PHP5 | Ubuntu 6.06/Debian | Plesk 8.2

[webeffect]

Does anyone have a definitive solution to providing php5 support within Plesk?

I have been looking through the code samples provided for older versions of Plesk and unfortunately none of them seem to work.

Seems like the impossible but also must be do-able...

Thanks

on debian you can take debian etch (which comes with php5) or the dotdeb repository...

we have no problems with them ...

Hi,

hm the solution of danliker is right and if you dont want to upgrade to etch it will be the best to use the dotdeb packages I also think. I run them on an sarge system with no problems so my present Configuration is Plesk 8.2, sarge and php5.2.3.

Sounds good.

I have completed a network installation of Debian Etch and am now installing plesk 8.2

I have added the dotdeb repository to my sources for apt-get.

What packages should I request from the repository?

Thanks

Hi

hm I think you dont need any package from dotdeb because Etch (debian 4.0) comes eith PHP5. The dotdeb packages are only for the case that you want to have debian sarge with php5. If you use Etch I would suggest that you use only the packages from debian so they are the tested and most stable packages for the os.

Br,

Thanks for the help.

I have all packages install now but plesk is still running with php4. Should i look in the apache conf files and load the php5 module from there?

I tried to get libapache2-mod-php5 from the repository and I received this info stating lots of psa packages would be removed...

Solved it.

I downloaded the libapache2-mod-php5 module for apaache2 and installed using dpkg with force-confilcts:

dpkg -i --force-conflicts libapache2-mod-php5_5.2.0-8+etch7_i386.deb

and then updated the load module in apache config to :

LoadModule php5_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/libphp5.so

Thanks for all the help and advice!

Is there any way to remove the dependency problem ?

 

[danliker]

as i remember just install the psa-php5-configurator first...

 

[webeffect]

What is your installation dependent on?

 

[flosoft]

root@flosoft:~# apt-cache search psa-php
psa-php4-configurator - Plesk configurator for php4
root@flosoft:~#

No php5

My system still says that when I run the command apt-get -f install. I pretty much have to keep adding the apache php5 module each time.

 

[flosoft]

That is what I would like to resolve.

 

[danliker]

we are talking about debian, right ?

what is in your /etc/apt/sources.list ?

 

[flosoft]

Just found it. The Repo was not in the sources.list. Works all now

 

[vinilios]

im in the same case, but on my vps there is no sources.list file. Im on debian etch and although php5 packages are installed there is no libphp5.so on the system.
Could someone help me out, what sources should i put to reinstall the php5 packages ?
