Re: upgrading WAMP environment

Anders -- ..and then Anders Thoresson said... % % I've been using Apache, MySQL and PHP under Win2k for a while to learn % PHP. At the moment, I'm running PHP 4.2.2, MySQL 3.23.39 and Apache 2.0.40. Good for you! All you have left to do is upgrade to Linux ;-) % % During the holidays, I've read about a security hole in MySQL and I haven't seen this one... If the list isn't interested, could you at least send me a pointer? % therefore plans to upgrade to 3.23.54a. At the same time, I want to install % PHP 4.3.0 and Apache 2.0.43. Sounds like fun. % % But when I started to look for upgrading instructions for each software % package, I find nothing. Yeah. Generally just think of it as a fresh install instead of an upgrade. If I were you, I would - shut down mysqld and httpd - make a backup, of course - save your configs for each (did you install the utils originally?) - remove all three - install apache - install mysql - install php - install perl ;-) I say that because the web server is the base and mysql may tie into it; then you load mysql so php can see both it and the web server; then you drop in php (and the same for perl and mod_perl :-) You should be fine with the installation instructions for each. When in doubt, you might try the mailing lists for each, but I know that they are all supposed to go in together.
