ok whats the best root to take
ok after finally decide to upgrade php i decide to go with 4.4 from PHP 4.3.2 do not want to touch 5.
There are just too many different ways of upgrading it that i have come accross anyone with a very simple and str8 faward way of upgrading to 4.4 from PHP 4.3.2 on a redhat ensim box, also will this break anything like current scripts i have on the box?
i found this one on wht
Upgrading php
#cd /
#mkdir src
#cd /src
#wget http://us2.php.net/get/php-4.3.10.t...rom/this/mirror
#tar xvfz php-4.3.10.tar.gz
#cd /src/php-4.3.10
#./configure --prefix=/usr --with-apache=../usr/local/apache
--with-config-file-path=/usr/local/apache/conf --disable-debug --enable-safe-mode
--enable-inline-optimization --with-gnu-ld --enable-memory-limit --with-mysql --with-pgsql
#make
#make install
i am assuming that src directory making is the /usr/local/src/ directory or does it matter where it is wget to?
and what about the ./configure options there
also will i need to uninstall current php on box?
and nothing would be best than upgrading so i can revert back to this version if after upgrading its all screw.
anyone at all with any help its appreciated
thanks in advance

RPM is typically the best approach to take on redhat systems you just need to watch out that ensim will support the newer package/packages/dependancy's
which is 1 of the reasons i dont use a control panel except for webmin as backup

use the up2date ( up2date --help ) feature ( if its redhat ) or if your using a redhat clone like centos use yum ( yum --help )

you will break alot of ensim doing that..
find the gpan rpms on ev1server forums and use them. ensim is very picky.Steven Ciaburri | Industry's Best Server Management - Rack911.com
