Re: Upgrading PHP 4.1.2 to Current

Hi, As I understand, you are using prepackaged PHP and Apache, the ones that come with a Linux distribution. If you want to continue using this style of RPMs you should consider looking for an upgrade on the web site for u'r Linux distro (like redhat's or mandrake's). Otherwise, and this is the methos recommended by most Apache, PHP admins is to download and compile Apache and PHP. The PHP INSTALL file which comes with the sources tarball and the PHP manual http://www.php.net/manual/en/installation.php will give you extensive info on how to do it. cheers, Catalin "Davy Campano" <dcampano@leeuniversity.edu> wrote in message news:C807360B44C8114B93EFD80E5CC7CDC725ECA9@lee7.leeflames.lan... > I am pretty new to Linux and I was wondering if someone can point me in the right direction on upgrading packages. Right now, I am looking to upgrade PHP but actually I would just like to understand how to do any upgrades. Do I have to recompile??? If so, how do I do this? Thanks for any help! >
