REQ: guide to upgrade php 5.1.2 to 5.1.3 or a rpm (Fedora Core 5)

markg85 · 05-04-2006, 08:25 AM

Hey,

php 5.1.3 is released a few days ago and normally i would install the rpm to upgrade it.. bat thing is that i can`t find a rpm :S i tried installing it from the source but that didn`t went verry well

now i convinced that i can install php 5.1.3.. i just need a small puch in the right direction for the upgrading from source stuff

i`m also looking for a rpm package of apache 2.2.2 and mysql 5.0.21

Thanx for the help.

What specifically didn't work when you tried compiling from source ("didn't go very well" isn't too helpful)

The normal process is to extract the file you downloaded,
change into the directory. Type ./configure then make then as root make install

Sometimes it is different, but there's probably instructions in a Readme file also that should be in the directory also.

yeah i know all about the readme things :P
the thing that going wrong now is that when i do the ./configure, make and make install my existing php stays 5.1.2 :s instead of going up to 5.1.3 (5.1.4 now since that already released.)
i just have a default Fedora Core 5 running.

Might be a problem if 5.1.2 is still installed. Did you try removing it to see what happens?

yes i tried.. than i don get php at all :P
it install fine (looks like it) but when restarting apache there is no php.. not even when restarting the pc.

Maybe try searching for php, make sure the files didn't get put in some weird place when installing the new version. Other than that I'm starting to run out of ideas.

How critical is it to have the newest version, I'm sure an rpm will probably be available soon, would it be a serious issue if you wait a couple weeks?

not critical at all

i will just wait for the RPM`s. i got alot of school work to do anyway so there isn much time for fun (php

)
