[Loris-dev] CentOS 8 and Loris

Hi Julie,
CentOS is no longer supported (by which I mean the operating system itself
has been discontinued, not the LORIS support for it.) The MCIN production
servers currently run on CentOS7 which is why the installation procedure is
well documented/tested for that system, but given the discontinuation of
CentOS the plan is to move our production servers off of CentOS entirely.
It's worth noting that CentOS 8 EOL is 2021, while CentOS 7 EOL is 2024.
This is the reason why our documentation is tailored to V7.
We don't have much experience running LORIS under php-fpm, which is why
there's no documentation for that environment. At one point years ago I had
written a configuration file in order to use it in Travis CI, but since
then testing/development has moved towards using Docker and the built-in
PHP web server (I just looked at that configuration file and it's so old it
refers to php5..). mod_php is currently the only supported/documented PHP
environment as it's all most of the LORIS developers have experience with
(though I also regularly develop with the php built in dev server, so I'm
confident that that works as well.)
The good news is our dependency on apache/mod_php is much weaker than it
was when I had worked on it years ago, but the bad news is there's no
written documentation that I'm aware of.
If you're willing to do the work of debugging the environment we can help
where we can, but if you're trying to get a system up and quickly it's
likely faster and easier to use something that we have more experience
with. For reference, I don't think the php_value setting you're trying to
set should be required anywhere by LORIS. LORIS uses an autoloader for
class/include resolution and shouldn't depend on the PHP include_path. If
you're set on php-fpm you can look at docs/config/apache2-fastcgi as a
starting point, but note that that configuration is from 2014 (which as far
as I know is the last time anyone tried to use LORIS in that environment.)
P.S. (Forgive me if I'm slow to respond to any emails as I'm on vacation
until next week..)
