Anything not already documented in the wiki?

I found someone who has some compatible RPMS with the ART PHP library. I only needed php-mcrypt and php-mhash but they work fine under the ART 5.2.2 stuff. You'll probably need to manually install them since his yum repo has some stuff that might conflict with ART. Considering my own attempts to compile from php-extras failed it's a good workaround until if/when ART has them too.

Thanks for info.

We really need these packages in ART, thanks a lot Scott for put PHP-HASH and PHP-MCRYPT ...

Regards.

I'm not clear. Does this effect Horde in general or PSA-Horde specifically? I want to update my PHP but we use Horde quite a bit and I don't want to break it. I saw the link to the other site (http://www.jasonlitka.com/) but I'm still a bit of a noob at all this. Can anyone point me in the right direction as to how to manually install them? Also, not pushing but when do you think they will be added to ART?

FC4, PLESK 8.1.1

(Scott: thanks for fixing my account problems!)

First, Jason's repo is apparently for CentOS/RHEL 4.x only. If you're using FC you'll need a different build (and I would highly suggest dropping FC4 as your OS). What I did was manually navigate down inside his repo until I found the RPMs I wanted (php-mcrypt, etc) for PHP 5.2.2 and then I did a wget and ran the rpm command manually

#rpm -ivh rpm.file.name.here

Obviously not the preferred way but it didn't squawk when I did it and my PHP install now shows those libraries installed. Keep in mind that these are just add-on libraries anyways and, up until now, users have been encouraged to compile their own.

Horde doesn't need mcrypt but it likes for mcrypt to be installed. From the Horde site

Building PHP without mcrypt support will not stop Horde from working, but will force it to use weaker (and much slower) encryption.

Again, I'm still learning, but since this particular server is a "virtual dedicated" I don't think it is possible to upgrade the OS. I did some web searches and no one really has a way of upgrading the OS of a "virtual" remotely. I also checked the fedora site and I see that they are about to release "7". I was surprised to learn that my host was so far behind. However, searching for other hosts I found that most all of them are still using FC4 (any idea as to why?). I originally went with the virtual because I was afraid that the dedicated would be overkill but now that we're starting to use more and more resources on the server I'm probably going to end up upgrading to a dedicated (suggestions of what to look out for - good or bad - are greatly appreciated).

As for the RPMS. Do you have any recommendations as to the best place(s) to find them for my "antiquated" OS (besides here of course)?

as far as Ive seen, I'm the only one maintaining anything for FC4 these days.

So, then why do so many of the hosting companies still use FC4? Can you confirm that it is NOT possible to upgrade the OS remotely? I got the notice that SW Soft is dropping support for FC2 & 3. How is everyone else doing this - hosting their servers on-site only?

I think because their margins are so tight, they cut costs wherever they can, in this case R&D. FC4 is a legacy of a business decision made as the followup to the use of RH9. I suspect we'll see more and more of the industry going over to CentOS4 or 5 going forward.

It is possible to upgrade the OS remotely, I wrote a script for it here:
http://www.atomicrocketturtle.com/Jooml ... ew/139/29/

Ive used that to upgrade all the systems I operate out there to CentOS4.

My suggestions on Plesk hosting are either 1and1 or The Planet. 1and1 gives you very little support (India phone support, no forums) but is a little less expensive than Planet (if you go for a host without Plesk at all it gets cheaper still). I have a 1and1 server but I reimaged manually to CentOS. I suspect that 1and1 will have to support CentOS directly soon as their only official images are FC4, SuSe 10 and Debian 3.1. Even if they don't, Scott's scripts fix their wacky partition scheme.

Regardless, if you're on virtual hosting I wouldn't expect an OS upgrade anytime soon. Get your own box. You'll be much happier in the long run.

Going by the number of accesses to the script alone, its been used over 2500 times.

So just to be conservative, there are probably at least a thousand centos4 boxes over at 1and1 now.
