Hello,

I have a dedicated server that is currently running on PHP 4.2.2 and I need to upgrade to PHP 4.3.8. I looked around for help on upgrading, but I couldn't find anything, and I really don't know where to start :confused: Could any point me to some upgrading instructions, or maybe even give me a few tips yourself? Thanks! :)

What control panel are you using, if any? Some of them act differently when trying to upgrade.

If it's just a plain RH server..

- Go to php.net and download the source
- Upload the source to your server, in /usr/var/local (IIRC)
- Make a phpinfo.php file (<?php phpinfo(); ?>) and copy the ENTIRE ./configure line
- Go into shell where your PHP source is
- Shift+Insert to paste the code into shell
- Run it. If it's fine, do 'make check'
- If thats okay, do 'make install'

That's just a brief overview, I would recommend waiting for someone to post their own rendition, or to comment on mine. :)

If you're on Plesk, you can look at AtomicRocketTurtle.com for upgrades (use their YUM script)

Thanks. Right now my server is using Ensim's WEBppliance Basic 3.5.10-12. Are there certain installation steps I should take for this control panel?

I am not too sure but you can check http://forums.ev1servers.net and see if there are any latest php rpm's available for ensim..

I haven't used Ensim, so I can't comment. Searching EV1 will be your best bet on that.
