1215429 – php should provide php(httpd)

RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Robert Scheck 2015-04-26 14:00:02 UTC

Description of problem:
None of the PHP packages in RHEL provides php(httpd), thus only a hard
dependency to either php or php-fpm is possible while it does not make
sense to install mod_php when php-fpm is in use. Thus PHP packages on
RHEL should simply provide php(httpd) (like they do already at Fedora).

Comment 1 Robert Scheck 2015-04-26 14:02:00 UTC

Cross-filed case 01436505 on the Red Hat customer portal.

Comment 3 Remi Collet 2015-04-27 05:39:54 UTC

This is not a simple fix.

In Fedora we have done a lot of work for this change. php(httpd) means a PHP working "out-of-the-box".

For now, in RHEL-7, only mod_php could provide this (and, this is trivial)

For php-fpm, we need to change php.conf, and split httpd to have the httpd-filesystem (used by php-fpm for user and directory ownership)

Comment 4 Robert Scheck 2015-04-27 20:55:19 UTC

Oh, I wasn't aware that this means an out-of-the-box working PHP. Do you see
chances to backport the efforts from Fedora to RHEL 7.x? RHEL 7 is relatively
young and I am not sure if it makes sense to make packages depending on the
mod_php while php-fpm seems to gain more and more attractivity (at least from
my perspective).
