Guest faithfulman Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 Hi all, I am wanting to know if it is possible to upgrade my version of PHP. I am using Mandrake MNF 8.2 linux and I believe it has PHP version 4.1.2. I need to upgrade something newer than 4.2 I cant find an RPM that says it's for 8.2? Does anyone know where I should look or is this a lost cause? ~~ Faithfulman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ_Max Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 (edited) I would upgrade to 5, as there isn't much different between 4.1 & 4.2 besides the global variables. It would be better to just uninstall PHP4 & install a newer version manually. Anyway, look into the cooker rpm packages.

Guest faithfulman Posted September 9, 2004 Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 Does anyone have some experience in this .... or can point me to a website? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ_Max Posted September 9, 2004 Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 If you have the RPM of PHP installed, it's very easy tp upgrade. To check: rpm -q php If it returns back the package. then... Like I said, look at the "Cooker RPM Packages" http://www.mandrakelinux.com/en/cookerdevel.php3 Say you have a i586 system: rpm -U ftp://ftp.phys.ttu.edu/pub/mandrakelinux/devel/cooker/i586/media/main/php432- devel-4.3.8-3mdk.i586.rpm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest faithfulman Posted September 12, 2004 Report Share Posted September 12, 2004 Does anyone know for sure if the PHP packages for Mandrake 10 will install on Mandrake 8? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Martijn Posted May 30, 2005 Report Share Posted May 30, 2005 I also want to upgrade my PHP from 4.3.8 to 4.3.11 and looked on ftp.phys.ttu.edu. I didn't find the 4.3.8 file but found php432-devel-4.3.11-1mdk.i586.rpm Is it possible to install php 4.3.11 from this file or do i still need to make a php rpm via the procedure described on the cooker pages?

adamw Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 Nothing built on Cooker has a hope in _hell_ of working on 8.2. The very first thing you want to do is stop using 8.2, as you seem to be running some kind of a server (why else would you need PHP?) and 8.2 stopped getting security updates quite a while ago, so it's a fairly large security problem if you're going to use it as a server. If you really, really must keep using it, your best option is just to build PHP 5 yourself from the tarballs, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
