[Bug 1571534] [NEW] PHP Fatal error in zabbix-frontend-php

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

[Impact]

 * zabbix PHP fronted fails to load after installation (zabbix-frontend-
php) due to fatal errors with loading mbstring (and then others follow
if that is fixed manually).

[Test Case]

`apt-get install zabbix-server-mysql zabbix-frontend-php`

Then follow

/usr/share/doc/zabbix-server-mysql/README.Debian

to populate the database.

Then follow

/usr/share/doc/zabbix-frontend-php/README.Debian

to configure the fronted. This document specifically mentions needing to
install an appropriate DB driver (e.g., php-mysql to use MySQL).

Attempt to proceed through all the screens at http://<ip of
container>/zabbix/setup.php, which will throw PHP errors if not fixed.

[Regression Potential]

 * The version of the web frontend for zabbix in 16.04 does not
currently work at all. This update backports an upstream fix for a ini-
variable removal, and then updates the packaging to properly list
dependencies. The risk of regression is very low from these changes.


16.04 after php5->php7.0 I have blank page in frontend and php fatal error in apache2/error.log:
