Title: Latest version of MySQL and PHP
Post by: calisun on April 01, 2011, 08:52:31 AM

Current version of SME Server uses PHP v. 4.3.9 and MySQL v. 4.1.22

I have just read that the upcoming version of Wordpress 3.2 will no longer support these old versions. It will require: PHP version 5.2. and MySQL version 5.0.15

I know that SME has a work around for PHP by installing PHP5-cgi , but what about MySQL? Is there a work around for it?

calisun: your question has been posted so many times that I'm sure you'd get any info using search link above..

anyway:

Code: [Select]

yum --enablerepo=centosplus --exclude=perl* update mysql php

will do the trick.. NOT the last version available for mysql/php

please be prepared to have some issues when updating your server via yum

Indeed. Installing any rpm from centosplus is quite likely to cause problems when you later attempt to upgrade the server.

ugh...  That is what I thought, that it might cause problems when upgrading later to SME8.

Gosh, I really hope SME8 stable will come out soon, I am really being held back with my web project based on SME powered web server because of outdated PHP and SQL.

Thanks for your reply.

You can help, by going to the bug tracker, and looking for bugs which are resolved, but not yet verified. Then you can verify that the problem is fixed.

I am not a programmer, so I can't do complex stuff, but I will try my best.

You don't need to be. You just need to reproduce the problem, then install the update, and then show whether the problem is fixed or not fixed.
