[SOLVED] SlackwareARM 15 PHP xmlrpc mismatch

dchmelik · 04-21-2022, 04:41 AM

My SlackwareARM 15 server (up-to-date minutes ago) says the below trying to run PHP stuff (GNU Social.)

Code:

PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: xmlrpc: Unable to initialize module
Module compiled with module API=20190902
PHP    compiled with module API=20210902
These options need to match

I want to upgrade it to 64-bit so am hoping for a stable release...

What does this report?

Code:

 php --version

and

Code:

 php -i | egrep -i '(extension|API)'

You'll have to wait a bit for 15.1! However, -current AArch64 will be quite stable. If you've built a lot of local packages from source a stable release definitely makes sense, but if not -current is typically a stable forward-moving OS.

I think the issue is that you have the php package from /extra installed.
Try

Code:

removepkg php80 php81
upgradepkg --install-new --reinstall slackwarearm-15.0/patches/packages/php-*z

and restart httpd too if you're using it.

Code:

/etc/rc.d/rc.httpd restart

Fixed it for now but I thought I needed PHP8 for something...

I uploaded a new version of the php package anyway since I built it for debugging purposes.
If you want to use the newer PHP releases (8.0/8.1) you need to edit httpd's php module loader config -- the instructions are within the changelog for the last batch.

If you're using slackpkg to update, you'll want to configure it not to install these packages from /extra otherwise this will happen again.
There's probably a regex you can use to prevent it - I don't use slackpkg but I'm sure someone else can jump in who knows how to configure it if you need a hand.

It's pretty straight forward to black list all the php packages with:

Code:

php.*

Or just php80 / 81:

Code:

php80.*
php81.*

Or both php 8 but not the php 7 package:

Code:

php[0-9].*

Or only php 7:

Code:

php-[0-9].*

Just drop whichever you need into /etc/slackpkg/blacklist. Then run slackpkg update.
