Frequently Asked Questions
1
Why did the PHP update check return no available packages?
BaseOS and AppStream, the repositories that could provide PHP updates, were disabled. An empty result from dnf check-update only reflected the repositories visible to DNF and did not establish that the installed PHP version was current or fixed.
2
Was a vendor-provided fix for the installed PHP stream confirmed?
No. The review did not verify Red Hat advisories for the php:8.0 stream, so it was not determined whether a fix was available from that source.
3
What checks were performed before moving to another PHP stream?
A dry-run update was used to confirm that PHP 8.3.36 would be selected, dependencies resolved successfully, and no Zabbix or other core packages would be removed. Zabbix 7.0.29 was identified as supporting PHP 8.3.
