Want PHP5 but can upgrade 7.1.7 to 7.5.4 !!

[jvanv8]

I've been trying to install PHP 5 but it won't configure since it gives me the error:

checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... no
configure: error: no acceptable cc found in $PATH

So since it appears that the server doesn't have a GCC compiler, I figured the easiest way to get up to date was to run the Plesk updates... its been a while (2004?)

I was able to successfully run the updater to get to Plesk version 7.1.7
Then I tried to go to 7.5.3

..... lots of stuff....

I even tried to rename the conflicting files but it did the same thing again.
So I tried to get 7.5.4 and the autoupdate email stated this:

I'm new at Linux/Unix and server conf in general... can anyone help me out?

First off, I wouldn't think at this time of pairing php5 and Plesk. It's not going to work.

As to the upgrade, try doing:

#rpm -e openssh-askpass*

Then run the installer again.

 

[jvanv8]

what happens if Plesk "doesn't work"
This is a dedicated server and we actually rarely use the plesk interface since we don't sell hosting or anything... php on the other hand.... is much more integral.
If I install PHP5 and Plesk "breaks" then will it work when they finally catch-up to v5?

Hi,

If you can get openssh working as per pheonixisp's instructions and then upgrade to 7.5.4, you can then upgrade to PHP 5. PHP 5 is supported since Plesk 7.5.4 Reloaded version.

I ran the command rpm -e openssh-askpass* and it said the package was not installed (obviously I guess)... then I reran the updater and most of the components were already up to date so I picked a few compnents (I don't really need them but from what I gather, I just need to check something to trigger the updater to run).
After successfully running the updater, I tried the command again but it produced the same output:

# rpm -e openssh-askpass*
error: package openssh-askpass* is not installed

Any ideas on how to install this openssh thing?

Thanks guys for your help so far.

ok, I think I got the openssh issue fixed by running
#rpm -e -F openssh*
But now I have yet another error... looks to be either associated with some sort of License Key or with MySQL. Does MySQL have to be shut down to do the update? I thought it did this automatically?

Thanks again for any help

You need a new key for each version of Plesk. So yes, get a new key here:

https://register.swsoft.com/key_upgrade/

 

[jvanv8]

Well I bought key upgrade and now when I go to the updater menu in Plesk all I get is a blank screen...

Is there a way to 'bring the updater page back to life'?
or
Is there a command to manually trigger the updater?

I hope spending the $$$ for the license key wasn't pointless.
