I'm currently running e-smith 60b3 with the PHP version it came with of 4.1.2.
I'd like to install some blogging software, but it requires a newer version of PHP.
This brings me to my next question: Has anyone been successful at upgrading PHP on e-smith 60b3 and have all their old stuff like ClamAV, spamassasin and especially /webmail still work?
Is there a documented process or HOWTO that I can use to get PHP upgraded without having adverse affects on my system? Is there a backout plan included?
If you can help, please let me know, as any help would be greatly appreciated.

Your still running a beta!! Help yourself by upgrading to the latest release and upgrades. Then you can look at what else you need.

Zoran, psoran is right here,
please update to the latest stable release before considering updating individual packages.
If you wait a bit more, you maybe even can upgrade to the next 6.x release ;-)

Is there no other option then to upgrade the entire platform?
And if upgrading SME is my only option, what about all the extra packages I installed on B3? They will ned to be re-installed again?
See, the problem is that I have installed a number of additional add-ons and web applications that would take me weeks if not months to replace.
All I need is to upgrade PHP, surel there is a solution out there, isn't there?

Well, it's never a good idea to run a production server based upon beta code. Next to that it was clearly an unsupported version from a company that abandonned the product.
My advice is to upgrade to the latest available sable release (6.0.1.-01) and go from there. Almost every developer based it's contrib on this release, thus most chance of succes and compatibility.

Didn't you bother to do a search

I would also strongly suggest you update, the versions are very similar to each other and there should not be any significant problems, or even none at all !
The upgrade/install process should migrate all the applications & settings you have installed/configured.
Read the release notes to see what things changed if you are unsure.

As it turns out, my install isn't really Beta 3 since I've kept it up to date with the release patches. In the /server-manager, it shows itself as "Mitel Networks SME Server 6.0" and not 6.0 Beta 3.
Anyway, I used the Dan Brown RPMs and everything worked fine after the pear updates for Log and Date. Now when I access any of my old PHP apps like webmail, phpwcms, boastmachine, etc, they 'seem' to run faster. But then again, maybe I just 'want' them to. :-)
