Update PHP and MySQL - easiest way

[VojkanC]

Hi,

I am using Parallels panel 11.5.30 Update #44 on CentOS 6.5 (64bit version) located on VPS.
What is the easiest way to update:
- PHP 5.3.3 to PHP 5.5.12 (current stable version) and
- MySQL 5.1.73 to MySQL 5.6.18 (current stable version).

Is it possible to update these from Plesk's control panel?
How do you do it?

And this project to allow multiple versions of PHP on the system: http://forum.parallels.com/showthread.php?293750-PHP-Panda!-Multi-PHP-installer-for-Plesk

Thank you for your answer.
How safe is it to use atomicorp?
What if they stop supporting their project?
Anyway, I've tried to install it according to guidelines on link you provided, but I have problem in step 3.
It says that file etc/php.ini.rpmnew should be moved to /etc/php.ini
I don't have file php.ini.rpmnew in etc folder?
What might have gone wrong?

 

[IgorG]

Ask atomic about their project

It says that file etc/php.ini.rpmnew should be moved to /etc/php.ini

It's mean that backup of original /etc/php.ini will be created as /etc/php.ini.rpmnew

And how come I get:
mv: cannot stat `/etc/php.ini.rpmnew': No such file or directory
when I enter mv /etc/php.ini.rpmnew /etc/php.ini

 

[IgorG]

Do you have /etc/php.ini file? Create backup of this file like:

mv /etc/php.ini /etc/php.ini.orig

and skip step 3.

Thank you for your answer.
I've managed to update PHP successfully.
Unfortunately, I think that there is something wrong with MySQL update.
It is still in process of updating (more than 4 hours).

When I enter:

ctrl+c

and then:

mysql -V

I get the message:
mysql Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.5.37, for Linux (x86_64) using readline 5.1 that version is updated to v5.5.37.

Websites that use MySQL work, but a little slower.

But 3 seconds after that message it continuous to perform MySQL update operations started 4 hours ago.


What might be the problem with MySQL update?

I've resolved problem with double free or corruption by changing settings in my.cnf (deleted lines query_cache_size=16M and key_buffer_size=256M)
Thank you Igor once again for your help. Kind regards
