Upgrade PHP to 5.2.*

[Agility]

Hi , Being a newby to this forum, Not sure if this is the right place to ask this question.
We've taken on a VPS running Plesk 8.6 using Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper. Its running PHP5.1.2-1ubuntu3.12

the question is:
Can this VPS be upgraded to PHP5.2.* using the plesk interface and repositories? there seems to be nothing available for this upgrade from Plesk through the Plesk interface or in any other way?

If this is a case of downloading our own package from the Ubuntu repositories then is there anyone out there who has done this before and could advise on package dependancy issues?

Any help would be useful on this issue.

You can install 5.2.x from just about anywhere - especially if your vendor repos have it. However plesk itself wont use it, it comes with its own php (5.2.6 I think) so no matter what you install for use by clients the plesk control panel will still use that version.

Im on centos and it came with 5.1 - I upgraded it to 5.2 with out issue.

Upgrade PHP for the system and websites via your distro repositories. (OpenSuSE in our case). Plesk ships with it's own PHP5 and apache server so that if the httpd deamon that runs your websites crashes, you can still access plesk.

It's a nice feature, but it does make it a PITA when doing PCI Compliance.
