Plesk and PHP upgrade

[kpimichael]

I have 7.5.4 of Plesk with a version of 4.3.10 of php. Sessions are broke. I need to upgrade to 4.3.11 where i understand it is fixed. I am new to Plesk.. can i upgrade PHP and not break Plesk? I was told i could not by my isp. Is that true? If i can, would someone tell me how to do it. I cannot run any of my php code that has sessions in it.

THnaks in advance young tphenoms for helping an old retired man get a site up.

The easiest way is to use ART's yum project.

I am inexperienced i guess. But i could not find a yum for fedora core 2 alll i found was for core 4 and 5 and they wont work.

I know that the ART stuff must be good becuase i see it thoughout postings but i cannot get yum installed to go any further. I am on godaddy servers and they use fedora core 2. Any other ideas oh great one.

Make sure this is in your yum.conf file

[atomic]
name=Atomic Rocket Turtle - $releasever - Atomic PSA-Compatible RPMS
baseurl=http://3es.atomicrocketturtle.com/atomic/art/$releasever/

I use FC2 and that works for me.

when i tried to download yum...and run it...it complains that it will not run without fedora core 4. I am an old retired guy, trying to do this...so i am sure i have made a mistake somewhere...but thats what i get when i try to run it after doing an rpm like this

rpm -Uvh [url]http://www.fedorafaq.org/yum[/url]

then i get this

error: Failed dependencies:
fedora-release = 4 is needed by yum-fedorafaq-4-2006.02.03
yum is needed by yum-fedorafaq-4-2006.02.03

Perhaps i am reading the error message wrong?

Try this one

http://linux.lsu.edu/yum/fedora/2/

Do:

#wget http://linux.lsu.edu/yum/fedora/2/yum-2.0.6-1.noarch.rpm

Then do:

#rpm -Uvh yum-2.0.6-1.noarch.rpm

Then open the file /etc/yum.conf and replace contents with ART's setup:

[atomic]
name=Atomic Rocket Turtle - $releasever - Atomic PSA-Compatible RPMS
baseurl=http://3es.atomicrocketturtle.com/atomic/art/$releasever/

[psa-7.5]
name=Atomic Rocket Turtle - $releasever - SW-Soft PSA 7.5 RPMS
baseurl=http://3es.atomicrocketturtle.com/atomic/psa-7.5/$releasever/

[base]
name=Atomic Rocket Turtle - $releasever - Base OS RPMS mirror
baseurl=http://3es.atomicrocketturtle.com/3rd-party/base/$releasever/

[updates]
name=Atomic Rocket Turtle - $releasever - OS Update RPMS mirror
baseurl=http://3es.atomicrocketturtle.com/3rd-party/updates/$releasever/

Then do:

#rpm --import http://www.atomicrocketturtle.com/RPM-GPG-KEY.art.txt

Then finally:

#yum update php

man... i wish everyone was a clear as you...even a cave man could do it. However, i am an even simplier cro-magnon . I did as suggested and all went well until i did the import... i got this:

 rpm --import [url]http://www.atomicrocketturtle.com/RPM-GPG-KEY.art.txt[/url]
rpmdb: PANIC: Invalid argument
rpmdb: PANIC: fatal region error detected; run recovery
error: db4 error(-30978) from db->open: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery error: cannot open Installtid index using db3 -  (-30978)

ANd just for emphasis...it did it perhaps a 100 times Trying to get into my small cranial capacity i guess.

Thanks for you help. It must be nice to know what you are doing

Unfortunately the import address came out as a link due to the forum software. Go here to get the actual line

Try this instead

#wget [url]http://www.atomicrocketturtle.com/RPM-GPG-KEY.art.txt[/url]
#rpm --import RPM-GPG-KEY.art.txt
#rm RPM-GPG-KEY.art.txt

Same net effect, just more steps
