Mi server is a RedHat EL4 with Plesk 8.2.1 and it has PHP 4.3.9-3.22.9
I need to upgrade it to PHP 5.x so tried the following:

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

PHP has not be upgraded. What could I be doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.

I already tried the procedures detailed at:

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

such as:
wget http://isoredirect.centos.org/centos/4/ ... 2.i386.rpm

rpm -i *.rpm

up2date php

and then:

yum upgrade php

Neither worked for me, same results.

sysoptech wrote:and then:

yum upgrade php

That's not what the wiki entry tells you to do. It says to run yum install php-pear (and then do some config file updating).

Thanks a lot for the input.
I started again:

wget -q -O - http://www.atomicorp.com/installers/atomic.sh | sh
yum install php-pear

Then:
mv /etc/php.ini.rpmnew /etc/php.ini
Which results in:
mv: cannot stat `/etc/php.ini.rpmnew': No such file or directory

Then:
mv /etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf.rpmnew /etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf
Which results in:
mv: cannot stat `/etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf.rpmnew': No such file or directory

I looked for the files but it seems they were not installed.

Hope you'll help me find what could be wrong.

You probably don't have those .rpmnew files, because you were already running PHP 5. RHEL 4 comes with PHP 4 and then installing PHP 5 will get you the new PHP 5 config files.

The problem seems to be that yum plans to install php-xml-5.2.3-2, while -4 is available and yum plans to install the -4 versions for the other PHP packages. You could try removing php-xml and see if that makes the yum update work. If it does you should be able to install php-xml afterwards.

I hit that snag of "yum update php" not working but doing...

"yum update php-pear"

It grabbed everything and zipped on by.
