Upgrading PHP from 5.4.4 to 5.4.9

[Magepim]

My Plesk installation (on Debian Wheezy) has PHP5.4.4 and I need to upgrade it to 5.4.9 or above.

How can I do this (It's a self managed Plesk server)?

Plesk doesn't ship clientТs PHP, it only downloads it from original OS vendor repo and it is quite likely it may be outdated there (especially for older OS). If your OS comes with PHP 5.4.9, then Plesk would run PHP 5.4.9 for clients.
Also you may use Multiple PHP solution - http://download1.parallels.com/Ples...inistrator-guide/index.htm?fileName=72042.htm

Thanks Igor,

Ok, so I have followed the instructions and now have multiple PHP versions. How do I install PHP extensions such as Mcrypt etc for the newly enabled PHP version?

I think that you need to compile PHP with the --with-mcrypt[=DIR] parameter to enable this extension. DIR is the mcrypt install directory.
