Topic: Upgrade to PHP 4.4

[andreslucena]

Hi!

I want to install a install a pear module (HTTP_WebDAV_Server-beta) but:

# pear install HTTP_WebDAV_Server-beta
pear/HTTP_WebDAV_Server requires PHP (version >= 4.4, version <= 6.0.0), installed version is 4.3.9
No valid packages found
install failed

So basically it says that I don't have the right PHP version, that I have the 4.3.9 and it needs 4.4 (only for a number!  ). The thing is, does anybody knows if there is any risk in upgrading? I mean, we've Horde and Kronolith and some others PHP apps and we don't want to loose them. (I know all the "no-risk-no-fun" stuff but I'm a coward )

SME-server version is 7.3

# php -v
PHP 4.3.9 (cgi) (built: Jul 16 2008 16:44:47)

Thank you!!

Yes first of all you would need all suitable RHEL 4 or CentOS RPMs. You will most likely not directly run into issues only when trying to update your machine, at least that is what happened to a lot of users who installed PHP5 on their SME Server 7.x and wanted to update to SME Server 7.4.
