compatibility with PHP 8.1

[mfaroukg]

Have any one tested the coova-chilli on newest Ubuntu 22.04 with PHP 8.1?

I found any errors like: 1- Hasrel is giving CGI error Exception. 2- use name and password are not passed to the Freeradius. 3- No much people using this code since long time, any substitute ??

Hi,

Here are the versions I have:

lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 22.10 Release: 22.10 Codename: kinetic

||/ Name Version Architecture Description +++-==============-=======================-============-=================================================================== ii apache2 2.4.54-2ubuntu1.1 amd64 Apache HTTP Server ii haserl 0.9.36-1 amd64 CGI scripting program for embedded environments ii mysql-server 8.0.32-0ubuntu0.22.10.2 all MySQL database server (metapackage depending on the latest version) ii php 2:8.1+92ubuntu1 all server-side, HTML-embedded scripting language (default)

if you can share with me the versions you have working, it might be helpful to compare.

when I tried that, I found some issue with the package "lua" -this happened also with haserl-0.9.36-

haserl-0.9.35# ./configure --with-lua . . . configure: error: Package requirements (lua) were not met:

No package 'lua' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables LUA_CFLAGS and LUA_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details.

I tried many versions of the lua "5.2,5.3,5.4" every time can't be found

Hi, After I tried all versions of haserl and lua, still the configure command can't locate the lua application

dpkg -l | grep lua5 ii liblua5.2-0:amd64 5.2.4-2 amd64 Shared library for the Lua interpreter version 5.2 ii liblua5.3-0:amd64 5.3.6-1build1 amd64 Shared library for the Lua interpreter version 5.3 ii liblua5.4-0:amd64 5.4.4-3 amd64 Shared library for the Lua interpreter version 5.4

** Configuration summary for haserl 0.9.36:

Building haserl with with lua disabled
Building haserl with with bash-extensions disabled
libs: 

Trying with full path

configure: error: Package requirements (/home/.../lua-5.4.4/src/lua) were not met:

No package '/home/.../lua-5.4.4/src/lua' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables LUA_CFLAGS and LUA_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details.

ll /home/.../lua-5.4.4/src/lua -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 308K Feb 12 23:54 /home/.../lua-5.4.4/src/lua*

when I install the haserl direct using apt it installs lua5.2 without a problem.

The password page behavior shows as refresh every time I enter the user/password. I think the php8.1 not compatible with the haserl and lua and coova-chilli php codes

Still the issue exist, any one have good knowledge of how it works with this PHP and why not passing the username and password to the freeradius?

I downgraded my OS to Ubuntu focal and it worked

will try again when Ubuntu/PHP worked stable
