Upgrading PHP

[mikec]

I've been asked to upgrade PHP to 5.3.
We're running Plesk 10.3.1 on CentOS 5
The current version of PHP is 5.1.6

I'm planning to follow the procedure in http://www.atomicorp.com/wiki/index.php/PHP but there's a couple of points I'm uncertain about.

The list of features in the wiki page include:

Currently using the 5.3.x branch
Uses the internal PCRE library, with extended UTF-8 support
Linked against the Mysql 5.1,

We have Mysql 5.5.14. Will there be any problems arising from the different Mysql versions?

Towards the end of the script at http://www.atomicorp.com/installers/atomic there's an option to use the Plesk repositories:

echo
echo "Plesk 8.6 and 9.2 repositories are available:"
echo "NOTE: Plesk 9 repos are only available for rhel/centos 4 and 5"
echo
check_input "Enable Plesk 8.6 or 9.2? (8/9) [Default: 8]:" "8|9" "8"
PSA_VERSION=$INPUTTEXT

# Remove the old repo's
if [ -f /etc/yum.repos.d/plesk.repo ] ; then
rm -f /etc/yum.repos.d/plesk.repo
fi

Although the script suggests repositories are available for versions 8 & 9 I see that atomicorp.com/installers/repos/plesk-centos-10.repo does exist so should I use that, and what are the advantages of using the repository or not?

Why you can't install php53 via Plesk autoinstaller?

Ah, I've found it now in the "Add components" section - "Different PHP interpreter versions"

Sorry for what turned out to be such a dumb question - I've only just come to Plesk 10 from version 8 and still finding my way around.

In regard to Mysql 5.5, no this will not be a problem with the atomic packages. There is an included mysql client library for mysql 5.0, 5.1 and 5.5 for your specific implementation. This will however be a problem with any of the plesk php or EL packages, since they dont support this type of configuration.

To your latter question, that is a legacy routine in the atomic repo installer when it used to be combined with the plesk repo installer. It was separated a while back into the plesk repo installer at: http://www.atomicorp.com/installers/plesk
