Plesk 10 not working with upgraded 5.3 (From 5.1)

[JerrodD]

Having an issue upgrading top php 5.3 from 5.1.

I have Centos 5.7 (centos-5-x86_64)
Plesk 10
great.
Through SSH I uninstall php package (5.1) and install php53 package (5.3.3). Everything works great and works. However, when I try to access the Plesk Panel, I get a Server 503 error on the page. I've tried so many different fixes and never got it working.

I believe the issue is, plesk is looking for the php package and not php53. Any suggestions?

I've sense reverted back to a backup I made before i tried to update.

I've read on this forums that the php53 is way out of date for Centos 5.7. Not sure if its true. When I do a list of php packages I see all of php and php53. The install through Centos doesn't work, so have to do it through SSH.

I finally got my issue solved. It was indeed an issue with the php53 package that came with Centos. I had to use the webtatic repository AND install additional repository definitions which another issue.

Incase those who are having any issues like myself, this is what I did to correct the issue.


Install the extra repositories
The first step requires downloading and installing some RPM files that contain the additional repository definitions, which we'll do with the rpm command:

sudo rpm -Uvh http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/5/x86_64/epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm
sudo rpm -Uvh http://repo.webtatic.com/yum/centos/5/latest.rpm

Additional repository definitions where under the /etc/yum.repos.d directory.

Open the /etc/yum.repos.d/webtatic.repo repository file.

Edit the [webtatic] section of the file so that the enabled option is set to 1. This will enable the remi repository.

[webtatic]
name=Webtatic Repository $releasever - $basearch
#baseurl=http://repo.webtatic.com/yum/centos/5/$basearch/
mirrorlist=http://repo.webtatic.com/yum/centos/5/$basearch/mirrorlist
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-webtatic-andy

Install the PHP 5.3 packages

sudo yum install php php-cli php-gd php-mysql php-mbstring

Install additional packages

I looked to see what packages where available (I needed mcrypt)

sudo yum search php

I installed addition packages with

sudo yum install php-mcrypt.x86_64 (Place package name with each install)

I then checked the version with

rpm -q php

After I verified php 5.3 was installed, I just restarted the httpd

sudo /etc/init.d/httpd restart

I went into Plesk and everything WORKED! I hope this helps people.
DO NOT INSTALL php53 which is listed as an update through Centos 5
