All the others in my /etc/php5/cli/conf.d directory have the ';' comment.

Thanks this will be in maverick and will probably be backported to lucid.

it also affects php5-imagick (and maybe other modules...)

This bug also affects Mediawiki maintenance PHP scripts as well...

example:

AFAICT, the deprecated comment syntax isn't used upstream:

This fatal error is unrelated to the comment syntax.

This affects imap.ini and mcrypt.ini, too.

This is great, but how do I install this new source?

The following worked for me:

cd /etc/php5/cli/conf.d
sudo perl -pi.bk -e 's/(\s*)#/\1;/' *ini
sudo mkdir bk
sudo mv *.bk bk

Which only catches comments at the start of a line; also, backups of the original files are in the /etc/php5/cli/conf.d/bk directory.

I just went to that directory mcrypt.ini and deleted first line starting with # and everything is ok.

You should replace # with ; instead, in order to keep the comment.

Shouldn't this be backported to Lucid since that is a LTS?

Number 11 above worked for me, thanks Ogilvierothchild !

I just deleted the first line of /etc/php5/cli/conf.d/mcript.ini (Number 12). It worked.
Thanks Uros Djokic.

This should be backported to Lucid

Why not just change the comment?

I kept getting mail with a similar error (different file), so I did

sudo vim /etc/php5/cli/conf.d/ps.ini
and changed the
# comment
to
/** comment **/
and all seems good.

Tnx for the solution.

Plz backport this to 10.04 so it won't surface again on a new install.

+1 please backport to 10.04, so it doesn't appear on a new install

yea had bad comment in ming.ini

i'd say just quickly scan through your /etc/üjü5/cli/conf.d/

cat grep or whatever and replace with # with ;

+1

please backport to 12.04
