    Ubuntu 16.04.1, PHP7 seems to work - any known issues?

    I've done a build from source install of 3.0.4 on a fresh Ubuntu 16.04.1, using PHP7.0 and Postgresql 9.5. I had to make a few minor changes in my dependencies (I had a lot of explicit "PHP5" in there), but generally speaking it just seems to work.

    Unfortunately I don't have a significant environment to test in, this is just at home. I can get a hyper-v at a largish site but virtually every server has snmp restricted to the existing zabbix server IP. Painful to set up another. So "work" means "so long as I'm pretty much doing nothing".

    So while I exercise this in a small environment.... any things people are having trouble with? I know it is not supported... but there seems very little discussion about it. Is that because it just works? Or that people are being reticent to test until full support? (Hoping for the former).

    I'm thinking of upgrading the production site, as it is not really in production (it is working and monitoring but no one has been trained on it, and won't notice if it is down for a while). Might as well get on the latest and greatest, if it's reasonably stable, before it starts being used, so it can have a longer period before the next major platform upgrade.

    Oh... Netdisco (via plack) and rancid (ViewVC) also seemed to come up without issue on it.

    We definitely fall into the second camp of "reticent to test until full support". Interesting that you have it running with php 7 though.

    Wanted to be sure you saw this:
    [Impact] * The zabbix web frontend has one incompatibility and some missing dependencies with PHP7.0. * End-users are unable to use the web-frontend due to these issues. [Test Case] * Install zabbix-frontend-php. Without the fix, the frontend will not load properly. With the fix, it will. [Regression Potential] * The code change is identical to the upstream change; given that the frontend won't load with the code as-is, I believe there is no regression potential there. * The depen...

      I saw that, thanks.

      I haven't seen any issues so far, though still running it on a play VM and not anything with volume (but frankly I don't expect volume to affect it much since most of that is server side not GUI).
