Why PHP5 FPM is not available in default repositories

[aliweb]

Hi,

I tried to install PHP FPM on Debian 8 using `apt-get` but got message that package is not available. Upon searching I found the following article which talks about it:

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/ ... n-debian-8

It says:

These packages aren't available in the default repositories due to licensing issues, so we'll have to modify the repository sources to pull them in.

But I see that this package is available
https://packages.debian.org/jessie/php/php5-fpm

So if it is available, why you cannot install and why that article is saying there is some licensing issue?

Thanks

EDIT
By the way my sources are ftp.debian.org and security.debian.org (off the top of my head as I don't have access to VPS right now)

i happen to use debian jessie and nginx with php5-fpm, and i can tell you it IS in the repos and works.
so we need your sources, and also just run an extra

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

for us.

Strangely I tried it and now it worked. ٰ I don't know why it didn't work before. May be I was just writing php-fpm and not php5-fpm.

In fact I think I know what happened. When it didn't install before then as per article above I changed sources then ran `apt-get update` and it downloaded it. Then I ran this install command with php5-fpm but when it asks (Y/n) to install, I chose 'n'. Then later I changed sources back to debian ones so may be that's why I am able to install it now as it must have been downloaded/updated at that time.

Hmmm, head asplody.

That updated your package lists.

Then I ran this install command with php5-fpm but when it asks (Y/n) to install, I chose 'n'.

It didn't download if you chose "n".

Then later I changed sources back to debian ones so may be that's why I am able to install it now as it must have been downloaded/updated at that time.

It downloaded and installed when you ran the install command and answered "Y".
It's only a 2MB package so you may have blinked and missed it downloading.
