To upgrade PHP in RH9

matthewchin · 11-23-2004, 11:20 PM

I am newbie but I installed my RH9 with default php + mysql.

php is 4.2.2 and mysql client is 3.23.54.

If I need to upgrade only php to 4.3.x, what is the correct way
to do the upgrade ?

any rpm for php 4.3.9, do I need apt or yum to do these upgrade.

Also my server run mysql with blog data etc, if the mysql is upgrade
together with the php, what should I do to prevent data loss ?

I really need some help, please.

http://www.rpmfind.net to find your rpm..
then rpm -Uvh to upgrade it....

u can do this by yum or apt-get if u want...
thing like apt-get upgrade php....
