issues installing Typo3 CMS 6.2 on SLES 12

SUSE Product Topics SLES Configure-Administer

Has anyone been successful in deploying Typo3 CMS 6.2 on SLES 12?

I have several issues:

[LIST]
[]mysql appears to be missing - we will need to opt for MariaDB
[]Graphicsmagick is present in SLES 11 SDK, but is missing in SLES 12 SDK
[*]bzip2-devel cannot be found
[/LIST]

In our team we already have doubts whether SLES12 is a good choice to host Typo3 …
One of our motivation to go from SLES11 to SLES12 is that SLES12 is offering PHP 5.5.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experiences, Thomas

Hi

1 - Correct it’s MariaDB now, see release notes, but I would not expect issues.

2 - If you can’t use an alternative, then the Build Service could be used to create your own rpm based on the ‘graphics’ repository version? https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?project=graphics&package=GraphicsMagick or ask the maintainers to build a SLE 12 version for you?

3 - Naming convention, it’s there;

Hi
A further note on point 2, you can use ImageMagick (version 6.8) which is present in SLE 12;

Malcolm,

thanks very helpful!

Another Typo3 related question is whether there is a package php-opcache available: it should contain the opcache.so that comes with 5.5 versions of PHP.

Regards, Thomas

Hi
You would need to raise an SR for that since php5-opcache isn’t there
for SLE 12.

Else there is a 5.5.14 version built by a user on OBS (unsupported);
https://software.opensuse.org/package/php5-opcache
