chopps Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Hello all, I am currently running LAMP on a Debian Distro with SliceHost. I am tryin to upgrade from php 5.2.6-1 to 5.3.2 to take advantage of Late Static bindings but I am not very Linux Savvy. Everything I found online said I would have to re-compile the source for php 5.3.2 but I have no idea of how to do this. Also, I'm not quite sure how this will affect the LAMP stack. If anyone could give me some guidance or maybe a step-by-step explanation on how to compile php it would be much appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chopps Posted May 21, 2010 Author Share Posted May 21, 2010 Thanks for the info Thorpe. Unfortunately, it didn't work I added those URL's to sources.list like it said and apt-get update. I then ran the apt-get upgrade php5 command and everything appeared to be working but it looks like it only upgraded my mysql database from 5.0 to 5.1. I restarted apache and even stopped it completely and started it back up but every time I go to my phpinfo page it still reads "PHP Version 5.2.6-1+lenny8". Also I didn't notice any php packages get updated when i ran the upgrade command. Any more suggestions ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chopps Posted May 21, 2010 Author Share Posted May 21, 2010 Is there a way to make it to look in http://php53.dotdeb.org/dists/stable/php5/binary-i386/ and force the upgrade? I can see that packages are clearly there it just won't pick them up for some reason. Also, I forgot to mention I removed some other URL's from my sources.list file thinking that maybe one of them was conflicting or something (Again - Not linux savvy) but this seemed to have no affect either.

chopps Posted May 23, 2010 Author Share Posted May 23, 2010 Wuhoo! Thanks for the help. I was able to successfully upgrade using apt-get install php5 and it automatically updated using the newer packages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
