Php5enmod on php:5.6 does not enable mod

Build Environment
,
1

When I run

version: 2
jobs:
  build:
    docker:
      # specify the version you desire here
      - image: circleci/php:5.6-apache

    working_directory: ~

    steps:
      - checkout

      # Download and cache dependencies
      - restore_cache:
          keys:
          - v1-dependencies-{{ checksum "composer.json" }}
          # fallback to using the latest cache if no exact match is found
          - v1-dependencies-

      - run:
          name: Install PHP requirements
          command: sudo apt-get -y install php5-gd

      - run:
          name: Enable PHP requirements
          command: sudo php5enmod gd

I get the following error:

44

What am I doing wrong?

2

There is nothing special about this image. Its built off of the official php image from docker. Does this work locally?

3

It works in my VM. Can I somehow install the CCI image locally so I won’t need to push new commits just to try different ways of enabling GD?

This is what I can find in my container:

Why can’t I enable GD?

Trying to write the content of the ini files semi-manually seems to not work either:

What is in /etc/php5/mods-enabled?

What do you get if you do php -m in SSH/rescue mode?

If you do a SSH into the container after failure, can you do sudo php5enmod gd there?

(I don’t have much of a idea what is going wrong, just a few things to try).

7

Aha, I spot that this is 0 bytes as well - seems to agree with your later findings that it is having trouble writing this file.

8

That directory wasn’t created, I managed to add it manually when ssh:ing into the container. Couldn’t get sudo php5enmod gd working manually.

9

The other thing to try is to try sudo apt-get -y install php5-gd in SSH mode (or see the verbose output from where it is presently). As far as I recall, on Ubuntu the module installation should be done for you, and the php5enmod is unnecessary. The only reason why that might not work automagically is if PHP is in a non-standard place in this image.

10

Also, are you sure it’s called php5-gd? Just do an apt-cache show php5-gd to make sure.

I’t like there is no PHP ini files at all, as if the PHP 5.6 installation is incomplete.

Fair enough. I am not sure what else to suggest - I am using docker:17.05.0-ce-git, and it has been smooth-sailing for me. I much prefer doing my own build anyway - would adding a Dockerfile and tweaking your .circleci/config.yml work for you?

I quite like defaulting to Alpine anyway - I would guess the CircleCI PHP images are based on Ubuntu or Debian, which are a bit on the chunky side.

14

Well, our production environment is Ubuntu, so that has value.

15

After manually creating directories and symbolic links, I have now reached:

32

yet:

circleci@0a68b6d82e9d:~$ cat /usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/gd.ini
; configuration for php GD module
; priority=20
extension=gd.so

Didn’t work, so I changed /usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/gd.ini to:

; configuration for php GD module
; priority=20
extension=/usr/lib/php5/20131226/gd.so

You should the How to install more PHP extensions section of the community’s PHP container:

https://hub.docker.com/_/php/

It’s not immensely straightforward compared to traditional PHP setups.
