How do I update MySQL & PHP?

[Zoke]

I know the question has been asked quite a few times already and haven't really found the answer yet. I use RH9 and use up2date, not Yum. How do I change up2date to use the atomic packages or which command should I use to install Yum is that's better to use to update these packages with?

I found this thread helpful:
http://forum.swsoft.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=32201
But could anyone explain how to install Yum (is it an rpm command?) or how to change up2date so it will update the atomic packages? Thanks

 

[Zoke]

I found this:

# up2date users (RHEL3/4)
# For up2date configurations modify /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources file, replacing CHANGEME with 3ES for RHEL3 or 4ES for RHEL4 systems.

But nothing for RH9 users.




And I found this, which I will give a try:

Check this link for the how-to install and download yum for RH9.

Yeah, I just linked it too, thanks though. I have this as /etc/yum.conf:

[main]
cachedir=/var/cache/yum
debuglevel=2
logfile=/var/log/yum.log
pkgpolicy=newest
distroverpkg=redhat-release
tolerant=1

[psa-6.0]
name=Atomic Rocket Turtle - $releasever - SW-Soft PSA 6.0 RPMS
baseurl=http://3es.atomicrocketturtle.com/atomic/psa-6.0/$releasever/

and it gives this error message when I type "yum update":

Any ideas? Do I need Plesk 7 at least for this?

with yum -d 6 update I get this error:

Seems like I need to update plesk 6 to 7.5.4 to get it to work?

 

[breun]

Yes, you need at least Plesk 7.5.4 for MySQL 4.1 support.

 

[Zoke]

Thanks. How do I look up whether my License allows me to upgrade to this version without losing my key? I'm testing it on my vmware system now which has no license, everything is going ok so far, except for the license thing which I can't test.

 

[breun]

Ask the people from who you obtained your key. My guess is you'll need to upgrade your license, but I've never used Plesk 6.

 

[Zoke]

I've updated Plesk to 7.5.4 and when I try to load "yum update" it will always break my vmware system. Just doing "yum update php" without all the other updates already breaks apache. This is my yum.conf:

[base]
name=Red Hat Linux $releasever - $basearch - Base
baseurl=http://download.fedoralegacy.org/redhat/$releasever/os/$basearch
gpgcheck=1

[updates]
name=Red Hat Linux $releasever - $basearch - updates
baseurl=http://download.fedoralegacy.org/redhat/$releasever/updates/$basearch
gpgcheck=1
enabled=0

[atomic]
name=Atomic Rocket Turtle - $releasever - Atomic PSA-Compatible RPMS
baseurl=http://3es.atomicrocketturtle.com/atomic/art/$releasever/
gpgcheck=1

[atomic-app-vault]
name=Atomic Rocket Turtle - $releasever - Atomic PSA App Vault RPMS
baseurl=http://3es.atomicrocketturtle.com/atomic/app-vault/
gpgcheck=1

[psa-7.5]
name=Atomic Rocket Turtle - $releasever - SW-Soft PSA 7.5 RPMS
baseurl=http://3es.atomicrocketturtle.com/atomic/psa-7.5/$releasever/
gpgcheck=1

(tried with enabled=1 too but no difference)

I can get apache fixed by renaming /etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf.rpmnew to /etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf and /etc/php.ini.rpmnew to /etc/php.ini and doing "yum update curl".

First, why wouldn't it find curl as depency when updating php? And, is there any way to prevent these rpnnew files and have it backup the old ones to replace it with the new file? Also, apache will load after this but php pages will just show up as code so it's not actually fixed.

 

[breun]

Read http://www.atomicrocketturtle.com/Joomla/content/view/141/29/ if you're going to upgrade to ART's PHP 5 packages.

 

[Zoke]

I get the same result when I do everything listed on this page.

yum remove php-manual (wasn't installed)
yum upgrade
yum install php-gd

mv /etc/php.ini /etc/php.ini.v4
mv /etc/php.ini.rpmnew /etc/php.ini
mv /etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf /etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf.v4
mv /etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf.rpmnew /etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf

Apache starts but it won't actually process PHP pages, it will just show the code.

 

[Zoke]

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

This gives an empty page, if that helps any. So pages are processed, kind of. Does anyone have any suggestions?

 

[Zoke]

in this new php.conf "/etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf" this line needs to be changed/added to get it working:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml

edit: nevermind, it's working.
