Upgrading to PHP 5.2.17

[PTS]

Hello all, I'm pretty comfortable with CLI but I want to make sure I'm taking the right steps when upgrading to PHP 5.2.17. I have a few websites that I can't afford to go down because of an upgrade failure.

I've got Plesk 10.1.1 running on CentOS 5 with the atomic repository already installed. To update to PHP 5.2.17, I am assuming the first step is as follows:

yum update php

If I proceed to install the two new packages and upgrade 18 existing packages, what are my next steps if any?

Does MySQL need to be updated? Right now I get the following error in phpMyAdmin: Your PHP MySQL library version 5.0.77 differs from your MySQL server version 5.1.52. This may cause unpredictable behavior.

Other than that error, everything runs well.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks Igor, I did see that page after posting this thread. That said, I do have a questions about Steps 3 and 4.

Step 3) Replace the PHP 4 php.ini with PHP 5.2.x's (if applicable):
mv /etc/php.ini.rpmnew /etc/php.ini

Step 4) Replace the php.conf with the PHP 5.2.x php.conf (if applicable):
mv /etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf.rpmnew /etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf

I'm upgrading from PHP 5.1.x so I assume Step 3 isn't applicable. What are you recommendations for Step 4? How do I know it it's applicable or not.

Thanks again.

I think it would be better contact atomicturtle user on this forum regarding their solution

Great question, the simple answer is if /etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf.rpmnew exists then you probably need to do step 4.
