Topic: updating PHP help?

[amicheals]

Hi,

I am still new and I just got the server manager to work on my local network.  

I want to know if I can update php from the server-manager.  I am trying to install a crm application called vtiger and I need an updated php and mysql.  what are the exact steps I can take to update php and mySql.  O I have to be directly connected to the console or can I do it over the local network.

Thanks for your help
Amy

Hi Amy,

If you only just got the server-manager working, you probably don't know about using a secure shell (SSH) to administer your SME from a remote workstation, so you don't have to sit at your SME box.

To do this, you can use Putty  http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/

First you have to tell SME to let you in. To do this, go to the 'remote access' page in server-manager, and, in the Secure Shell Setings section, set

Secure Shell Access = Allow access only from local networks

Allow administrative command line access over secure shell = Yes

Allow secure shell access using standard passwords = Yes

Now you'll be able to connect to and administrate your SME box via the command line from anywhere on your LAN.

Simply double click on Putty, type in the ip of your SME box, and hit OK. You'll be prompted for a Username, so use either 'root' or 'admin' and enter your password. Note: logging in as admin will allow you to run through the initial configuration as you did when you installed SME for the first time.

As for the rest of your query, I can't be much help, though I have succesfully upgraded my PHP using scripts found on this forum.

Sorry if you knew any of this already  

All the best,

Andy
