Trying to upgrade to PHP 5 on Plesk 8.3.0

[dumbomaz]

So I've read and read and read about trying to get PHP installed. I have Plesk 8.3.0 on RHEL4. I have the atomic repositories set and am trying to update php. I can't use yum b/c of some proxy/firewall issues, but up2date seems to be running OK.

Code: Select all

up2date php --dry-run

Results in

Code: Select all

Name                                    Version        Rel
----------------------------------------------------------
php                                     5.2.5          2.el4.art         i386

Unresolvable chain of dependencies:
php-domxml-4.3.9-3.22.9                  requires php = 4.3.9-3.22.9
php-pear-4.3.9-3.22.9                    requires php = 4.3.9-3.22.9

So I try:

Code: Select all

up2date php-pear --dry-run

and get

Code: Select all

Name                                    Version        Rel
----------------------------------------------------------
php-pear                                1.5.0          5.el4.art         noarch

Unresolvable chain of dependencies:
php-domxml-4.3.9-3.22.9                  requires php = 4.3.9-3.22.9

I can't find anything about upgrading php-domxml. Any advice?

Thanks.

You'll probably have to remove it manually (rpm -e <packagename). Unfortunately up2date cant automatically resolve that like yum can.

Using yum with a proxy server: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/yum/sn-yu ... erver.html

I got the proxy working with yum, but I still had to fix the repos b/c RHEL4 doesn't expand the $releasever correctly. So I edited /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo and changed all "$releasever" to "4". Then I did the "yum update", moved the new php.ini file, restarted Apache and all is well.

Note that I'm running Plesk 8.3.0 and I didn't have to do anything to get Horde working (the PHP wiki says "PSA 8.3.0 is supposed to fix it"), so you could update the wiki accordingly.

Thanks for all your help.

So can you... it is a *wiki* after all

The wiki page has been updated to reflect the release of PSA 8.3.0 and the fixes it includes:
