hello,

i was wondering, how difficult is it to upgrade php3 -> php4 on an alablanza server?

i don't know much (read: nothing) about linux, but was under the impression that it wasn't all that difficult?

does it conflict with the web admin panel (or anything else, for that matter...) that the alablanza host uses?

thanks!

I dun think you can. Alabanza has strict rules for such upgrades right?

Yeah,

I think you'll find it's not so much a case of the upgrade being difficult, but rather getting the people at Alabanza to actually do it. :)

if they actually let you do it, then the difficulty depends on whether php is compiled statically (inside apache) or whether it's compiled as a DSO module.

If it's the second, then compiling php is pretty easy.
Else you'll have to recompile apache, and unless you're pretty brave and don't mind risking screwing up whatever compile time directives the admin panel might require, I would be pretty careful :-)
