Upgrade to PHP5

[Floro]

Well the update worked. But the next problem, php does not have a mysql module anymore, so allmost every website is down because they all use a mysql database.

Well replacing the php.ini with the new one as descripted in this wiki did the trick.

http://www.atomicorp.com/wiki/index.php/PHP

After some tunning of the php.ini, I believe this update to be succesfull.

 

[breun]

My guess is that you didn't merge in the new php.ini for PHP 5, which uses a new module path. Did you follow the instructions on http://www.atomicorp.com/wiki/index.php/PHP? I assume that the php-mysql package is installed (see if rpm -q php-mysql returns anything).

 

[Floro]

Yes you were right. Everything works smothly now. Thank you very mych breun. Your a computer hero.

Here the final results:

I tried yum --exclude=glibc-common update

And then getting this error:
Error: Missing Dependency: glibc-common = 2.3.4-2.41 is needed by package glibc

I tried yum --exclude=glibc* update

And then getting this error

Error: Missing Dependency: glibc = 2.3.4-2.41 is needed by package glibc-headers

Error: Missing Dependency: glibc-common = 2.3.4-2.36 is needed by package glibc

Error: Missing Dependency: glibc >= 2.3.4-2.40 is needed by package authconfif
Error: Missing Dependency: glibc-common = 2.3.4-2.36 is needed by package glibc

I need to update to PHP 5 because there is no support for PHP 4 anymore

That is not true, as you're running CentOS 4 and that distro will be supported until 2012. Security fixes are backported: http://www.redhat.com/security/updates/backporting/

And Joomla version 1.6 only support PHP5

Ok, that *is* a valid reason to want to upgrade to PHP 5.

Can somebody help me?

I only know that those virtual servers pull some strange trick with those dummy glibc packages, but I don't know how to solve this.

Hi Breun

Thanks for your answer.

I have a unmanaged server.
I thought that was for using Plesk.
But it is for the whole server. LOL

If i want them to update to PHP 5 it's cost me EUR 60.

The tutorial from http://www.atomicorp.com/wiki/index.php/PHP is good.
I only got a problem with glibc

I hope the best and that someone can help me.

 

[atomicturtle]

so what happens if you dont try to exclude glibc

I did yum update
and it ends with

I think i got it working.

PHP info says Version 5.2.8

This is what i did

If you come across this error when trying to do a yum update on your Virtuozzo Virtual Dedicated Server

> Processing Dependency: glibc-common = 2.3.4-2.25 for package: glibc-dummy-centos-4
> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Missing Dependency: glibc-common = 2.3.4-2.25 is needed by package glibc-dummy-centos-4

You can make use of the following steps to fix the problem. First you need to remove the package that is causing the problem.

yum remove glibc-dummy-centos-4

After you have removed that package you need to reinstall gcc with all the extras. You can do that simply by running the following command.

yum install gcc & yum install gcc*

If everything installed correctly you should now be able to run a yum update and it should not error out at all.

Thanks to

After that i did yum update.
No errors but it ended?
Yum update is only for update the files.
After that you have to run
Yum update PHP and the rest of the wiki at ihttp://www.atomicorp.com/wiki/index.php/PHP

I'm a linux Noop so sorry if my explaining is to much.

I hope everthing is working. LOL

Oeps.

I also upgrade mysql and now php can't connect to mysql.

PHP says 5.2.xxxx
mysql says 5.0.xxx
and if i look with phpMyAdmin then the mysql client says 4.1.2

mysql is running because i can make a database.

But when i want to install Joomla it says ther is no mysql.

I think something is wrong with my php.ini.

I found something on the internet regarding some old password issues.

Is there someone that can help me?

 

[atomicturtle]

For systems that came with mysql 4 originally, php is linked against the mysql 4 client libraries. A compatibility library is included with the distribution

 

[m@rco]

Pfffff.
PHP is connecting again to mysql.
Because of a strange reason. PHP.ini was not updated to the new version.
After applying that section of the wiki.
I can connect again.

I going to try to update libmysqlclient now.

I learning a lot in a short time ;-)))))

Hello atomicturtle.

Do in need to install libmysqlclient15off or update.?
And do i need to remove libmysqlclient14off?

 

[atomicturtle]

Under CentOS/RHEL 4, you're going to end up with both if you're using the update from atomic. CentOS/RHEL 5 came with mysql 5 by default, so it would just be the newer client on that platform.

So i can install the mysqlclient 5 with no problems?
Yum install libmysqlclient15off?

The only thing is that the client for 4 remains installed.?

Another question.

When is use yum update is says there is for 216 mb updates.
Can i install all those update or do i only install what i need to update?

 

[breun]

Most of those updates will contain backported fixes for security vulnerabilities, so I say it's best to just keep up to date with all updates via yum.

 

[atomicturtle]

Just yum update, the client libraries are self contained inside the packages. Breaking them out like that would be confusing

And I second what breun said, you should always stay on top of your updates. There are a lot of important fixes in there

 

[m@rco]

I did the yum update but had to recovere from backup.
After update everything was working.
Only the mail redirect didn't work.

I have no knowledge of linux/unix. So in don't no what i'm doing. ;-))))

I want to learn more but this goes to fast. LOL.

So i stay on the version 4 client for now.
