Support för Sierra

[olofbokedal]

Yolo etc, so I've upgraded to Sierra without knowing anything prior.

After the upgrade, I ran brew doctor to get some clues about the status. It led me to:

• Fix the permissions of /usr/local
• Update XQuarts
• Fixed my PATH

I also ran xcode-select --install just to make sure that I got the latest version of command line tools. Which I didn't.

I then ran brew update which told me to change ownership of /usr/local once again, so I did. Then finally brew upgrade which took some time to execute.

Nothing strange going on so far, but I noticed that my ~/.profile wasn't being read, so I moved the contents of that file to ~/.bash_profile in order to include everything needed by Odd Environment. Now oddenv worked and changed the contents of some files.

Everything seems to be working except for Apache. I tried to start it manually by apachectl, but it says:

httpd: Syntax error on line 121 of /private/etc/apache2/httpd.conf: Cannot load /usr/local/opt/php55/libexec/apache2/libphp5.so into server: dlopen(/usr/local/opt/php55/libexec/apache2/libphp5.so, 10): image not found

so I guess there's a problem with PHP.

To be continued...

With the release of macOS Sierra the Apache module is now not built by default. If you want to build it on your system you have to install php with the --with-apache option. See brew options php55 for more details.

might be relevant...

Added with-apache to the brewfile, but php55 can't be installed due to

Error: Permission denied - /usr/local/var/log/apache2/access_log

[olofbokedal]

Fixed the permissions, but now I'm getting

Sorry, I cannot run apxs.  Possible reasons follow:

1. Perl is not installed
2. apxs was not found. Try to pass the path using --with-apxs2=/path/to/apxs
3. Apache was not built using --enable-so (the apxs usage page is displayed)

The output of /usr/sbin/apxs follows:
apxs:Error: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/OSX10.12.xctoolchain/usr/local/bin/apr-1-config not found!.

Found some helpful stuff in https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-php/issues/3283#issuecomment-239678929.

sudo mkdir -p /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/OSX10.12.xctoolchain/usr/local/bin/
sudo ln -s /usr/local/opt/apr/bin/apr-1-config /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/OSX10.12.xctoolchain/usr/local/bin/
sudo ln -s /usr/local/opt/apr-util/bin/apu-1-config /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/OSX10.12.xctoolchain/usr/local/bin/

got it working. But Homebrew failed to link php55 since /usr/local/opt/php55 wasn't empty, so I simply sudo rm -r /usr/local/opt/php55 and re-installed php55 once again.

[olofbokedal]

Everything seems to be working no, so to summarize the steps required:

$ brew uninstall php55
$ sudo rm -r /usr/local/opt/php55
$ sudo mkdir -p /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/OSX10.12.xctoolchain/usr/local/bin/
$ sudo ln -s /usr/local/opt/apr/bin/apr-1-config /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/OSX10.12.xctoolchain/usr/local/bin/
$ sudo ln -s /usr/local/opt/apr-util/bin/apu-1-config /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/OSX10.12.xctoolchain/usr/local/bin/
$ oddenv

We COULD include line 3-5 in the PHP puppet, but I don't think we should since I don't really understand why it's necessary. Hopefully it won't be in the future.

I'll leave this issue open for further discussions.

You should no longer need to modify any of this and php should install out of the box. There are still a few issues with the bottles due to a bug in brew so they need to be rebuilt (for 7.0 at least) If you need to apache module that is no longer the default and you need to put in the additional option --with-apache to make it compile the module.
