PHP 5.4.x changes

New Article in the Wiki on this topic. Check out it's effects in the appliances used.

Hope such changes will not affect the PVE Management interface.

The only encrypted bash file in the ISO of ProxmoxVE v1.x series is the unconfigured.sh during install.

What is the purpose of this article? Proxmox VE does not use PHP.

I think he's worried about many pve templates which use the XAMP stack, he's mantaining some of them, if i remember well,
But i can't really understand the meaning of the introduction? It seems angry, too, with some government...?

Proxmox VE appliances are using Debian Squeeze - this means if PHP is needed there its PHP 5.3. There is no PHP 5.4 in Squeeze.

The Web interface for ProxmoxVE v1.x uses Perl, JS and html only and v2.x uses django (Python Framework) as well.

No anger for govt. Only info about govts (US and EU) allowing corporates to buy Open Source like PHP and MySQL and their way forward that may affect Open Source users and existing code bases.

Many templates for ProxMox use PHP and newer versions of these applications may need PHP 5.4 version and above. Pointers to how it may affect scripts and means to modify code to continue to work well are linked there.

Working on building new templates for vTigerCRM v5.4, MediaWiki v1.20wmf (the install is broken if mod_rewrite is enabled during install in the conventional debian way - experimental debs stopped at 1.18.1) and was picking up the threads from where I left off a few months ago, now that v2.x is out and we need the templates to work well.

ProxmoxVE v1.x uses PHP for the web interface ..

Again, this is simple wrong. Proxmox VE 1.x and also 2.x does not use PHP. Proxmox VE is PHP free (unless you install it manually).

Thanks Tom for clarifying that the web gui is PHP free. The post stands corrected.
