updating to PHP 5

[funkymonkey]

Ive been researching for days on how to update my php 4.3 to 5.1.4 so that I can use php_mysqli.dll for Joomla, if anybody can give me advice id really appreciate it. Ive only found resources on how to do it with plesk for linux, im running IIS 6 on my server with plesk 7.5.6

BTW, Horde IMP H3 (4.1) is compatible with PHP5 now

Plesk 7.6 has native php 5 support. Moreover Apache works on php5

hi - am new to this forum, but im interested, whether this update procedure worked for you - i tried it several times on a testing system, and after that i'm not able to use the controlpanel anymore... i followed the whole steps exactly....
thanks!

The tutorial you are linking too, does not work on my Plesk 7.6!
Maybe it works for 7.5, but not 7.6! After applying the steps in the tutorial, Plesk states that there is no PHP installed anymore!

Does anyone know how to do it right?

Can't get it installed either following these steps. Any suggestions?

try to replace php folder only

hi all, the procedure worked for me now - if you follow all the steps from the posted article - plesk will not function porperly;
if you run the plesk reconfigurator afterwards though (and choose all the available options), it will correctly repair your installation, and stay on PHP5
- at least thats my experience....

I succeeded too following the steps. However it seams only to work as ISAPI then and not as CGI.

In Plesk 7.6.1

simply create ".php" extension mapping from IIS : right click "Web Sites" : "Home Directory" tab >Configuration>Mappings

click "Cache ISAPI Extensions" then click "Add"

Executable: "C:\Program Files\SWsoft\Plesk\Additional\Php\php.exe"

Extension: .php

Verbs: All Verbs

so, even your PLESK will be faster and your php scripts work correctly! I tried it!
