phpbrew giving trouble in php version changing on centos 6.3

unclesamcrazy · 08-07-2013, 02:32 AM

I am using phpbrew for changing php versions on centOS 6.3.
I have followed this link for installation.
https://github.com/c9s/phpbrew

It looks every thing fine when I run this

Code:

phpbrew install php-5.4.16 +default

it gives following message

Code:

Congratulations! Now you have PHP with php-5.4.16.
To use the newly built PHP, try the line(s) below:

    $ phpbrew use php-5.4.16

Or you can use switch command to switch your default php version to php-5.4.16:

    $ phpbrew switch php-5.4.16

but when I run these commands and restart httpd/mysqld, it still shows old version in phpinfo.php.
I don't know what am I doing wrong. Why the version is not changed.
Please help.

I have never even heard of this, seems like a dumb way of trying to run multiple PHP versions and make it easy to switch between them instead of just modifying it yourself.

It more than likely upgraded your local version of PHP, but not the module associated with apache.

Take a look at this yum output:

Code:

yum info php
Loaded plugins: rhnplugin, security
This system is not registered with RHN.
RHN support will be disabled.

Description: PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language. PHP attempts to make it easy for developers to write dynamically generated webpages. PHP
           : also offers built-in database integration for several commercial and non-commercial database management systems, so writing a
           : database-enabled webpage with PHP is fairly simple. The most common use of PHP coding is probably as a replacement for CGI scripts.
           : The php package contains the module which adds support for the PHP language to Apache HTTP Server.

Notice that bold line there that says the package provides the module for php.

Code:

ls -al /usr/lib64/httpd/modules/ | grep -i php
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3193672 Nov 12  2008 libphp5.so

I bet if you do a "php -v" from the command line you will see the new version.

As far as helping you with that third party piece of code, I have never used it.

Just do a "yum upgrade php"
