2 years ago Do anyone know if the php 8.1 packages became available for regular ec2 instances?
@ihor-sviziev Do you mean the amzn2extra repo? I can say that having updated everything just now and checking amazon-linux-extras has php8.0=latest enabled [ =stable ] with php8.1 not listed (whereas php7.4 is listed there as available so one would imagine that's where 8.1 would show [right?] and it isn't available yet.)
Maybe I'm missing a step here, and I sure would love to know if there is an official way of doing so that I'm just missing (I know there are alternative options for getting PHP 8.1, but I'd like to stick to amazon-linux-extras, if I can.) It does appear it's not listed as available via this method yet (please correct me if I'm wrong.)

2 years ago @swiffer It appears you're encountering what I found & detailed in https://github.com/aws/elastic-beanstalk-roadmap/issues/214#issuecomment-1208871665 above.
That's showing you're using amzn2extra which then has PHP 8.0.20 being used, currently (that being the latest PHP version from the php8.0 item in amazon-linux-extras that's likely enabled & being used.)
I checked just now and amazon-linux-extras is still not listing php8.1 as an option. So it seems we're still waiting on AWS to complete that remaining item regarding PHP 8.1 being made available officially from them where past PHP versions are offered. Once that's offered (hopefully soon since it's now available elsewhere as mentioned by others above), one can go through the route of switching the enabled php version via amazon-linux-extras (among the other steps potentially involved.)

Here's the alphabetical list of what amazon-linux-extras currently offers on an otherwise up-to-date Amazon Linux 2 instance: https://gist.github.com/KZeni/9fa3510fb721e7782cdc3f89489fda8e
*Note that PHP has a dedicated item for each x.1 version that then auto-updates the x.x.1 version for patches where it's still missing php8.1 as of now.

2 years ago In addition to the missing pecl, which is easily remedied, it seems that PHP's gd and pdo extensions are also missing. Is this intentional, or is this upgrade half-baked? Should I workaround or wait?
cloudjareen

2 years ago I would like to confirm that gd and pdo extensions do exist. Please ssh into the instance and check using the command php -m. Also thanks for the 8.1 release. However its very depressing to see such a highly voted feature take so much time to land. There are a lot of folks out here who do not use docker , coz otherwise they could have used any service besides beanstalk. But I would like everybody to invest learning docker, so that we are not at mercy of late releases like this. Thanks

MortenDHansen
commented
2 years ago Alright. I i'm not able to grasp how to get extensions that are not pre-loaded to work. Many applications will for example need a redis connection (in my case elasticache), but there seems to be no way to install redis for php after the upgrade, no articles seems to be able to help. (eg. https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/elastic-beanstalk-pecl7-amazon-linux2/)
Running installation for any extension picks the 8.0 extension.
How can i uninstall the elasticbeanstalk php so i can reinstall from remi instead?
andyexeter
commented
2 years ago @MortenDHansen I ended up switching to Pickle after seeing pecl was no longer installed by default.
Here's prebuild script which sets the redis extension up (create it as e.g. .platform/prebuild/10_install_redis.sh):
#!/bin/bash
set -xe
if ! [ -f /bin/pickle ]; then
wget https://github.com/FriendsOfPHP/pickle/releases/latest/download/pickle.phar -O /bin/pickle
chmod +x /bin/pickle
fi
if ! php -r 'exit(extension_loaded("redis") ? 0 : 1);'; then
/bin/pickle install redis --no-interaction --no-ansi
echo 'extension=redis.so' > /etc/php.d/41-redis.ini
fiOh thanks! - that mitigates an issue on the list. Can't seem to do pcntl that way though :)

2 years ago You can install pecl then redis via it as well. Something to this effect

@1tonyca While I'm sure we all appreciate that you now have 8.1 support, do you honestly feel like the communication with the community in this thread is adequate? No explanation for the absurd delay? No replies to/help with any of the problems people are having, the bugs found or missing features such as pecl, extra repo support etc?
PeterCai7
commented
2 years ago Sorry that we are not able to make the community happy at this time. We have noticed the bugs and missing features and thank you all for the feedbacks. But for extra repo support, this is the first time EB team was curating PHP runtime by our own rather than using Amazon Linux repo. We don't have a good answer for this point yet. We are working on all those stuff and explanary wordings. Will update once we feel they are verified and reliable.

2 years ago As REMI repository for php 8.1 is not working on arm/graviton cpus, I managed to install the missing php extensions (redis, ev, pcntl support) with the following yaml snippet of .ebextensions:
02_install_pecl_redis:
command: |
php /usr/lib/php/peclcmd.php install redis
echo "extension=redis.so" | tee /etc/php.d/50-redis.ini
test: "php -r \"exit(extension_loaded('redis') ? 1 : 0);\""
03_install_pecl_ev:
command: |
php /usr/lib/php/peclcmd.php install ev
echo "extension=ev.so" | tee /etc/php.d/50-ev.ini
test: "php -r \"exit(extension_loaded('ev') ? 1 : 0);\""
04_install_pcntl:
command: |
wget https://www.php.net/distributions/php-8.1.9.tar.gz
tar -xf php-8.1.9.tar.gz
cd php-8.1.9/ext/pcntl
phpize
./configure
make
mv modules/pcntl.so /lib/php/extensions/no-debug-zts-20210902/pcntl.so
cd ../../../
rm -rf php-8.1.9
echo "extension=pcntl.so" | tee /etc/php.d/50-pcntl.ini
test: "php -r \"exit(extension_loaded('pcntl') ? 1 : 0);\""Of course the hardocoded folder doesn't look good (you can use something like php-config --extension-dir) but it's tested and fully working on both x64 and graviton arm ATM

use this syntax
rpm -i /opt/elasticbeanstalk/RPMS/php-debuginfo-8.1.8-1.amzn2.x86_64.rpm@andres-montanez Okay, I see that https://aws.amazon.com/amazon-linux-2/faqs/ points to Amazon Linux 2022 (AL2022) as being the successor to Amazon Linux 2 (AL2), but AL2022 is still showing as Release Candidate per https://aws.amazon.com/linux/amazon-linux-2022/.
Also, the AMI Catalog doesn't really feature it with the only match for "Amazon Linux 2022" or "AL2022" either being the one "Amazon ECS-Optimized Amazon Linux 2022 (AL2022) x86_64 AMI - PREVIEW" AMI under "AWS Marketplace AMIs" or a handful of AMIs being under the "Community AMIs" tab (it then not being in the recommended/"Quickstart AMIs" at all [likely due to it not being officially released yet.])
I think I'd prefer to stay on Amazon Linux 2 for the meantime (with the new EOL being June 30th, 2024 per their FAQs linked above) with this just needing PHP 8.1 added to Amazon Linux Extras rather than jumping over to a wholly different OS version that's not officially released yet (at least not considered ready for production environments per it still being a release candidate.) Especially considering https://docs.aws.amazon.com/linux/al2022/ug/compare-al2-to-AL2022.html shows migrating between the two not being the most seamless experience in certain ways (at least for now.)
@RahulDey12 Doesn't that method just avoid the use of Amazon Linux Extras? Ideally, I'd like to keep using the Amazon Linux Extras convention that was established for Amazon Linux 2 since we just need them to add support for new PHP versions via this tool when they're made available (especially after elastic beanstalk has it added).
It would seem odd for them to drop support for adding new versions of things to amazon-linux-extras considering that's the convention Amazon Linux 2 set up for these items with Amazon Linux 2 then saying it's still being supported through mid-2024.
As far as I can tell, we're still waiting on PHP 8.1.x to be added to Amazon Linux Extras. We technically have yet to be given a confirmation that AWS has any plans to do so (let alone provide a timeline.) They got it added to EB (~9 months after release) while mentions of amazon-linux-extras have either been effectively ignored, had existing customers say they also are waiting for it, or had people bring up ways to add PHP 8.1 that essentially avoids the use of amazon-linux-extras to do so. It's also been brought up on re:Post multiple times (also without luck when it comes to them saying they'll actually be adding PHP 8.1 to Amazon Linux 2 or not [both in providing a timeline & just saying they're planning to do it at all.])
RahulDey12
commented
2 years ago @KZeni I think the amazon-linux-extra is a wonderful way to install any version of PHP. But from PHP 8.1 I think AWS is not planning to add any future support for PHP in the amazon-linux-extras repo. So I think it's time to move on RHEL distro instead of AL2. AL2 was also an RHEL-based distro so there is not much of a change in terms of configuration. But the draw back is that RHEL distros cost more money than AL2 because of the licensing. But RHEL has wonderful support for PHP thanks to Remi Repos.
KZeni
commented
2 years ago @RahulDey12 Have they actually stated they're no longer supporting amazon-linux-extras or are you just guessing that's the case?
Also, when it comes to changing over to a different Linux distro... it's kinda like seeing people asking for an update be made to a key feature of an operating system that AWS has stated they're supporting through mid-2024 (like the case is here) and then just saying to switch operating systems as a resolution (while then only stating a specific OS/distro when there's actually a successor to the OS/distro in question [AL2 => AL2022] that would also address the issue.) Seems a bit heavy handed of a recommendation for a case like this (especially when there are other options that don't have added licensing fees, are also reasonable & reputable, and wouldn't have this issue [ex. Ubuntu, Fedora, CentOS, etc. and even the successor to Amazon Linux 2... Amazon Linux 2022 which is then based on Fedora which is then closely related to RHEL where it just needs to leave Release Candidate/Preview status.])
That said, the fact AWS (both EB & the AL2 extras) hasn't managed this very well has me looking outside of their offerings if they keep lagging behind like this (ex. Docker, using a different linux distro, etc.... possibly keep with the latest Amazon Linux distros [or possibly use Amazon ECS] while then just using Docker for the server software/environment.)

Tell us about your request What do you want us to build?
PHP 8.1 has officially been released on 25 November 2021, yay! Here are the changes and features introduced in this release: https://www.php.net/releases/8.1/en.php. It would be great to see it supported natively by Elastic Beanstalk.
Are you currently working around this issue?
Staying on PHP 8.0 or installing the 8.1 manually during startup.
