@Atroskelis Thank you for your submission. Have you tested this with the LibreNMS procedure? This document was written some time ago, when RL 8 was the only Rocky Linux available. It was reviewed when 9 came out and some changes made, HOWEVER, the version of PHP at the time on RL 9, was 8.0 and 8.1 was not available. A quick check shows that this is still the case. The REMI repository was used to allow PHP 8.1, the minimum supported for LibreNMS. If you have not tested your changes on this procedure, then I'll need to close this PR. Let me know what you've done! Thank you again!

It does appear (in RL 9) that PHP 8.1 is available as a module stream. The official documentation (the link shared above) has not been updated in some time, so it is possible that-with RL 9 at least-your changes would be OK. Provided you've tested them in the procedure, but you would still need to enable the module, which I don't see in your PR changes.

@sspencerwire The documentation was fixed with the official librenms documentation as a reference.

But the initial interest came today when i had a fresh Rocky 9 and wanted to install librenms and stumbled upon the broken rocky documenation, as half of it was using the dnf module thus replacing the command php81 with php and half was not. Thus the changes made.

From what i could guess it does seem that the Rocky9 Appsteam has php 8.1 and php 8.2.

Alas, it would still require fixing the documentation, and with this PR it makes it functional.

If you desire, the next time i change it, it will feature the native appstream package.

Hi again @Atroskelis,
I just paged through the Rocky Linux documentation and I can't see where it is broken. It does not reference the newer PHP modules available in 9x, which is true. (Again, it was originally written for 8), but there is nothing that I can see that references anything other than the REMI php paths. So while the procedure is not perfect, it should work. So I'm trying to see what is broken. If you can point me to that, that would be great.
If you installed LibreNMS using different paths and procedures, having the entire procedure is helpful in editing the document. Changing the paths without changing the installation procedure for newer PHP from Appstream, would in my view, break the procedure entirely.
I guess what I'm saying is that if you are proposing these fixes, propose a few more to fix the PHP module install too.
Thank you!

Hello,

I shall try to explain

At the moment the Rocky librenms install docs uses the dnf to replace the default php install with the remi install. Initially the whole documentation used the php81 module which replaces all paths/executables/etc with php81 instead of php.

This means that the remi install will replace all php aspects.
Now, half of the documentation uses php paths and half uses php81 paths, hence this PR. If you use the dnf module to install basic php you do not have this path below.

Comparing to the official Librenms Install docs, which has thus:

I'm sorry @Atroskelis, I don't see the "half" that uses anything. In fact, all I see is REMI php paths. I do not have an install of this at the moment to verify, so here's what I'm going to do: I'll merge this PR as is. At my earliest convenience, I'll roll a new install of LibreNMS using the changed instructions. Just these changes that you've put forward. If I can install step-by-step as an end user would AND the paths for the files are as you say, no harm, then I will concede that you are correct and something must have been wrong with my original instructions. I'm getting ready to head out of town for 4 days, and I don't want this sitting here languishing. Thank you again for your efforts!
