Don't know where to start

[ineedsomehelp]

Hi all,
I just opened a virtual dedicated server with Plesk 8.2.0 and need to upgrade to PHP5 and MySQL 5 and was told atomicrocketturtle.com was the best route to go. I just don't know where to start. I tried looking in the wiki and forums for a bit more detailed step-by-step instructions but no luck. Here is some of my server info. Thanks!

Plesk version psa v8.2.0_build82070807.17 os_CentOS 4.2
Operating system Linux 2.6.9-023stab044.4-enterprise

set up the channel:

wget -q -O - http://www.atomicorp.com/installers/atomic |sh

and its all yum from there. If you dont know about/how to use yum, check out the man page:

man yum

I guess YUM isn't installed on my server...


[root@server ~]# man yum
No manual entry for yum
[root@server ~]#

Is it pretty easy to install?

[scott]

wget -q -O - http://www.atomicorp.com/installers/atomic |sh <- should install yum for you. If you ran it and didnt get any feedback, then you might be getting blocked by the atomicorp.com webserver for some reason (RBL, etc).

Thanks! Yum is working but I get there errors while trying to update to php5

Code: Select all

Package php-pdo needs libsqlite3.so.0, this is not available.
Package php-domxml needs php = 4.3.9-3.22.9, this is not available.

YUM say domxml is update date and it says it can't find a package called php-pdo.

Here is what my yum.conf file looks like

Code: Select all

[main]
cachedir=/var/cache/yum
debuglevel=2
logfile=/var/log/yum.log
pkgpolicy=newest
distroverpkg=redhat-release
installonlypkgs=kernel kernel-smp kernel-hugemem kernel-enterprise kernel-debug kernel-unsupported kernel-smp-unsupported kernel-hugemem-unsupported
tolerant=1

Lets back up here and start with the basics:

1) What distro are you on
2) Is it a VPS
3) What did you change

You shouldn't have to modify your yum.conf file these days, the atomic installer should do it for you.

That being said, what you did modify is correct, assuming that you're on a CentOS VPS. If its a redhat 3 or 4 system, its not going to be able to handle that $releasevar variable.

Theres a wiki page that covers PHP updates and other things here: http://www.atomicorp.com/wiki/
