At work we use the Centos Plus PHP RPMS on a couple of RHEL 4 boxes. And it has been working fine for months. Our install method was a little different. First, all the RHEL PHP packages were un installed, then the Centos Plus PHP packages were manually installed using 'rpm -ivh php-*' instead of using yum. Using the instructions below or manually running 'rpm -Uvh php-*' probably would of worked but the method we used I think limits most things that could have gone wrong in the upgrade. Chris

(Jeff? Chris?) http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/centosplus/Readme.txt I'm about to upgrade PHP 4 to PHP 5 on a CentOS 4.5 box and was curious if anyone had any problems before doing so (it's a dev/test box, so not the end of the world if something bad happens). >From the documentation: ------------------------- php-5.x.x-x.centos4 ------------------------- This is php-5 for CentOS-4. It replaces the php-4.3.9 that is currently in CentOS-4. In order to upgrade a current php-4 install, you must remove php-domxml first and then do: yum --enablerepo=centosplus upgrade php* or to do and install, use this command: yum --enablerepo=centosplus --exclude=php-domxml install php* (or install individually the files that you need) _______________________________________________ 909linux mailing list 909linux@909linux.org http://909linux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/909linux
