This patch upgrades the version of the PHP scripting engine on your server appliance. This version of PHP contains security fixes for issues that were found in prior releases of PHP for the Sun Cobalt Server Appliance.

who's first!? hehehe.

Do not install this update if you compiled PHP from source !!

The php version included in the package is way behind and will probably downgrade your installed php version back to 4.0.6 which has been replaced by php because of several security flaws....................


HTH

Robbert

this is a security update to the php scripting engine.

not to php as a whole.


BUT i would imagine if you compiled from source, this would mess with something in your compilation....

then again. i'd imagine any PKG from cobalt will mess you up no matter what.


/bitterness at cobalt

They are fast workers over at sun. How many months is it now?

Yet another reason why my current RaQ, will be my last.

ditto what haze said.





so. along those lines, should i go with ensim or plesk? i need as close to cobalt as possible. at least for 2 or so months.

i've done the demos and think ensim seems to be the way to go. at least for now.

I went with a Ensim box, but I have not put it into production yet. I wonder if I made a mistake, Ensim seems slow on updates as well.

Well i tried to install the update on a nonproduction box and my php version was downgraded to 4.0.6 while I had version 4.1.2 running so not only an update to the scripting engine.......

So be carefull installing this patch. :D

I did the same thing.

Can I now install the pkg from:

http://pkgmaster.com/

to get back to the newer version of PHP??

Thanks

No just install 4.2.0 from the www.php.net website it has just been released it is very easy to install from source.... I can help you if needed.

Ok, I need help where do I get started?
