Is this a bug?
Shouldn't package installer handle this somehow?
I do I fix this keeping my configs under /etc structure?
Thanks in advance.

Re: Bug in php56-runtime 2.3-1.el7 @remi-safe ?

What is the /etc/opt/remi/php56 directory ?

Indeed, the new php56-runtime comes with a link to /opt/remi/php56/root/etc so all collections can be used the same way (php56 still have the old layout)

ie: /etc/opt/remi/php*/php.ini

> Shouldn't package installer handle this somehow?

RPM can't handle such situation. BTW better to fail than destroy your data.


P.S. in short, the new php56-runtime does the same thing you have done differently.

I store all relevant configs there. I prefer to store them under /etc/opt/ then under /opt to have all configuration in one place (easier to backup, etc).

Is there any way I could keep configs under /etc/opt and "fix" this php56-runtime upgrade ?

As I see every failed upgrade creates link to /opt/remi/php56/root/etc

and then in /opt/remi/php56/root/etc there are links back:

I'm confused..

Re: Bug in php56-runtime 2.3-1.el7 @remi-safe ?

1: save tour configuration files

2: delete the directory and the symlinks  (= switch back To the default layout)

3: update

4: restore (if needed) your files

Re: Bug in php56-runtime 2.3-1.el7 @remi-safe ?

Thanks Remi. I've done this and it worked.
Btw; it seems that php70 has a diffent layout (configs in /etc/opt, logs in /var/opt) and I was trying to follow it with php56.
It would be great if all version had this same layout

Indeed.

Old collections use the old layout (not FHS compliant)
New collections use the new layout (which is now FHS compliant)

The reason why I've added the symlink in the php56 to be able to use same path everywhere.

I doesn't seems possible to change layout of the old collections, especially when the simple "symlink" way already raise this issue wink

Re: Bug in php56-runtime 2.3-1.el7 @remi-safe ?

Ok, I understand that.
I wrote a small script that I will be using to correct this manually smile

#
# etc
#
# remove symbolic link from etc & create directory instead
rm -f /etc/opt/remi/php56; mkdir -p /etc/opt/remi/php56
# move contents from opt to etc
mv /opt/remi/php56/root/etc/* /etc/opt/remi/php56/
# remove original directory from opt and create link to etc
rm -rf /opt/remi/php56/root/etc; ln -s /etc/opt/remi/php56 /opt/remi/php56/root/etc
#
# var
#
# remove symbolic link from var & create directory instead
rm -f /var/opt/remi/php56; mkdir -p /var/opt/remi/php56
# move contents from opt to var
mv /opt/remi/php56/root/var/* /var/opt/remi/php56/
# remove original directory from opt and create link to var
rm -rf /opt/remi/php56/root/var ln -s /var/opt/remi/php56 /opt/remi/php56/root/var
# create additional var/log and var/run subdirectories
mkdir -p /var/opt/remi/php56/{log,run}/php-fpm

Re: Bug in php56-runtime 2.3-1.el7 @remi-safe ?

Having the symlink from the new php56-runtime isn't enough ?

$ ll /etc/opt/remi/php*/php.ini
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 67145  6 juil. 07:06 /etc/opt/remi/php56/php.ini
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 60606 10 oct.  16:03 /etc/opt/remi/php70/php.ini

Re: Bug in php56-runtime 2.3-1.el7 @remi-safe ?

I use a backup tool that would only backup the symlink then, not the target
