SOLVED [UPS-184] OPCache issue after recent EA4 update

[kdean]

I see CPANEL-29887 included in 84.0.4, but not in 82.0.17.

It will be coming to 82, right? I don't see why it would be left broken.

Or is it just being pushed to the test builds first rather than release.

Hi @kdean

v84 of cPanel is slated to go to RELEASE soon, it's already in CURRENT. Fixes like this are usually put into the next RELEASE candidate or EDGE version unless they warrant what's called a backport to a version that is no longer being developed. This case doesn't meet those criteria though.

One would have thought the version of ioncube would have just been handled as an Easy Apache update. Plus I figured since a release of 82 broke it, you would want to fix 82 before moving on from it. I don't always upgrade to the next version on day 1 since sometimes there's still issues, but I guess I'll have to go to 84 quicker. Word of advise. Don't knowingly leave things broken for a release version especially when it was recently broken. That's just wrong-headed thinking for a developer in my opinion.

To clarify, the release of cPanel/WHM v82 did not break ioncube or opcache, this is an upstream issue and unrelated to cPanel entirely. We have no control over the way these modules/extensions function nor do we develop or maintain them. We added the module that is fixed - tested it with the product and that's it.

On v84 of cPanel our internal PHP will be using the updated version of ioncube. To clarify further, there will be an EA4 update with ioncube 10.3.9 available but that isn't out yet and I believe we will update it around the same time we send v84 to RELEASE which is more than likely going to be happening this week.

Hello,

I am sorry for the delay on this but this issue was marked as resolved in the release of cPanel 84.0.4 and is referenced in the changelogs here: 84 Change Log - Change Logs - cPanel Documentation

It's under CPANEL-29887 for the update to the newer ioncube package though the UPS case is still open this should no longer be an issue if you're on the most current version:

• Fixed case CPANEL-29887: Update rpm.versions for cpanel-php-ioncube 10.3.9-1.cp1184.

Please let us know if you continue to experience issues with this.
