Upgrade PHP version

[jippi]

Hi

try to run apt-cache policy php5 and show me the output

Usually the ensure is in the format like php5_5.4.9-4ubuntu2 without the .deb part

Hi and thanks for getting here so fast :)

This is what I got back:

vagrant@wp:~$ apt-cache policy php5
php5:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 5.3.10-1ubuntu3.11
  Version table:
     5.3.10-1ubuntu3.11 0

        500 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-security/main i386 Packages
     5.3.10-1ubuntu3 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/main i386 Packages

About the package: Still unable to locate the package

It seems my main problem is, that I can't figure out where I could retrieve a valid package from. Is this assumption correct?

[jippi]

then using ensure => '5.3.10-1ubuntu3.11' should work

[jippi]

else, you need apt-cache policy php5_5 or whatever the base package is called and modify accordingly

Thanks a lot for your help Christian.

This is how I (finally) did it: First, I added the puppetlabs/apt module to have a more convenient way to add the packages.

include apt, php, php::params

package { 'php5':
    ensure   => latest,
    provider => apt,
}
class { [ 'php::dev', 'php::cli' ]:
    ensure => installed
}
# Just to make sure 
exec { 'python-software-properties':
    command => 'apt-get install python-software-properties -y',
}
# Fetch the newest PHP 5.4.XX version
apt::ppa { 'ppa:ondrej/php5-oldstable': }
# Fetch the newest PHP 5.5.XX version
apt::ppa { 'ppa:ondrej/php5': }

# Set order
Class['Apache']
-> Class['Apt']
-> Exec['python-software-properties']
-> Class['Php::dev']
-> Class['Php::cli']

Again: Thanks a lot!

P.s.: For later readers: I first head apt-get update running before a new package gets installed. This resulted in having loads of problems with Apache files getting deleted, but not added. So better do it just once and don't do any of the following:

# Execute apt-update before any new package gets installed
# Currently deactivated as Apache got files deleted and crashed
# class { 'apt':
#   always_apt_update => true,
# }
# exec { 'apt-update':
#   command => '/usr/bin/apt-get update',
# }
# Exec['apt-update'] -> Package <| |>
