Is SimpleSAMLphp 1.13.2 compatible with PHP5.6

[Gilbert Thera]

Hi there,

We've been using SimpleSAMLphp for quite some time now under PHP5.5. And last Saturday we updated to PHP5.6 and since the update we get the NOSTATE error.
We're running Nginx, PHP5.6 and use memcache for the sessions.And I checked: memcache is running (and actually has simpleSAMLphp session items).

After we downgraded to PHP5.5 everything worked again. So hence the question: is SimpleSAMLphp combatible with PHP5.6 or am I overlooking something?


Kind regards,

Gilbert

Hi Gilbert,

We haven’t tested, so PHP 5.6 is not officially supported (which doesn’t mean it won’t work). Taking a look at the backward incompatible changes in 5.6, I don’t see anything that should break SimpleSAMLphp. Not directly at least.

I assume you problem could be more related to nginx than PHP 5.6, but without any other information (web server’s error logs, SimpleSAMLphp logs in debug mode, etc), I can’t tell you anything else.

For the record, I'm running simpleSAMLphp on PHP 5.6 without problems.

Thank you for your reply. 

We didn't had any entries in our webserver's error log and the only error we get in the SimpleSAMLphp is regarding the NO STATE error (see attached file). I do think that the problem lies more in the nginx combination with PHP than just PHP. And since Thijs doesn't have any problems we will focus more on that then. 

Again thank you. 

Kind regards, 

Gilbert

Hi,

Hereby I also post our nginx config re simplesamlphp.

        location ^~ /simplesaml {
                alias /var/base/simplesaml/www;
                location ~ ^(?<prefix>/simplesaml)(?<phpfile>.+?\.php)(?<pathinfo>/.*)?$ {
                        include fastcgi_params;
                        fastcgi_pass php;
                        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$phpfile;
                        fastcgi_param PATH_INFO       $pathinfo if_not_empty;
                        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_NAME     $fastcgi_script_name;
                }
        }

Really hope that someone could help us further.

Kind regards,
