Php 4.4.4

[marco114]

Is there an easy way to upgrade to PHP 4.4.4? I have several customers requesting. I am running Plesk 8.1 on CentOS 4.4.

I found these on Cheetaweb:
http://mirror.cheetaweb.com/redhat/4ES/i386/RPMS.cheeta/

However, how do I download all of them in one shot and then install?

Do I have to do a wget on everyone of the files or is there a fancy wildcard statement I can use?

Thanks
Marc

Hello,


It is better to recompile php(maybe increase the FD_SETSIZE).
Get a src.rpm and rebuild it with rpmbuild.
Otherwise you may need to get all the files from there one by one.

You also could use yum if you configure it to use that mirror.

Sorry, I'm not the greatest Linux guru, that's why I'm using Plesk in the first place.. lol.

I've tried from source before and had lots of problems, prob because i didn't know what I was doing and I don't want to mess up Plesk. By default, Plesk's PHP is configured with a lot of options.

Would be nice if Plesk would just update these for us. I see in their build notes that 8.1 includes 4.4.4, so why can't it just update?

How can I conf yum to use that mirror? I tried this:

# yum update php --enablerepo=http://mirror.cheetaweb.com/redhat/4ES/i386/RPMS.cheeta/

It said the repository was not found. Sorry for being such a NEWB!

Hey,

Here is what I found on the web.

Try it as follows:

wget http://dragon.linux-vs.org/~wensong/packages/mysql-php/php-4.4.4-1.src.rpm

rpmbuild --rebuild php-4.4.4-1.src.rpm

If it gives dependencies(probably some devel packages ) use yum and retry

It will write the compiled packages in /usr/src/redhat.... somewhere.You will be notified by the rpmbuld at the end of the compilation.
