How do you do to install Drupal 11 on debian?

In extend to my previous post :https://lemmy.ml/post/22320175

I cannot install drupal 11 on a fresh Debian install, in fact I tried everything and it's no more the fault of proxmox, but the PHP installation.

Drupal 11 needs php 8.3 to work, but Debian official repos go only to php 8.2, so I used the sury.org Debian repo to install the latest PHP version. And this is the start of the problem, this install gives me the error shown in the other post, exhausted memory.

I search in the info.php, memory related stuff, and the only difference between the "official" PHP (8.2) and sury one is that in the mysqldn section it shows statistics to yes. But I don't know how to disable it...

Any ideas? Thanks 😉

I wanted to recommend using a Docker container but I ran into the same issue with the default config for "drupal:10-apache" (aka "drupal:10.3.7-apache-bookworm"). Opening "node/add/article" results in the OOM error. Downgrading to "drupal:10.3.6-apache-bookworm" resolved the issue. Looks like a Drupal regression to me. Maybe you can also try an older version of Drupal 11?
- So you think it's the fault of drupal 11, not the PHP repo?
  
  Yes, the docker images don't use the sury.org php packages (they use the php docker image).
- Gonna try it
- "11.0.5-apache-bookworm" also seems to work, maybe you can try that version?
  
  Try this version (not in docker) and it works like a charm, maybe i'm gonna stuck to it and then upgrade when the 11.0.7 will come out 😃
Did the 8.3 replace official repo 8.2 or does it use different naming for php binaries? The config files might be separate too.

Try using phpinfo() to check your working config. You can just place a file with the function in the root of your webserver and it should work.

It seems like the memory allowance is too low for drupal to load.
- In fact when using PHP from sury.org the PHP 8.3 is available in addition to PHP 8.2. When using the phpinfo() and comparing the two PHP versions the only difference related a bit to memory are the statistics that are turned on. Nothing really more
Is there a reason for creating a new thread? For example have you stopped trying to use proxmox or other virtual environments to get it working?
- This is why I made a new thread because the error is not coming from anything else than the php repo of sury.org, no more a "self-hosted" or Linux proxmox issue.
  
  EDIT : tried the same install in KVM and on my desktop, it's not working. Tried Debian 10 with official PHP and it's working
  
  So just to be clear, you're trying to install Drupal 11 on your system OS which is Debian?
