PHP update CGI Issue

[CJZ]

I'm currently using Centos 5 with a working install of PHP 5.1 and Plesk works with CGI and FastCGI. When I run "yum update php" Php is marked to update to 5.3 from Atomic. However, once all the updates are finished, when the Plesk clients are set to run PHP as CGI or FastCGI, the server returns a 500 Internal Server Issue.

I'm wondering how Plesk handles the switching between mod_php, CGI and FastCGI when the setting is changed in the subscriptions. Also, how can I go about updating PHP and keeping this ability to run PHP as CGI.

yum update php

Update:

After more testing, I have determined that the problem actually lies with updating httpd. Any help on this matter?

Yes. I followed the article and it fixed the issue. I wrote a script that I can run after every update that follows the commands given in the article.
