Plan to upgrade to php 5x mysql 4.x

Unread post by Galactic Zero »

I'm running PSA 7.5.4
RHEL 3
PHP 4.4.0
MySQL 4.1.14

I see that there are some issues with 5.0.x of php, would it be better to wait until 5.1.x is out and stable or go ahead and upgrade to 5.0.x now?

Thanks.

PHP 5 is standard on FC4, which is what I used for this release. So if it works on PSA on FC4, then it shouldn't matter on any other distro.

Once I got a few glitches worked out, I'm not having any problems on the one box I upgraded. It took about an hour to diagnose and about 30 seconds to fix.

I'm not upgrading the rest though because APC doesn't work with PHP 5.0.x. I've never been able to get eAccelerator to work correctly, so that leaves me waiting until 5.1 rolls around for RHEL3, or until 6.0 which is supposed to have it built in.
