Topic: php-5.4.7-10 and php_value
I've never been involved in how a repo is built and/or maintained and so I don't know who is responsible but I thought this would be a good place to start.
Between php-5.4.7-1 and php-5.4.7-10 a change to /etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf was made. It totally hosed our environment when it was installed. We had installed the -1 version on our test environment and when we rolled out 5.4.7 to production, we didn't realize the -1 had changed to -10.
The change to the file was to add:
php_value session.save_path "/var/lib/php/session"
Why this would be put into an rpm base (apache) configuration file is beyond me but the net effect was that our session.save_handler = memcached had no idea what to do with session.save_path = "/var/lib/php/session"
Anyone know who or why this was done? Was it an oversight perhaps?
