Safely reinstall PHP on CentOS 5.x x64 with Plesk 10.x

Hi, is it possible to safely reinstall PHP?

If so, what are the steps?

Thanks
Jay

Plesk doesn’t ship client’s PHP, it only downloads and install it from original OS vendor repo. Therefore you can reinstall PHP as on any other Linux server without Plesk. Just use OS package manager (rpm or dpkg)

Thank's Igor. Can you confirm that resinstalling PHP on a server running with Plesk 10 will not lead to complications? The reason I ask is that I have read some posts suggesting that Plesk has dependancies on PHP. Would removing PHP therefore not cause problems with the control panel?

Plesk has two PHP - one for admin panel (shipped and integrated with Plesk) and one for client's sites. You shouldn't make something with admin's PHP but you can make all what you want with client's PHP but only for your own risk for client's sites.
