upgrading php4 to php5
- Thread starter fsphosting
- Start date
I haven't seen any issues with upgrading to PHP 5. Most applications will run in PHP5 as they did in php4. Shouldn't be any issues there...If so they should re-write the app anyway

The question was not issues were there, it was how do I
Answer: (easy option) is to use the software update function in WHM, you can then use a simple GUI to rebuild Apache, just select PHP 5 in the config page and let the backend cPanel supplied scripts build your environment for you.
Thought: If you need to ask this on a public forum, would you be better off hiring an admin to do this for you ?

If you have shell access, you can follow this:
/scripts/easyapache --force
You will get a menu use option 7 there. You will then need to deselect the current version of php and enable the version that you require. Exit and you are done.
Before upgrading php if you have Eaccelerator installed on your server. Make sure you remove it and then install php.
Hope this helps.
Good Luck.

if u wanna do that then you'll need summing like
That's not php, that's a shell script, save it as whatever as chmod a+x whatever then ./whatever it, you will need root access to do this, and don't forget to set the username @ the top........
PHP:
#!/bin/sh
# Abort on any errors
set -e
# Export your username before you execute this script. format
export USER="ghost"
# Update version information here.
export PHP5="php-5.1.4"
LIBICONV="libiconv-1.10"
LIBMCRYPT="libmcrypt-2.5.7"
LIBXML2="libxml2-2.6.24"
LIBXSLT="libxslt-1.1.16"
MHASH="mhash-0.9.6"
ZLIB="zlib-1.2.3"
CURL="curl-7.15.3"
LIBIDN="libidn-0.6.3"
CCLIENT="c-client"
CCLIENT_DIR="imap-2004g"
