Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=74138&edit=1 ID: 74138 Comment by: coenraad at wish dot org dot za Reported by: coenraad at wish dot org dot za Summary: make install clobbers existing configuration Status: Open Type: Bug Package: *Compile Issues Operating System: Any PHP Version: 7.1Git-2017-02-20 (Git) Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: The real problem is that php-fpm.d/* is included in most configs, and writing a .default to that directory causes problems Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2017-02-21 00:59:22] coenraad at wish dot org dot za Package maintainers will almost always build in a clean environment anyways, so this shouldn't affect them. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2017-02-21 00:24:57] coenraad at wish dot org dot za Description: ------------ make install clobbers any existing configuration for php-fpm.conf This is problematic because most if not all PHP projects are very configuration dependent - and as such a "make install" will break an existing PHP application. It is further notable because the PHP version shipping with most distributions is quite old and it is becoming common for most applications to compile PHP themselves. Clobbering my configuration files and having to figure out how to get them working has robbed me of countless hours over the last month. Fix: do not overwrite existing php-fpm.conf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=74138&edit=1
