[ggillon]

How can I install php 5.2 or 5.1 on a plesk 8.2 server ... I'm a complete noob ... so i really need a step by step stuf

If you don't mention what distribution and version you're running I don't think a lot of people will be able to help you.

I Just did a fresh install of PLesk 8.2.1 on my CentOS5-Server

Now, I have as php version 5.1.6, how can i upgrade this to 5.2.4 without breaking the stuff?

I know there is atomicrocketturtle, but some guidance on this specific platform would be appreciated...

 

[breun]

Is there any specific reason you need PHP 5.2? If not, I'd just stay with the distibution's own packages.

 

[rubencausyn]

yes there is, i need some functions of php which only work in 5.2.x

Otherwise I would leave it like it is, but I need 5.2

 

[breun]

Well, it's pretty easy to enable Atomic Rocket Turtle's atomic yum channel using his installer:

wget -q -O - [url]http://www.atomicorp.com/installers/atomic.sh[/url] | sh

After that you'll be able to upgrade to PHP 5.2 using yum.

For more ART related questions there's also ART's forum.

worked like a charm!

***update. fixed by installing

python-elementtree
python-sqlite
python-urlgrabber

anyone run into this on a virtuozzo vps when using art

-bash-3.1# yum
There was a problem importing one of the Python modules
required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was:

/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/cElementTree.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32

Please install a package which provides this module, or
verify that the module is installed correctly.

It's possible that the above module doesn't match the
current version of Python, which is:
2.4.3 (#1, Oct 23 2006, 14:19:45)
[GCC 4.1.1 20060525 (Red Hat 4.1.1-1)]

what distro and cpu architecture are you on?

You should not have to do any of that, the atomic installer should be doing that for you. Is there any chance you had yum or some other components already installed, or modified from source on that system?

redhat enterprise 4 as on virtuozzo, i386

yum was not installed beforehand, usually have to install python with yum also.

Yeah same here, I rolled that up into the atomic script. It was just too annoying running that down all the time. I have a routine in there that tries to figure out what packages are missing, heres the whole list (from atomic.sh):

RHEL4:
YUMDEPS="python-elementtree python-sqlite python-urlgrabber yum sqlite"

RHEL5:
YUMDEPS="python-elementtree python-sqlite python-urlgrabber yum sqlite m2crypto"

when I run

su -c 'yum update php'

or

yum update php

the output is:


[root@www ~]# yum update php

Try these intructions if you're going to use ART's packages: http://www.atomicorp.com/wiki/index.php/PHP

ART's forum is here: http://atomicrocketturtle.com/forum/

(Also note that Fedora Core 4 is no longer supported by ART and has been EOL'd by the Fedora Project.)

 

[bread_man]

This thread was extremely helpful to me, thanks everyone. I installed the atomic channel, and followed the instructions on the wiki and am good to go. And I'm even using FC4. Thanks again.

 

[breun]

I wouldn't be too proud running FC4 when even FC6 will no longer receive security updates soon.
