Description of problem: When switching from ubi8 to ubi9 the change from mod_php to php fpm breaks configs with environment variables Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Dockerfile.ubi8 # ubi8 FROM registry.access.redhat.com/ubi8/php-80 USER 0 ADD . /tmp/src RUN chown -R 1001:0 /tmp/src USER 1001 # Install the dependencies RUN /usr/libexec/s2i/assemble # Set the default command for the resulting image CMD /usr/libexec/s2i/run Dockerfile.ubi9 # ubi9 FROM registry.access.redhat.com/ubi9/php-80 USER 0 ADD . /tmp/src RUN chown -R 1001:0 /tmp/src USER 1001 # Uncomment this sed to fix the environment variables # RUN sed -i "s/.clear_env.=.*/clear_env = no/g" /etc/php-fpm.d/www.conf # Install the dependencies RUN /usr/libexec/s2i/assemble # Set the default command for the resulting image CMD /usr/libexec/s2i/run With those two docker files in the same directly build out a phpinfo file cat <<EOF >>phpinfo.php <?php phpinfo(); ?> EOF UBI8 baseline of expected results Now run the ubi8 image to see the expected baseline docker build . -f Dockerfile.ubi8 -t test8:latest podman run -e FOO=BAR -p 8080:8080 test8:latest open a browser to http://127.0.0.1:8080/phpinfo.php note: in loaded modules "mod_php" environment variable FOO is set to bar UBI9 showing issue docker build . -f Dockerfile.ubi9 -t test9:latest podman run -e FOO=BAR -p 8080:8080 test9:latest open a browser to http://127.0.0.1:8080/phpinfo.php note: no loaded modules "mod_php" php-fpm now set to active in cgi environment varible FOO is now missing From here you can edit the Dockerfile.ubi9 and uncomment the sed line/rebuild/rerun and see the normal expected results.

Default upstream value for php-fpm (clear_env=yes) is considered a security behavior I have no string opinion about this, perhaps should ask the security team about this.
For memory: this option was introduced in https://github.com/php/php-src/commit/a97ae8bc06dfd5e89932fa49f7a09acf5e555e6c The default value preserves previous behavior.
Upstream PR for implementing a new environment variable that allows configuration of the clear_env variable: https://github.com/sclorg/s2i-php-container/pull/406
