Cannot install php (5.6.19) on Centos 7x

[jeff1evesque]

I'm unable to install php version 5.6.19, using the following class definition, within my Centos 7x environment:

class { 'php':
  version => '5.6.19',
}

Since I'm using puppet to provision my vagrant instance of centos 7x, I've reduced the above thought to the following configure_php.pp definition:

# variables
$working_dir = '/home/provisioner'

## define $PATH for all execs
Exec {path => ['/usr/bin/', '/usr/sbin/']}

## update yum using the added EPEL repository
class update_yum {
    exec { 'update-yum':
        command => 'yum -y update',
        timeout => 750,
    }
}

## install php
class install_php {
    ## set dependency
    require update_yum

    ## install php
    class { 'php': }
}

## constructor
class constructor {
    ## set dependency
    contain update_yum
    contain install_php
}
include constructor

When I run the above manifest, within my vagrant implementation:

[provisioner@drupal-demonstration ~]$ vagrant up
...
==> default: Running provisioner: puppet...
==> default: Running Puppet with environment development...
==> default: Error: Evaluation Error: Unknown function: 'params_lookup'. at /tmp
/vagrant-puppet/modules-3caf511b1ed192516806c35da44e64ef/php/manifests/init.pp:1
52:26 on node drupal-demonstration.com
The SSH command responded with a non-zero exit status. Vagrant
assumes that this means the command failed. The output for this command
should be in the log above. Please read the output to determine what
went wrong.

In an attempt reduce the debug time, I implemented the same test, within the terminal console:

[provisioner@drupal-demonstration ~]$ cd ~

The following was my install_php.pp defintion:

## install php
class install_php {
    class { 'php': }
}
contain install_php

[jeff1evesque]

Forgot to mention that I've already installed the example42/puppi dependency:

[provisioner@drupal-demonstration ~]$ puppet module install example42-puppi
Notice: Preparing to install into /home/provisioner/.puppetlabs/etc/code/modules

Notice: Module example42-puppi 2.1.12 is already installed.

[jeff1evesque]

To correspond to the earlier traceback error:

Error: Could not find dependent Service[httpd] for File[php.conf] at /home/provi
sioner/.puppetlabs/etc/code/modules/php/manifests/init.pp:258

I adjusted the install_php.pp:

## variables: non-ssl
$port = '80'

## variables: ssl
$ssl_dir       = '/etc/ssl/httpd'
$port_ssl      = '443'

    ## install apache, without default vhost
    class { 'apache':

    }

    ## enable 'mod_headers'
    class { 'apache::mod::headers': }

    ## allow port 443 to serve webpage
    apache::listen { '443': }

    apache::vhost { "${vhost_name}_ssl":

        directories => [

                allow_override   => 'None',
                require         => 'all denied',
            },
            {

    ## install php

However, I still was not able to install php 5.6.19, on centos 7x:

I adjusted install_php.pp, to not install a specific php version (5.6.19), and install the default version:

Although, no errors were present within the above traceback, the overall goal was to install php 5.6.19, not 5.4.16.

[alvagante]

So, the version you specify must be available in your repos.
The executed command is /bin/yum -d 0 -e 0 -y install php-5.6.19, so I suppose that version is not actually available via yum.

[jeff1evesque]

@alvagante, should this repository have corresponding logic that attempts to download the corresponding packages, before installing them? Or, is that responsibility something that I must remediate?

[alvagante]

Well the module doesn't go as far.
It supports installation only via native package managers and doesn't manage eventual additional repos.
So what you can do is to provide the repos you need in your wrapper class and then specify an existing version in the repo.
