First off, If your doing such a big update, make sure ALL the php code is PHP5 compatible. If it is made JUST for PHP4 it might not work on PHP 5; My suggestion is copying code to another server and testing the PHP 5 install there sense you have such a large traffic amount.

EDIT: It also helps to tell us what version/distro of Linux your using. If it's debian or Ubuntu, apt-get is your friend.

I say practice on your dev machines, then once you get it right, tell your user base that you will down for maintenance for a weekend and take your time getting it right.
