New install, webapp just showing php code

nickh

I’ve just installed Kopano into ClearOS7 (like centos7) and when I go to the Webapp all I get is a php page like:

<?php
	/**
	 * This is the entry point for every request that should return HTML
	 * (one exception is that it also returns translated text for javascript)
	 */

	// Bootstrap the script
	require_once('server/includes/bootstrap.php');

	// Added in 3.4.0, remove check in 3.5.0
	if (!function_exists('gitversion')) {
		/**
		 * Obtain the current Git working branch
		 * @return string the current git working branch
		 */
<snip>

If I upgrade from a working 3.5.2 it works. Just the fresh install is failing.

It must be something basic that I’m missing. Pointers would be appreciated.

Answering my own question, somewhere in the updates the requirement for php in Kopano and/or Webapp has been dropped. If I install php it all works. I am surprised.

Is this a bug or intentional?

And adding a bit more info, the requirement used to be in z-push-common but is no longer. Shouldn’t the requirement also be somewhere in the Kopano suite?

@nickh which versions are you currently using? And which repo did you configure for Z-Push?

nickh

I am using Kopano 8.7.20, webapp-3.5.14 and z-push-common 2.6.2 from the new kopano repo.

I am really surprised that the Kopano suite does not have a requires of php somewhere - and not in z-push as that is an extra.

[edit]
I got away with it before because z-push-common used to require php but it does not any more.

from the new kopano repo.

What do you mean with “new kopano repo”? Can you post the exact url you have configured?

Which has been the version that you have used before? Its been quite a while since the z-push packaging has changed -> https://github.com/Z-Hub/Z-Push/commits/master/build/rpm/z-push.spec

@nickh said in New install, webapp just showing php code:

webapp-3.5.14

That version is from december 2019, current final for customers is 5.1.0.

nickh

My bad. Webapp is 5.1.0.

The last version of z-push we used is 2.5.2. It looks like the last commit changed the requirement away from php. Perhaps el7 should also be included in the “%if 0%{?suse_version}” line.

[edit]
But having said that, z-push is not a requirement of Kopano so it can’t be relied on.
