Upgrade to PHP 5.3 on CentOS 5.7 using Plesk 10.2

[BenWonka]

I have seen many threads regarding upgrading PHP to 5.3 but none of the suggestions in any of the threads has worked so I am starting a new thread.

*** I am running Plesk Panel 10.2 on CentOS 5.7 and my current version of PHP is 5.1.6 ***:

# cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS release 5.7 (Final)

# php -v
PHP 5.1.6 (cli) (built: Nov 29 2010 16:47:46)
Copyright (c) 1997-2006 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.1.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2006 Zend Technologies
with the ionCube PHP Loader v4.0.7, Copyright (c) 2002-2011, by ionCube Ltd.

I have tried upgrading PHP to 5.3 using both the CLI and GUI.

When I open the GUI and choose the following:

"Server Management" -> "Tools and Utilities" -> "Panel" -> "Updates" and select "Add Components"

I do NOT have the following option:

"Different PHP interpreter versions"

The only option I have is called "PHP5 support" and it says that it is up-to-date.

Here is the response using the CLI:

# /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/autoinstaller --select-release-current --install-component php53

You already have the latest version of product(s) and all selected components
installed. Installation will not continue.


Q1: Can you tell me why neither the CLI or GUI solutions listed on these forums is working in this case as I would prefer to use a solution supported by Parallels?

Q2: Can I use a CentOS mirror and yum to upgrade to php53 or will this break the Plesk Panel?

More info that may help:

Update your Plesk to latest 10.4.4 version then go to Tools&Utilities > Panel > Updates > Add Components > select PHP5.3 support and continue.

I am running centos 5.7/ psa 10.4.4 and when I try go to "Updates and Upgrades" which goes to https://my.com:8443/admin/update/product/ I just get a blank page. How can I troubleshoot and resolve this? I'd like to install php 5.3 too via the panel to fix a horde issue.

Thanks,
charles

Thanks Igor

I did indeed have this port blocked, so I opened it up and verified I could telnet to it from both inside and put. However the page still wouldn't load. I checked and there were autoinstaller processes running (appeared to be one for each attempt) and when I ran this on the commandline as a test I got this error

# /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/autoinstaller --service-mode --enable-xml-output --ssl-cert /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/httpsd.pem --branch current,release,stable --web-interface --with-ssl --disable-browser
ERROR: You specified wrong combination of options.
The options web-interface and service-mode cannot be used together.
Refer to installer's help page for details (run Parallels Installer with --help option).

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?><autoinstaller status="error" error_message="You specified wrong combination of options.
The options web-interface and service-mode cannot be used together.
Refer to installer&apos;s help page for details (run Parallels Installer with --help option).
" error_class="user" />

service-mode isn't documented in the help but If I remove web-interface it seems to want to interact. If I remove service-mode it just says the daemon is started. In any event, I am not sure what combination works, nor where I'd change this.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
charles

Just run

/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/autoinstaller --select-release-current --install-component php53

as it is described in http://kb.parallels.com/en/111711

Should I start a new thread? I really don't want to install php53 - that was an attempt to solve a problem with horde which is now fixed (thanks).

Bu I *do* want to be able to use the "Updates and Upgrades" feature from the UI. See above for the error and what I see running on the commandline when I try use it.

Thanks,
charles

Anyone have any suggestions on how I can use the Updates and Upgrades feature from the UI?
