PHP List,
My hosting service allows me enough access to do things like handle my
own upgrades and full administrative access. Usually, because I am more
of a web designer than an server administrator, I get their support
staff to manage upgrades and installations.
However, that does cost money, so I thought this time, if it's easy
enough, I would try upgrading PHP myself. Currently my hosting service
is running PHP Version 4.4.2, and I would like to upgrade to the latest
stable build of PHP 5.
At home, I use Ubuntu LTS, and to upgrade to PHP 5 I just used apt-get
(with the Synaptic GUI) to upgrade. It was very easy.
The hosting machine is using Fedora Core 1. I'm less familiar with Red
Hat systems, but I do understand that yum is the equivalent of apt-get.
So, I'm hoping I can just do:
yum install php5
... and be off and running.
But because I don't really want to suffer any downtime, I hoped to get
confirmation here on this list that this will work, and check if I need
any other configuration options.
If it makes a difference, I'm also running MySQL 5.0 on the system, and
Apache 2.
Is there anything else I need to know for a smooth upgrade to PHP 5?
