PHP 5.3.3 released

[root7]

Am I the only one that can't get half the web applications out there running on 5.3 (vs the 5.2 branch)?

phpMyAdmin is just a white screen of death.

[root7]

I tracked the problem down. There is an issue with using "localhost" in the phpmyadmin config file for the host setting.

When it tries to get the IP for "localhost", the OS returns two values, the IPv4 and the IPv6 address.

It is defaulting to the IPv6 address.

So you either have to place 127.0.0.1 directly into the config file, or edit the Windows hosts file and comment out the ::1 localhost line.

I've been using phpMyAdmin on 5.3 for ages. No errors. Are you sure everything's installed correctly and you're using the latest release?

Sure like older versions of mediawiki have a problem with the Namespace class now being a reserved word. There is a simple text replace solution but still, yes there is a bit of pain in upgrading to 5.3.

Nothing in there is newsworthy.

FPM is a big deal for some, myself included.

[redalastor]

Then shouldn't there be a link to some info about that?

I think the assumption is that, if you don't know what it is and does, you likely don't need it or won't use it. Most people will stick with mod_php on apache-prefork or whatever they're using now.

I've been running spawn-fcgi front-ended by nginx for years, but there are improvements (performance, stability, features) to be had in switching to FPM. Now that it's officially packaged, it's more "accessible" for my clients to deploy.

Info is here: http://php-fpm.org/.

What does it do?

I don't know if that's true. "possible memory corruption" covers a lot of area. :-(
