgrades.

• To update Centmin Mod 123.09beta01 code on your server, just run in SSH the command = cmupdate and then re-run centmin.sh menu option 5 to recompile PHP 7.3 specific versions i.e. 7.3.8 if you previously had PHP 7.3 fail.
• If you have working PHP 7.3, then this bug doesn't apply as you installed at time when python36 EPEL yum package was available so only run cmupdate command but no need to recompile via centmin.sh menu option 5.
