Hi @lukistellar,
@lukistellar said in WebApp und PHP 7.3:
Why are you not including newer versions of the mapi.so module into your installers? For me it would make more sense to include modules for supported php versions, also if they are not the main version of the distribution.
We are using a local installation of https://build.opensuse.org/ to build and package Kopano for the individual distributions. This essentially means that when we are building packages for e.g. Debian 9 only packages that this distributions provides from its own repository can be pulled in as build dependencies (additionally its also not [easily] doable to pull in additional packages during build as build roots do not have access to the internet). These circumstances contribute to the fact that we cannot simply provide additional mapi.so for any given distribution, but have restricted ourselves to the php version that the distribution provides by default.
Also your postinstall script places the config files in the folder for the newest version of php on the system - this doesn’t make sense for me.
Yes, the postinst is not really beautiful, but allows us to use the same postinst for all our debian packaging.
All in all:
If you want to use a newer php version than the one that your distribution provides -> pick another distribution that provides this version by default
Are you running an additional application on the same host as your Kopano, that requires a very specific version of php -> make use of virtualization and/or containerization to properly separate these two systems.
