Upgrading to MySQL5/PHP5 on FC2 Dedicated Server
Posted: Tue Feb 21, 2006 10:58 am
I am about to set up a dedicated server. The host that I am using has Fedora Core 2 installed on their servers, along with all the applications that come with FC2. I am developing a network of sites that take advantage of some of the features of MySQL5 and PHP5 and I want to be able to upgrade MySQL and PHP on my dedicated server when I get it set up. Now to my question(s)...
I know next to nothing about Linux. I have ordered Linux in a Nutshell and have played around with Stanton Finley's Fedora Core 4 Installation Tutorial. But I am really not certain even how to shell into my dedicated server and I am really uncertain how to upgrade from the older versions of the software once I am in. Can some of the Linux guru's in this community help me out by pointing me to some newbie type tutorials or newbie instructions when it comes to things like this?
As always, all help is much appreciated.
