[php-maint] Bug#677994: PHP5-FPM not reporting errors to web server (nginx)

[Ondřej Surý]

Package: php5-fpm
Version: 5.4.4-1
Severity: important
Tags: upstream

>From https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1014044 :

Since updating Ubuntu to 12.04, the included php version contains a bug
that causes errors to not be sent upstream to the web server. This error
is a regression from the version supplied with Ubuntu 11.10
(5.3.6-13ubuntu3.7 0).

Using php5-fpm version: 5.3.10-1ubuntu3.1

This bug has been reported and patched upstream, but has not yet been included in a release:
https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=61045

This bug makes running php5 in fastcgi mode on Ubuntu very problematic,
as errors are never reported to the nginx error.log, which impedes
debugging. This can be worked around by enabling an independent error
log in php.ini, but it would be much simpler for new users if this
worked out of the box.

[Note to myself]

This also applies to php 5.4.4 (will be fixed in 5.4.5), thus I am reporting this bug
in Debian as well (so I don't forget to fix it before the freeze).
