Site is slow in making the announcements but Remi already has his out. For those that missed it. 5.4 is now EOL

7.0 RC4 is out as well. 7.0 RC5 will be the last RC and then 7.0.0 will go out Nov 12

5.4 is slated to EOL on Sept 14, 2015. PHP 7.0 is slated to go GA in early Nov http://php.net/supported-versions.php If you need your PHP libraries built faster, Remi runs a repo that generally builds the same day as any given release (Remi is a contributor to the PHP project so he tends to build ba...

We have a Watchguard X8000 firewall and SSH is enabled only for stated IPs. How then could a hacker get into the server? Only me and specified clients plus Parallel's have IPs stated. Many years ago we had a box get compromised because we had an intern code an image upload that never bothered to va...

You have both 32 bit and 64 libraries installed

Package php-common.x86_64 0:5.4.35-41.el5.art set to be updated

And your error

php-pdo-5.4.33-39.el5.art.i386 from atomic has depsolving problems

If you don't need 32 bit PHP I would uninstall it

yum remove php.i386

It's gone live. Looks like they're aiming more squarely at the cloud instances with this one. Of particular interest is this Numbering CentOS 7.0-1406 introduces a new numbering scheme that we want to further develop into the life of CentOS-7. The 0 component maps to the upstream realease, whose cod...

If you can, install php-mysqlnd (replaces php-mysql) and then you can skip the mysqlclient mess entirely

In the same vein, if you find a giant gaping security hole, going public with the information you got from said hole is probably not a smart idea. Still, you have to boggle that they had reported holes unfixed after a major data breach. I doubt he'll face charges but who exactly won here? Not this g...

So I'm curious is SSL3 is safe to turn off. What are the risks of leaving it on? RC4 seems more risky than that.

We just upgraded our servers to EL6 last week and now this. Thankfully a quick yum update and rekey and we're good again but quite the scare from this.

Ironic that EL5 is not exposed to this problem.

Now in alpha 2, when it goes to GA 5.4 will hit EOL

Hmm, the US version of Pro doesn't have the same scary language about PCI. Might have to do with banking industry differences. https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/paypal-payments-pro The way I read the UK site is this (full disclosure: I am not a lawyer, definitely not British, and this is not leg...

I've been preaching the benefits of Zend Opcache lately (available via PECL prior to 5.5 and as the package php-opcache afterwards). I find it's more stable than APC and easier to configure. With it being part of the PHP core now I think APC is not going to get as much attention (3.1.14 had to be ro...

A bit late but... 1. Make sure you're not using APC 3.1.14. It was so buggy they pulled it. Roll back to 3.1.13 (pecl remove apc, pecl install apc) 2. Consider using Zend Opcache . This is now a PECL library (for 5.3 and 5.4) and the default opcode cache for 5.5. Have had better success with this vs...

You can always install pecl libraries by compiling them as well.
People like the yum versions because they can be linked to their PHP counterparts as dependancies. PECL compiles against PHP so if you move major versions (like from 5.3 to 5.4) you have to recompile them.

This was a dev server so I could afford to leave it broken for a few weeks. I finally dug into the problem a bit more and found something odd. When I was looking at sqlite (the package that was failing) I noticed an extra .art in the devel package. After a bit of tinkering I decided to downgrade sql...
