PHP 8.5.8 installation fails on Ubuntu 22.04 ARM64

RaspDev

Hello aaPanel team,

I am testing aaPanel on a Raspberry Pi / ARM64 environment with Ubuntu Server 22.04.5 LTS.
During the installation of PHP 8.5 using the official aaPanel internal app installer, the installation fails because the downloaded PHP 8.5.8 source archive appears to be incomplete or truncated.

Environment
OS: Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS
Architecture: aarch64 / ARM64
Kernel: Linux 5.15.0-1061-raspi
RAM: 3788 MB
CPU cores: 4

Command used:
bash install_soft.sh 4 install php 8.5

Problem
The aaPanel installer downloads this file:
https://cf1-node.aapanel.com/src/php-8.5.8.tar.gz
But the downloaded file size is only:
81906 bytes / about 80 KB

This seems far too small for a complete PHP 8.5.8 source archive.
The installation log shows:
--2026-07-07 16:32:16-- https://cf1-node.aapanel.com/src/php-8.5.8.tar.gz
HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 200 OK
Length: 81906 (80K) [application/octet-stream]
Saving to: ‘src.tar.gz’
src.tar.gz saved [81906/81906]

The archive starts extracting, but then fails:

php-8.5.8/
php-8.5.8/.circleci/
php-8.5.8/.github/
php-8.5.8/CODING_STANDARDS.md
php-8.5.8/CONTRIBUTING.md
php-8.5.8/EXTENSIONS
php-8.5.8/LICENSE
php-8.5.8/NEWS

gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file
tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

Then the PHP build fails because the extracted source tree is incomplete:
php.sh: line 1015: ./configure: No such file or directory
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
make: *** No rule to make target 'install'. Stop.

Final aaPanel error:
ERROR: php-8.5.8 install failed.
Please submit to https://www.aapanel.com/forum for help

Result after failed installation
After the failed installation, the PHP 8.5 directory only contains partial source files:
/www/server/php/85/src
/www/server/php/85/src.tar.gz

But the PHP binary, PHP-FPM service and socket are missing:
/www/server/php/85/bin/php missing
/tmp/php-cgi-85.sock missing
/etc/init.d/php-fpm-85 missing

So PHP 8.5 is not installed.
Verification commands
ls -la /www/server/php ls -la /www/server/php/85 test -x /www/server/php/85/bin/php && /www/server/php/85/bin/php -v || echo "PHP 8.5 binary missing" ls -la /tmp/php-cgi-85.sock 2>/dev/null || echo "PHP 8.5 socket missing" /etc/init.d/php-fpm-85 status 2>/dev/null || echo "php-fpm-85 service missing or stopped"

Output:
PHP 8.5 binary missing
PHP 8.5 socket missing
php-fpm-85 service missing or stopped

Expected behavior

The PHP 8.5.8 source archive should be complete and valid, and PHP 8.5 should install successfully through:
bash install_soft.sh 4 install php 8.5

Additional note
For comparison, the PHP 8.5.8 source archive downloaded from the official PHP GitHub release page is around 34 MB, while the file currently downloaded from the aaPanel mirror is only about 80 KB.

Could you please check this mirror file?
https://cf1-node.aapanel.com/src/php-8.5.8.tar.gz

It looks truncated or incomplete.
This issue currently prevents PHP 8.5 from being installed on Ubuntu 22.04 ARM64 / Raspberry Pi through aaPanel.
Thank you for your help.

Hello,

Thanks for your feedback, please try reinstalling

RaspDev

Thank you for your reply.

I retried the PHP 8.5 installation as suggested after your adjustment, but unfortunately the installation still fails on the same Raspberry Pi / Ubuntu 22.04 ARM64 environment.

The previous truncated PHP source archive issue seems to have changed, but the installation now fails later during the build process, while compiling curl 7.74.0.

Environment

OS: Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS
Architecture: aarch64 / ARM64
Kernel: Linux 5.15.0-1061-raspi
RAM: 3788 MB
CPU cores: 4

Command used:

bash install_soft.sh 4 install php 8.5

New error after retry

The installer now downloads curl successfully:

--2026-07-08 09:57:36-- https://cf1-node.aapanel.com/src/curl-7.74.0.tar.gz
HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 200 OK
Length: 4043409 (3.9M) [application/octet-stream]
Saving to: ‘curl-7.74.0.tar.gz’
2026-07-08 09:57:36 (14.7 MB/s) - ‘curl-7.74.0.tar.gz’ saved [4043409/4043409]

But the build fails during curl configuration with this error:

checking for libcares options with pkg-config... no
checking that c-ares is good and recent enough... no
configure: error: c-ares library defective or too old

Then the PHP installation fails:

========================================================
Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS
Bit:64 Mem:3788M Core:4 gcc:11.4.0 cmake:3.22.1
Linux 5.15.0-1061-raspi aarch64
ERROR: php-8.5.8 install failed.
Please submit to https://www.aapanel.com/forum for help

The aaPanel installer still ends with:

|-Successify --- Command executed! ---

But PHP 8.5 is not actually installed.

Verification after failure

The PHP 8.5 binary, PHP-FPM service and socket are still missing:

/www/server/php/85/bin/php missing
/tmp/php-cgi-85.sock missing
/etc/init.d/php-fpm-85 missing

Summary

After retrying the installation:

Previous issue:
php-8.5.8.tar.gz seemed truncated at about 80 KB
Current issue:
curl 7.74.0 build fails because c-ares is considered defective or too old

Could you please check the PHP 8.5.8 installation script for Ubuntu 22.04 ARM64 / Raspberry Pi, especially the curl / c-ares dependency handling?

It looks like PHP 8.5.8 still cannot be installed successfully through aaPanel on this platform.

Thank you for your help.

Try to install dependencies and then install PHP

apt update
apt install libc-ares-dev -y

Yes, that's fine, everything is working well
thanks for your help.
