Comment 54 for bug 1522422

my test report.

current dev version: Precise Ubuntu 12.04 LTS with php 5.3.10
xenial version: Daliy build xenial-desktop-amd64.iso 05-Feb-2016 08:06 1.4G

fresh install on VirtualBox 5.0.14 r105127
locale used: french
default parameters

hanged on automatic first reboot after system install....
restarted the Virtual Machine, then the system has boot correctly.
installed Guest Additions provided by virtualbox

# add-apt-repository ppa:php-ubuntu/php7.0
# apt-get update
# apt-get upgrade

# apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client
# apt-get install php-cli php
# apt-get install php-mysql php-mcrypt php-gd

optional:
# apt-get install php-tidy

I waste a lot of time for reasons that do not involve php.
mainly 2 points :
1) Porting mysql ini file:
 both table_cache and innodb_data_file_path parameter when defined prevent the MySQL server from starting!!!!
 - table_cache has been replaced by table_open_cache.
 - didn't found for innodb_data_file_path and commented it out!
 Half a day lost for this! I hope this post will help other people...
2) network interface names:
 eth0 is no more the name for the first interface.
 had to recode product licensing php code to deal with that.

php7 itself:

no much to say php7 is working like a charm!
- no pbs with phpMyAdmin-4.5.4.1
- my 105000+ php code lines application(*) just works fine as expected!
I cannot say anything about speed as I have no reference for a VM.

I hope my full week-end day of php7 testing will help to have it by default in xenial!

It's a new kind of CMS I develop on my free time. http://webportal.yakpro.com
I expect to deliver test versions later this year.
