Ok, I ran an experiment. I installed my dusty RaspberryPi with a fresh version of Raspbian. Then installed apache2, libapache2-mod-php5, and php5. Cloned the latest version of your web frontend, and bingo… it works!
Now I’m trying to figure out the differences as to why one works and the other does not.
Working Setup:
Hardware: RaspberryPi Model B (With Ethernet)
OS: Raspbian (2013-09-25) with all current updates and kernel/firmware
Software:
os-frontend commit 2c8c7e2e3ef21e8b78b7c2f678b719eabd725a61
apache2 2.2.22-13
libapache2-mod-php5 5.4.4-14+deb7u5
php5 5.4.4-14+deb7u5
git 1.7.10.4-1+wheezy1+rpi2
Broken Setup:
Hardware: Pogoplug v2
OS: Archlinux 3.1.10-28-ARCH
Software:
os-frontend commit 2c8c7e2e3ef21e8b78b7c2f678b719eabd725a61
apache2 2.2.25-1
libapache2-mod-php5 5.5.5-1
php5 5.5.5-1
git 1.8.4.2-1
The only obvious outliers are the newer version of apache and PHP. When I first installed Archlinux, the versions were:
apache2 2.2.24-3
libapache2-mod-php5 5.4.16-1
php5 5.4.16-1
The jump in apache versions is minor and shouldn’t impact functionality. The upgrade to PHP and the Apache PHP library from 5.4 to 5.5 may be an issue.
Is it possible to look into PHP 5.5 compatibility? Are there any logs from apache that may point to a possible compatibility issue?
In the mean time, I will try downgrading PHP and the Apache lib to 5.4 to see if that “fixes” things.
