How do I choose PHP 4.4.2 when installing?

I came across a solution here to help me upgrade PHP, while keeping Plesk intact. However, I need something a little more specific and I think it's possible given what's available here at this site, but I don't know what steps to take.

I am using or plan to install:
Plesk 7.5.4
Drupal 4.7.2 (requires PHP 4.3.3+)
dotProject (can't use PHP 5.x)

I currently have PHP 4.3.2. For now, I want to upgrade to PHP 4.4.2.

How do I configure the yum install to choose PHP 4.4.2?
Will Plesk be okay with PHP 4.4.2? (this question is perhaps out of the scope of this forum)


I have been given some instructions on how to implement what you have to offer, including these lines in a script:

Code: Select all

[atomic]
name=Atomic Rocket Turtle - $releasever - Atomic PSA-Compatible RPMS
baseurl=http://3es.atomicrocketturtle.com/atomic/art/3ES/
Perhaps this is where I need to specify that I want PHP 4.4.2?

Thank you for your work!

As stated on the PHP Project page the PHP 4.4.x packages are no longer being maintained by Scott and the 4.4.2 packages are no longer in the yum channel. Since you seem to be running CentOS/RHEL 3 I guess you're out of luck trying to find 4.3.3+ packages here if you can't use PHP5.

An OS upgrade to CentOS/RHEL 4 would get you PHP 4.3.9.

# php -v
PHP 4.4.2 (cgi) (built: Feb 19 2006 19:45:50)

I run Plesk 8.0.1 ... so that answer is yes... and I'm sure I was running 4.4.2 with 7.5.4 before the upgrade to 8.0.. it may have been 4.4.1 ..
