PHP Upgrade

[InsightUK]

Hi all

This is the output on my home page for Plesk:

OS Linux 2.6.18-194.26.1.el5
Panel version 10.0.1

I have done a yum update php

This went through with no errors but phpinfo is still showing 5.1.6.

I did a rpm -aq |grep php and this was the result:

php-pdo-5.1.6-32.el5
php-mbstring-5.1.6-32.el5
php-xml-5.1.6-32.el5
php-5.1.6-32.el5
psa-php5-configurator-1.6.0-cos5.build109101020.08
php-common-5.1.6-32.el5
php-cli-5.1.6-32.el5
php-imap-5.1.6-32.el5
php-mysql-5.1.6-32.el5
php-gd-5.1.6-32.el5

I have restarted apache and, indeed, restarted the whole server.

If anyone could throw any light on this I would be grateful. This is the first time I've tried updating php so it's very possible that I've missed something fundamental!

Best regards

Andy

Why you do not use latest Plesk version 10.4.4 with PHP5.3 - http://kb.parallels.com/en/113229 ?

Thanks for the speedy reply!

That's a very good question. This server got attacked a couple of weeks ago with the Plesk exploit. I did a rebuild on the server (through the 1and1 hosting platform) and it installed the version I have now.

I would be happy to upgrade as you have suggested but I am nervous about the implication for the sites that are on that server.

Best regards

Andy

Fresh full backup of your server before performing upgrade procedure will make you more daring
