Ubuntu 18.04 LTS release

I test drove beta 2 of Ubuntu 18.04 LTS this evening, which is set to arrive later this month. Ubuntu typically has a strong following in the web server market (as I write this, it’s about 14% market share across all know OSes) market, and I was curious what versions of key libraries will be included from the get-go.

Key points:

  • PHP 7.2
  • Apache 2.4
  • MySQL Server 5.7
  • …on a Linux 4.15 kernel

Here are diagnostics from Textpattern 4.7.0-beta.3 (I used Percona instead of MySQL to get Textpattern going) if you’re interested:

.htaccess file contents: 
------------------------
# BEGIN Textpattern
#DirectoryIndex index.php index.html

#Options +FollowSymLinks
#Options -Indexes
#ErrorDocument 403 default

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    #RewriteBase /relative/web/path/

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
    RewriteRule ^(.+) - [PT,L]

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !=/favicon.ico
    RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php

    RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization}  !^$
    RewriteRule .* - [E=REMOTE_USER:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
</IfModule>

<IfModule mod_mime.c>
    AddType image/svg+xml  svg svgz
    AddEncoding gzip       svgz
</IfModule>
# END Textpattern

------------------------

This is beta 2 of the server OS, and so things may change before the final release, but embracing PHP 7.2 from the start line is a big deal. Interesting times ahead.

For what it’s worth, Textpattern on PHP7.2 and MySQL 5.6 seemed to work A-OK!
