PhP was installed by the FOG installer itself.

@Wayne-Workman What do you mean intermittent?

[Wayne Workman]

Well, it appears to be intermittent.

[Wayne Workman]

@Tom-Elliott This isn’t solved yet. CentOS 7 still does not install correctly with working-RC-15 version 51.

[Tom Elliott]

@Wayne-Workman yes I’m sure.

[Wayne Workman]

@Tom-Elliott Are you sure? Last night I didn’t have success with my CentOS 7 tests.

[Tom Elliott]

Found and more appropriately addressed. Thanks @Wayne-Workman for taking a bit of the lead. I found a few more issues with how it was being handled and am fairly sure this is now properly fixed. Thanks @sudburr for reporting. Mind you, I’m also not seeing the double entry in the fogsettings file though.

@sudburr I found it, this fixes it:
https://github.com/FOGProject/fogproject/pull/138/files

So I’m sure RC-15 will be solid again for CentOS 7.

@sudburr said in Virgin Install of RC14v3(svn5974) pulling wrong PhP:

It’s interesting to note that pre-installing PhP 7.x causes the installer to fail.

I didn’t realize that. I will try to dig into the installer tonight.

[sudburr]

Thank you.

So for now, a workaround must be employed post-installation to make up for the FOG installer until it is updated to fetch and install the proper PhP repositories for CentOS 7.2.1511.

Can we expect this in RC15?

It’s interesting to note that pre-installing PhP 7.x causes the installer to fail.

This reminds me of some testing awhile ago with an earlier version of FOG where even though PhP 7.x was already installed, the FOG installer forced the installation of 5.4 or whatever.

Upgrading to PhP 7.x after installation of FOG, then rebooting

rpm -Uvh http://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/remi-release-7.rpm
yum-config-manager --enable remi-php70
php -v
yum clean all
yum makecache
yum update -y
reboot

… then revisiting the web page appears to fix it.
