Hello Guys,

Hi,

the spec file depends on the PHP package from SCL. You can modify it and built your own packages if you need just that.

Is there a specific requirement to update to PHP 7.3 in your environment?

Hi,

build my own icingaweb2 package?

I found out PHP 7.1.8 have some vulnerbilities. So it is for security reasons.

Best regards

Keep in mind that RedHat incorporates patches into their distribution packages, so verification of those issues is required before bumping things straight ahead. Currently there’s no PHP 7.3 in SCL, so with using other sources you need to adjust the dependencies yourself anyways.

Do you have a link to a tutorial for compiling icingaweb2?

I’d just use the source rpm from http://packages.icinga.com/epel/7/release/src/, extract the spec file, patch it for dependencies and rebuild a new RPM.

Something like this.

Cheers,
Michael

Thank you for the help! :grin:
I run icingaweb2 now with rh-php72. I was to lazy to compile php73 by myself.
