Help with PHP going form 4 to 5

Hi,

I updated php from 4.4.4-8+etch6 to the latest version.

Website runs a vBulletin forum, and in the php info i still see
PHP Version 4.4.4-8+etch6

so, i'm guessing that php5 is on server but not being used or set as default ???

Can you please shed some light on this.

Thanks a lot

You didn't mention if you already restarted the httpd service?

i rebooted the server right after that. and then checked for the version .
but it was like nothing changed.

You probably installed php5 but didn't deinstall php4.
As running both in parallel is basically possible, you should explicitly deinstall php4 and all PHP 4 related packages (including the Apache module).
Then restart Apache.

how do i do that..

without break anything

You don't necessarily need to uninstall PHP4, you most likely have Apache loading the php4 module instead of version 5. Check your httpd.conf configurations.

Probably checking the wrong httpd.conf file.

Run:

updatedb

Then do a:

locate httpd.conf

To find where any others are located at.

Since I'm using Plesk I think I found the correct file.

Now there are a Few Places in the Files Like below

Code:

<Directory "/var/www/vhosts">

        AllowOverride All

        Options SymLinksIfOwnerMatch

        Order allow,deny

        Allow from all

        <IfModule mod_php4.c>

        </IfModule>

        <IfModule mod_php5.c>

        php_admin_flag engine off

        </IfModule>

</Directory>



<Directory "/usr/lib/mailman">

        AllowOverride All

        <IfModule mod_php5.c>

        php_admin_flag engine off

Guys!?!?!?

You don't say what distro of Linux you're using, but there is lots of information on Google:

http://forums.serverbeach.com/showthread.php?t=6125

That page covers Plesk, and updating to PHP5 from PHP4.

Also, we all volunteer our time....multiple posts in one day, going "Guys!?!?!?" isn't very polite, and sure won't get your question answered any faster.

- There isn't much info on what i seek on Google, or wouldn't have asked here
- It was 4 days, and i didn't mean it to be harsh, i was logging off and said that, plus in 10 mins a topic @ LQ and goto 2nd page.. meaning forgotten.. :)
- The link you gave:

it comes back to what i had asked in the post above my last one.

Apache Run-time Config (httpd.conf)

You only need to make two small changes. I'm using "vi" to edit the config files. You can use the editor of your choice.

Code:

# vi /etc/httpd/conf.d

Change the top line of "conf.d" so that it loads the new PHP5 module instead of the old PHP4 module i.e. "LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so"

Code:

# vi /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

At the foot of the file, comment out the line that reads "LoadModule php5_module /usr/lib/httpd/modules/libphp5.so". This was added by the PHP5 install but it's not needed as it's already in "conf.d".

Do I need to remove all the libphp4.so from the httpd.conf ...

oh and.. i did meention in Op its a Debian Etch........
