>Very cute! "Upgrade Now!" It will work well with PHP newbies. Not!
If you are on Windoze, just download and run the installer or whatever you did last time that actually worked, as much as anything on Windoze works. If on Un*x: Download 4.2.2 from http://php.net and save it in /usr/src or where-ever you find convenient. cd to the directory where php-4.2.2.tar.gz lives. Untar it: tar -xzf php-4.2.2.tar.gz Copy the configure settings you used before: cp php-4.1.0/config.nice php-4.2.2 Move into the new PHP directory: cd php-4.2.2 Do the config.nice (it's what you used last time): ./config.nice Pay attention to the crap that scrolls by, if you can read that fast :-) Or, instead of just ./config.nice, use: ./config.nice 2&>1 > config.output & Then you can use: tail -f config.output to see what's happening as it goes (type control-C to quit tail), or less config.output after you come back from your coffee-break. Compile PHP: make (Maybe time for another coffee-break.) Install PHP: make install Stop Apache: *** /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl stop Start Apache: /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl start Confirm the new PHP is working by surfing to a file with: <?php phpinfo();?> in it. Remove that file phpinfo() file. Even for a newbie, this should probably take, like, a half hour? if everything goes well. Assuming a decently-powered box. If you're installing on a Pentium1 laptop or something, those coffee-breaks could turn into lunch and dinner breaks or something. *** There may be a better/different way to stop/start Apache on your server. Just make 100% sure you stopped it and started it again. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm I'm looking for a PRO QUALITY two-input sound card supported by Linux (any major distro).
