Topic: trouble upgrading php

I'm trying to upgrade php 4.03 to 4.04 so I can use gallery but am stymied:
Any feedback appreciated.

Graham, use this HowTo:

The problem here is that all of the PHP RPMs are interdependent.  You need to download them all into their own directory, and then rpm -Uvh * (or list each filename individually, but that's a major PITA).

I have had the same problem upgrading php. I can't seem to get past the dependancies, and have been following - step by step - the howto. are there any alternate howto's out there?

thanks,

steve

[Dan Brown]

It would really help if you said what the problem was...

[steve]

Sorry Dan, I was trying to imply that I had the same problem as above, however in my review of the situation perhaps I used i386 rpms instead of i686 rpms. I will re-do everything and follow up with any problems.  Many problems come from the confusion surrounding how phpnuke/postnuke are installed and operate which leaves the ball very much in my court however exciting the technology is.

thanks,

i386/i586/i686 shouldn't be causing these sorts of problems (though if you install i686 and your processor is i586, it may not run well, or at all).  If you're getting dependency errors installing the PHP upgrades, and you've downloaded all the RPMs and are trying to install them all at once, something's strange.

[steve]

I went through everything and have come to the point where i..

pico /etc/php.ini

....and I get the php.ini screen but it does not say "magic_quotes_gpc = on."

also, how do i create the test.php file? Should I just make one in notepad and transfer it over, or am I trying to fit the circle in the square hole?

Thanks for your patience!

I had the same problem but someone on icq was able to help me,

heres what he told me to do:

rpm -e --nodeps php-4.0.3pl1-1(this might not be the exact one)

then do rpm -e --nodeps for mod_php-4.0.3pl1-1 and the nother 3 dependencies.

now with php taken off, you can now do what you where trying to do before.

Lots of fiddling around has got me to this point any ideas?


error: php-imap-4.0.6-7.arvin.rh6.2.i586.rpm cannot be installed
error: failed dependencies:
        imlib2 is needed by php-imlib-4.0.6-7.arvin.rh6.2
        edb is needed by php-imlib-4.0.6-7.arvin.rh6.2
        libImlib2.so.1   is needed by php-imlib-4.0.6-7.arvin.rh6.2

[Dan Brown]

As to the problem with php-imap, sounds like a corrupted download; try downloading it again.  For php-imlib, you're on your own, but I'd try checking either elsewhere on rpms.arvin.dk or on rpmfind.net for the dependencies.
