upgrade to PHP5

[asenden]

Hi All,

is there an easy way to upgrade to from PHP4 to PHP5 in Plesk ? I have read lots of Threads in this forum, but I can not get it work through apt-get. I am also worried to mess it up completly (I am kind of a Debian Newbie)

Actually I am trying to install MediaWiki as an Application through plesk and it tells me that PHP5 is mandatory to install it (would need PHP5 anyway).

Some information about the system:

CPU AuthenticAMD, AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 146 
OS: Linux 2.6.14-2-k7-smp 
Plesk Control Panel-Version psa v8.4.0_build84080515.15 os_Debian 3.1 
current PHP Version: 4:4.3.10-22

source.list:

# main sources
deb [url]https://autoinstall.plesk.com/debian/PSA_8.4.0[/url] sarge all
deb [url]http://debian.intergenia.de/debian/[/url] sarge main contrib non-free
deb-src [url]http://debian.intergenia.de/debian/[/url] sarge main contrib non-free

# non-us

deb-src [url]http://debian.intergenia.de/debian-non-US/[/url] sarge/non-US main contrib non-free

deb-src [url]http://debian.intergenia.de/debian-security/[/url] sarge/updates main contrib non-free

I am happy about every hint
Thanks so much in advance

i recommend to update debian first, looks like you use debian sarge which is end of life.
after that php5 can be installed from the debian etch repository or some other repository if you like ...

i think in actual plesk versions with debian etch you can use the plesk installer to install php 5


it's a long time since i updated from php4 tp php5, as i remeber i used "apt-get install psa-php5-configurator", this works normaly without problems ...

Works fine with one Problem..

I have upgrade this one, and it works with little Problems fine.

But now i have another Problem.

The PDO Driver gives me now this Error:

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'PDOException' with message 'SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 2014 Cannot execute queries while other unbuffered queries are active. Consider using PDOStatement::fetchAll(). Alternatively, if your code is only ever going to run against mysql, you may enable query buffering by setting the PDO::MYSQL_ATTR_USE_BUFFERED_QUERY attribute.' in /var/www/vhosts/transflug.eu/httpdocs/map_data.php:68 Stack trace: #0 /var/www/vhosts/transflug.eu/httpdocs/map_data.php(68): PDO->prepare('SELECT * FROM d...') #1 {main} thrown in /var/www/vhosts/transflug.eu/httpdocs/map_data.php on line 68

On my local Testserver, it will run fine (The same one)...

I have read, that there is a Problem with some Mysql Versions.
So if i understand right, it must resolve the Problem with the transaction Handler ?!?!?

Is there anybody, what has the same one and solved ??

Is there some code to edit in php.ini or other ??

Thanks
