How do I upgrade to PHP 5

[gunter]

on my private debian server I had to install these packages in order to compile php5:
mysql-server-4.1
libbz2-dev
libxml2-dev
apache2-threaded-dev
libsybdb3
libcurl3-dev
libjpeg-mmx-dev
libpng3-dev
xlibs-dev
libfreetype6-dev
libt1-dev
libgd2-xpm-dev
libc-client-dev
libmhash-dev
libmysqlclient10-dev
libsnmp5-dev
freetds-dev

but that was a different configure command
For the php installation I mentioned before I didn't made a list.
The package names may vary on your system. One tip, if configure stops, then copy the error message into google an search for it. Propably you will find the name of the package which is missing.

I think im just going to wait until php 5.1 comes out, and pray that ART releases some RPMS.

Actually I did release php5 rpms a while back, but I havent really played around with them in the context of psa 7.5.3. As I recall the major issues were with webmail (squirrelmail and horde) not being able to compose messages.

I tried installing your RPMs and they got messed up.

All of the PSA config files are looking for that mod_apache2.c to see if php is enabled, which really isn't correct, it shoudl be looking for php...

Thanks gunter, that did the trick perfectly. I went ahead and made an updated version of red hat's php-5.0.4-10.src.rpm. Here is a link to the updated source rpm for anyone who wants it.
