Docker-php-ext-install error with cimg/php:8.3

Is CircleCI blocked by PHP Mirrors? I am getting 503 when installing the docker-php-ext-install.

@circleci-community please help in understanding that I am able to call the URL https://www.php.net/distributions/php-8.3.30.tar.xz but in CircleCI job it is giving errors.

^@^@curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 503 /usr/local/bin/docker-php-ext-install: line 19: cd: /usr/src/php/ext: No such file or directory Exited with code exit status 1

+1 on this. We are using the cimg/php:7.4 image (lots of back-compat testing) and get the same problem.

Our job runs docker-php-ext-install zip

The docker-php-ext-install script in the image runs docker-php-source extract, which should be doing curl -fsSL -o php.tar.xz https://www.php.net/distributions/php-7.4.33.tar.xz

Running the curl command locally works fine. But we are seeing the 503 error in CircleCI.

We also suspect that CircleCI has been blocked by php.net

I note that a similar issue has been raised on the PHP.net GitHub repo: IP Rate limited from https://www.php.net/releases/index.php?json · Issue #1844 · php/web-php · GitHub

+1.

I found this issue too.

Tried switching images doesn’t help.

  • cimg/php:8.4.18-node
  • cimg/php:8.4-node

Also tried switching resource_class doesn’t help too.

The error:

curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 503
/usr/local/bin/docker-php-ext-configure: line 19: cd: /usr/src/php/ext: No such file or directory

I ended up by compiling from scratch using the custom script. Sharing here if someone needs a quick solution.

#!/usr/bin/env bash
set -euo pipefail
​
echo "PHP_VERSION=$(php -r 'echo PHP_VERSION;')"
​
# If source already exists (e.g., restored from cache), stop here.
if [ -d /usr/src/php/ext ]; then
  echo "/usr/src/php/ext already present, skipping download"
  exit 0
fi
​
# Keep a copy of the original script once per job container
if [ ! -f /usr/local/bin/docker-php-source.orig ]; then
  sudo cp /usr/local/bin/docker-php-source /usr/local/bin/docker-php-source.orig
fi
​
# Install wrapper. This is in a repo file, so CircleCI config parsing won't care about the heredoc.
