PHP 7.0.7 too old for librenms

English Install/Boot/Login
1

Hi,
I’m a newbie and trying to install librenms. We’ve choosen OpenSuse LEAP 42.3 as OS for our linux servers. When I run the install for librenms, I get the following error :
…] requires php ^5.5.9|>=7.0.8 → your PHP version (7.0.7) does not satisfy that requirement.

Is there a way to install the php version not yet officially released ? Perhaps lile installing another repo or something ?

Like I said, I’m still learning linux, maybe this is very simple, but I need help :slight_smile:

Thanks,
Alexandre Chevrier

This subforum is for questions about Installing and Booting openSUSE. There is an Applications sub-forum.

From the LibreNMS documentation (Redirecting...):

Please note the minimum supported PHP version is 5.6.4

Try pasting the error message inside CODE tags (use rhe # icon) so that id does not get mangled.

Hi,
thanks for the fast reply ! The error I mentionned is part of the error message. I think it needs php 5.5.9 or 7.0.8… because of the |>= between the 2 versions. Here is the full error messages :

Since I was trying to install a newer version of php, I thought install forum was a better place, I’ll use application next time if I have another “non-OS” post.

Thanks.

Sorry the “|>” is not so common and I thought that the inclusion of “>” had been mangled in the conversion to HTML. you get the CODE tag by selecting some text in the forum composition pane, then clicking on the “#” icon above the edit space.

Leap-15.0 will be officially released in two weeks and is very stable now. It includes PHP7-7.2.5. I //////////think that you should probably just install it now.

Recommend upgrading your PHP to 5.6.
You can do this by adding the PHP repo with the following command in an elevated console

zypper ar -f https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/php/openSUSE_Leap_42.3/ LEAP_42.3_PHP && zypper --gpg-auto-import-keys ref

Or,
You can use the one-click onstall on the following page, click on “Experimental repos” and then the first offering
https://software.opensuse.org/package/php5

Thanks, but 5.6 would be a downgrade ? I’ll wait 2 weeks for the next release. Only thing I didn’t understand is it’s version 15.0. Don’t know why it’s the upgrade of 42.3.

The 42.x decision was made to have some way to follow SUSE’s versioning, which was 12 at the time it was decided. We couldn’t have 12 since we were already past that. The reason for somehow following SUSE’s versioning was that SUSE released it’s codebase to openSUSE ( which is still the case, Leap is ~⅓ SUSE under the hood ). Last year SUSE decided to skip 13 and 14 for mostly marketing reasons ( 13, in most of the western world is a ‘bad’ number, 14 in Asia ), so the new SUSE will be 15. After a long and elaborate discussion the devs and packagers suggested it would be easier to synchronize openSUSE’s version to SUSE’s, the marketing people agreed completely. So from here on we will have Leap 15, where the future Leap 15.3 will mean it shares the codebase with SUSE 15, Service Pack 3.

Re. Leap 15: You could start to install it on one server, everything’s frozen now, only bug-fixes will be added, but a normal update routine should have your server on Leap 15 on the 25th, the release date. I wouldn’t hesitate FWIW

Thanks for the info, very interetsting. How could I install LEAP 15 on my server for librenms ? I can’t find the download… I guess it’s normal since it’s not released and zypper dup doesn’t show it… for the same reason I guess.

Do I have to register to be a beta tester or something like that ?

No just download/install/and use
