carlg Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 What is the proper way to upgrade a php installation? I have a VPS and it is running 4.? I want to upgrade it to the latest and greatest 5.2 (I think this is the latest) Do I just reinstall it over the old or is there a procedure for upgrading?

SammyGunnz Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Depends. Are you using cpanel or plesk? Or not using a site control panel? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/72965-upgrading-php/#findComment-367962 Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlg Posted October 12, 2007 Author Share Posted October 12, 2007 It's called "Simple Control Panel" Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/72965-upgrading-php/#findComment-367964 Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlg Posted October 12, 2007 Author Share Posted October 12, 2007 I actually don't need to use a site control panel if necessary. I have full root access to the server along with ssh.

SammyGunnz Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 The untar PHP5 to a temp folder, change directories to the folder once it's unpacked...and run your install command.

SammyGunnz Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Note, exact instructions really depend how you're running PHP, and what OS (Linux? Windows?...hopefully*nix based :-P) I think you'll find setting up PHP as an Apache module on a Linux box is pretty easy.
