upgrade from php4 question

Hi,

I'm running freebsd 6.0 with plesk 8.0. I wasn't able to find sufficient info on the forums how to upgrade the php version running on the server, without breaking the Plesk.

I noticed though that there are two versions of php running on the machine:

1. /usr/loca/psa/apache/bin/php - version 4.4.2 - used by customers sites

2. /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/php - version 5.0.5 - used by Plesk I guess.

So my question is how I can switch from 4.4.2 to 5.x or just use the php installed in (2).

It seems that swsoft don't care to provide any support for their product, or they want to charge for such, what an irony.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Alan
 
VERY good question!

I've got a CentOS 4.4 install and it has PHP 4.3.9 active. I'm trying to install SugarCRM and it requires 4.3.10 or greater. Now I see that there is a PHP 5 install there just waiting for me.

Is that php install kept separate to protect the plesk interface? Is that it's own private copy?

If not, how do we get it activated and working with apache?

(All rhetorical questions, I know. Plesk admins, you readin this?)
 
Hello, Did you solve this?

BTW I have read that Sugarcrm needs to have JSON libs compiled into PHP to improve its performance. Is it possible to include JSON in the Plesk installation?

since 8.1 plesk uses system PHP installed from ports.. so you can compile it with custom additions without problems imho..
