Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Hosting Security and Technology : Upgrade to PHP 5.2.1 Problem

[Fernis]

When I attempt the upgrade to PHP 5.2.1 using apache update in WHM. It doesn't upgrade. It looks to doa basic version check and then restarts Apache. Is this a known bug or is there a way that this can be corrected? Any help would be appreciated.


I am currently running the following

Were there ANY error messages (should be red in color) during the upgrade process?

[Fernis]

Nope. No errors at all.

[Fernis]

This is a fresh OS install also.

[Patrick]

Interesting.

What's the timestamp on the following file:
/home/cpapachebuild/buildapache/build-log/fail

... is the timestamp current (when you did the build) or older?

[Fernis]

I don't have a fail file in that directory.

login to shell account and upgrade using /scripts/easyapache , you should have more luck in there.

[Patrick]

If /scripts/easyapache doesn't work:

rm -rf /home/cpapachebuild

Then try to upgrade PHP again under WHM... this was the only way I could get PHP to upgrade properly on a test server (from 5.2.0 to 5.2.1).

This is an EasyApache problem, nothing to do with PHP.

The very first time you run EasyApache you need to use option #1 if using Shell or the default settings if running from WHM. This will create the needed directory in 'home'.

After running the first time you then go back and select whatever options you want to use.

Has anyone had trouble with --with-ming by chance?

WHM tells you specifically; not use it and it is a beta version.

So yes, I would say many have problems with it.
