Topic: HELP!! Need to update PHP

[mrhutch]

Hello Folks...

I need to upgrade PHP on my 6.01 box..  Preferably to the latest version..  I have used plus.sh before and php is running 4.3.1, but I need to go to 5.1.X

ANYONE done this??  Where is the best place to get the RPM and the dependancies...

I'm a bit of a newbie, but played with sme server for years !!

TIA

Hutch

[well_fans]

would be a wild guess but do php4 and 5 co-exist happily on a server? I'd suggest those errors look like they dont and you may need to uninstall the v4 rpms before installing v5. Like I say its a bit of a guess but could be worth investigating.

IOW, to upgrade the RPM, rather than install it.

[mrhutch]

I did attempt an upgrade (-Uvh ) ..

Should I uninstall php4 first??  and how do I do this !!

Hi!

PHP4 and PHP5 will not co-exist, I think it's safest to uninstall PHP4 first.

OBS!!! Make sure you've made backups for any critical data/application...

Find out which PHP RPMS you've got install
#rpm -qa|grep php-

Uninstall PHP RPMS with (OBS!!! --nodeps option will be required since horde & co will have php dependency)
# php -e --nodeps php php-imap php-ldap php-mysql php-extension

After that follow the howto and it should work fine. Good luck...
