Well, you can always backup your databases through phpMyAdmin (export) or from commandline using mysqldump just to be on the safer side.

There is no problem installing a new copy of PHP into it's own directory, and then changing your Apache httpd.conf to point to the new copy. Nothing else is affected by this, and it should be possible to switch between versions of PHP simply by restoring the old copy of httpd.conf. The only thing to watch out for is where your php.ini file is being stored. httpd.conf an supply a location for this, but many WAMP setups simply use a copy in the c:\windows directory. If this is the case, then it is worth adding a PHPINIDir to the new httpd.conf pointing to a copy of php.ini in your new copy of PHP. http://php.net/manual/en/install.windows.apache2.php -- Lester Caine - G8HFL - Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk// Firebird - http://www.firebirdsql.org/index.php -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP-DB] Upgrading PHP
I'd uninstall php first...I believe its rpm -e mod_php (or you can do rpm -e `rpm -qa|grep php` and then I'd upgrade apache and PHP on your box for security reasons. Read the installation section in the php manual at www.php.net for details.

Re: [PHP-DB] Upgrading PHP
I should add if you are going to upgrade apache also, to rpm -e apache first so that You will have a clean install. backup httpd.conf first though! But you might want to save /etc/logrotate.d/httpd because the rpm -e removed this, and it is what rotates the log files for /var/log/httpd/access_log and error_log Adam On Wed, 14 Aug 2002, Julio Cuz, Jr. wrote: Hi-- I'm currently running 4.0.4pl1 on RedHat 7.0 and I want to upgrade to PHP 4.2.2is there anything special I have to do BEFORE or AFTER the install?

RE: [PHP-DB] Upgrading PHP
Don't forget to make register_globals equal to on instead of off. Well, actually this is just a security/preference issue. Prior to PHP 4.2.0 globals were default to on, but now they're default to off meaning that you have to use _GET['query_string_value'] instead of just $query_string_value. You can read about this all over php.net in the changelogs. ~ Matthew -Original Message- From: Adam Williams [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, August 14, 2002 3:52 PM To: Julio Cuz, Jr. Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PHP-DB] Upgrading PHP I should add if you are going to upgrade apache also, to rpm -e apache first so that You will have a clean install. backup httpd.conf first though!
