Updating php version with Plesk

[pedorret]

Hello, I have a virtual server with Centos and Plesk 11.5 and I would like to update the php version which is 5.3.3

I follow the instructions of http://kb.odin.com/en/115875 but when I write the order sudo rpm -Uvh remi-release-6*.rpm epel-release-6*.rpm the terminal ask a password. I try all the passwords I use on the server but with no results. What can I do???

Thanks

You should use system password for root user there.

Thanks for the answer IgorG but I tried all the passwords I use on the server and noone works. Which is the system password?? The pass I use to join parallels??
Can I find this password??

I mean password for root user on your Linux OS.

ok, but the thing is I never change this password when I contract with my provider the virtual server... Anyfile on the system where I can find this password?

Did you try to use the password for the account with which you SSH'ed to the server?

 

[pedorret]

I don't understand exactly what you mean with "you SSH'ed to the server". I tried with panel control of my provider, virtuozzo pass and plesk pass. It's all I have!

Hi pedorret,

just to clear things up: WHICH username do you use, when you connect to your server over a terminal?

The command "sudo", with no additional username in the command, let you perform a command with the system-user "root" and therefore the password needed is the root - password. If you are already logged in with the user "root" over the terminal, you don't need the command "sudo" in front of the suggested command, because you are already using the system-user root.

It would be different, if you use a command like "sudo username ... ", because then the password of "username" would be needed.

Hi friend, finally I reset the server password and via putty have correct acces. To update php version I discover PHP Panda and decided to install following the steps on http://talk.plesk.com/threads/php-panda-multi-php-installer-for-plesk.293750/

It works perfect!!!

Thanks for your help
