PHP & Apache Upgrade

How can you upgrade PHP? PCI complience demands 5.2.4 or better but Plesk comes with 5.1.6

Same goes for apache. How can i upgrade to 2.2.8?
 
plesk does not deliver php or apache, thats all taken from distribution you have installed. If you keep your installed os up to date everything is ok. the distribution normally do a backport of the fixes to the version they use ...
 
I don't believe this is true. In fact i have installed plesk on a machine which did not have apache or php and Plesk installed it.

I have also been told that upgrading PHP or apache can break Plesk's functionality if not done correctly.

Has anyone actually upgraded apache or PHP in Plesk successfully? If so did you just uninstall the apache and PHP RPM's and install new ones?
 
Plesk is installing apache, php, bind, mysql, etc from the vendor's repositories. Those packages are maintained by the vendor in the normal way (yum, up2date, etc).

Upgrading PHP is not an issue with PSA, I have 5.2.6 rpms available for CentOS 4/5, RHEL 4/5, and Fedora 4-9 now. Apache can be a bit more complicated, provided you are sticking with the major release for your distribution (IE, Apache 2.0 for CentOS 4, Apache 2.2 for CentOS 5, etc) you won't have any issues.
 
atomicturtle you are my hero! That was so easy and with no problems :) Thank you!
 
@atomicturtle did you have the php-5.2.6 rpms in your channel? i see nothing if i do an yum check update on my centos-5 server....

thx and regards
