PHP 7.0.8 libapache2-mod-php7.0 postinst broken

[xpender]

I looks like that in the package libapache2-mod-php7.0 Version 7.0.8-1~dotdeb+8.1 the postinst script is broken.

apache2_reload: AH00013: Pre-configuration failed

mpm_event stays enabled, so this results in an broken Apache2 Configuration.

Manual fix that works for now:

a2dismod mpm_event
a2enmod mpm_prefork

I'm still working on providing the ZTS version of PHP 7.0. In the meantime, mod_php7.0 should only be used with the prefork MPM. I won't enforce the dependency though.

[xpender]

It's not that I want to use the ZTS version or event MPM.

Before the postinst script automatically switched to prefork MPM if it was not active, but there is now a shell script error which breaks this:

/var/lib/dpkg/info/libapache2-mod-php7.0.postinst: 291: [: !=: unexpected operator

If I remember correctly, with older 7.0.X versions the auto-switch worked fine.

Got it! Thanks for the report, I'll work on it asap.

[gplessis]

A fix has been pushed to the 7.0.9 version. Could you please confirm?

[xpender]

I can confirm this is fixed..

I tested it on a freshly installed jessie and a couple of already running machines, postinst works fine and is auto-switching to prefork mpm if not already enabled.
