PHP for SLES 12 question

SUSE Linux Enterprise Server SLES Configure-Administer
1

Hey guys,

What happened to PHP in SLES 12?

It’s not there anymore, I even tried to compile it and there is no apxs2 file for Apache (apache2-devel) either, so I’m confused what happened to good old SLES?

Hi
Did you add the “SLE-Module-Web-Scripting12” and “SLE-SDK12” repository
extensions? If not YaST → Add on product.

You can find apx2 installing apache2-devel package. This package is included in SUSE Linux Enterprise SDK 12 extension.

Thanks all for your replies, but I decided to build it using my private OBS appliance and I have 5.6.3 on SLE 12 up and running.

Note that the Web and Scripting Module currently provides PHP 5.5.14
which is supported by SUSE - if you have an issue relating to your own
PHP 5.6.3 packages you will not be supported.

HTH.

For installing PHP version 5 or 7 in Suse server (Sles12SP1-3) you must add php repository to server. For example add php5.6 repository to SLES12SP3 you must add below command:

zypper addrepo http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/php:/php56/SLE_12_SP3/devel:languages:php:php56.repo

or for add php7.1 repository to SLES12 Sp3 run this command:
zypper addrepo http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/php:/php71/SLE_12_SP3/devel:languages:php:php71.repo

after that go to software management by yast and install php

Adding the external opensuse repositories to your server will void your support![/FONT][/COLOR]
