PHP 5.3.3 update

macg · 07-10-2011, 01:07 PM

Ok, firstly like many that have probably already posted similar questions to the pro's on here, I am a newbee - I can manage to follow instructions as far as SSH etc goes, but thats about it for me.

I am trying to upgrade my PHP on the Linux server (CentOS) to above version 5.2.4 in order to support the latest Wordpress version - currently PHP 5.1.6 is on there.
I have got as far as getting downloaded tar.gz files onto the server and located in the /usr/src/ directories - I have 5.3.3 & 5.3.6 on there - & already done the

Code:

# gunzip < php-5.3.3.tar.gz | tar xvf -

&

Code:

# gunzip < php-5.3.6.tar.gz | tar xvf -

but when I go to the folders

Code:

# cd /usr/src/php-5.3.3

and try to run the ./configure I get errors, below is what I suspect is causing the errors, but as you may have guessed I am no expert...

Code:

Configuring extensions
checking size of long... (cached) 8
checking size of int... (cached) 4
checking for int32_t... yes
checking for uint32_t... yes
checking for sys/types.h... (cached) yes
checking for inttypes.h... (cached) yes
checking for stdint.h... (cached) yes
checking for string.h... (cached) yes
checking for stdlib.h... (cached) yes
checking for strtoll... yes
checking for atoll... yes
checking for strftime... (cached) yes
checking which regex library to use... php
checking whether to enable LIBXML support... yes
checking libxml2 install dir... no
checking for xml2-config path... 
configure: error: xml2-config not found. Please check your libxml2 installation.
[root@server77-68-104-85 php-5.3.3]#

I have tried

Code:

./configure --with-mysql --with-xml2

but with no joy... (I am guessing the --with-xml2 bit)

Can anyone guide me? or do you need more information?

Code:

Still no joy

Have a book on the desk here called PHP, MySQL and Apache ... does not cover this issue unfortunately - finding more info on this board than anywhere

You used the keyword 'update'; as it says

Quote:

libxml2-devel available, but not installed.
No Packages marked for Update

IOW, you can't update something not already installed; sounds logical hey?
First you install

Code:

yum install libxml2-devel

I am stating, the ruddy obvious here..... I should have went to spec-savers...

(Spec savers being optitions in the UK, ie need my eyes tested, must be blind)

That worked chrism01, but it's now not getting the SQL update, I have tried installing as before from the files in the /usr/src/php-5.3.3 & 5.3.6 directories, and also via YUM - the atomic as per the thread on http://www.eukhost.com/forums/f15/up...nux-unix-9412/ (directed there by server provider).
This is what I am getting now;

Code:

...

Error: Missing Dependency: any-php-sqlite2 is needed by package sb-publish-3.0.1-200705230938.noarch (installed)
 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
                        package-cleanup --dupes
                        rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
The program package-cleanup is found in the yum-utils package.

I thought that MySQL was packaged along with the PHP packages, I take it its not.
