Needing To Upgrade from PHP 5.1 to PHP 5.2 on CentOS 5
Posted: Sat Jun 21, 2008 3:00 am
1. How do I know what version of CentOS my web hosting provider is running? They give me full root access at webkeepers.com and so I ran 'cat /etc/issue' and it said CentOS 5, not CentOS 5.1. So, I don't know whether I'm on 5.1 or not. How do I find out?
2. I did a phpinfo() and webkeepers.com has me on PHP Version 5.1.6. How do I gently and gracefully upgrade to PHP 5.2?
P.S. Note that I'm a PHP dev who understands Suse and Debian (or Ubuntu) ways to install stuff, and sort of can feel my way around custom compiles (rarely).
P.P.S. Note that currently on 5.1.6 I have pear, pecl, curl, gd, iconv, libxml, mbstring, mcrypt, mhash, mysql, mysqli, pdo, openssl, pcre, pdo_mysql, pdo_sqlite, pspell, ncurses, reflection, session, snmp, sockets, simplexml, and the usual xml and xsl stuff. Most important to me are the PDO, MySQL, mcrypt, mhash, gd, and xml libraries.
