Package: php8.4-fpm
Version: 8.4.23-1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
After updating to the latest php8.4-fpm package I noticed none of my PHP sites
were working. After investigating I found the /run/php/php-fpm.sock link was
missing. Instead only the actual `/run/php/php8.4-fpm.sock` socket exists.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
If I run `sudo update-alternatives --auto php-fpm.sock`, then it recreates the
php-fpm.sock link and all the PHP sites start working again. When I run it it
prints this:
> update-alternatives: warning: forcing reinstallation of alternative
> /run/php/php8.4-fpm.sock because link group php-fpm.sock is broken
This keeps working for the rest of the machine's uptime. However, when it
reboots the link is missing again. This means each reboot I have to do
something manual to get my sites running.
I think the old package did something with the alternative in the systemd
.service file so that it always worked automatically.
Thanks,
David
