Installation
Brought to you by the makers of Atomic Secured Linux. Secure your server now!
To upgrade to PHP 5.2.x on CentOS/RHEL/Fedora:
Step 1) Set up the atomic channel:
wget -q -O - http://www.atomicorp.com/installers/atomic.sh | sh
Step 2) Upgrade to PHP 5.2.x:
yum upgrade
Step 3) Replace the PHP 4 php.ini with PHP 5.2.x's (if applicable):
mv /etc/php.ini.rpmnew /etc/php.ini
Step 4) Replace the php.conf with the PHP 5.2.x php.conf (if applicable):
mv /etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf.rpmnew /etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf
Step 5) Restart the webserver
service httpd restart (or) /etc/init.d/httpd restart
Checklist
1) Source code installations of extensions, like Ioncube loader, or other extensions that have to be updated. Ive created php-ioncube-loader, php-zend-optimizer, and php-eaccelerator packages to fix this for you automatically.
2) php.ini settings, like memory_limit
3) execstack -c on any extensions that claim to need an executible stack (ASL users only).
FAQ
Q: Application reports a mysql mismatch between the installed mysql and the version php uses.
A: This is not an error. As stated in the features above PHP is linked against the native vendor distributed version of mysql, this prevents a condition where PHP upgrades also force Mysql upgrades. Applications reporting this as an error are incorrect. Asking this question in forums makes us a Sad Panda that you do not read our FAQ. *insert sad panda emoticon here*
