There is a PHP-5.1.1 package in /testing in slackware-current. You can download this from your favourite mirror and use upgradepkg. Or you can get the source from php.net and compile it yourself
I would have thought so. I haven't used it myself, I always compile php and apache locally.
The .new files exist because upgradepkg won't delete the old config files, you should examine the old config files against their respective .new files. Maybe the problems are because people are using the config file from the old php-4.x that may contain now invalid parameters.
based on it looking for the old package in var/log/packages/
but i get:
Code:
root@SERVER:/tmp# upgradepkg php-4.4.0-i486-4 php-5.1.1.tar.gz
Error: incoming package ./php-4.4.0-i486-4.tgz not found.
Error: there is no installed package named php-5.1.1.tar.gz.
(looking for /var/log/packages/php-5.1.1.tar.gz)
ok.. i did the configure command based on the what was reported in phpinfo(); for the previous version.. however when i try to type make or make install i get:
Code:
root@SERVER:/tmp/php-5.1.1# make
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
root@SERVER:/tmp/php-5.1.1# make install
make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop.
i do have a makedist* in the directory but as imr eading along the config and install dirs on php.net theres no mention of that
and not that it makes a diff (maybe it does) but im logged in via PuTTY
