Because PHP has had a number of incompatible language changes between versions. RPM will be able to manage the job of replacing the php .so (or executable), but it is likely that there will be code modifications that you'll need to do in order to keep your site running. There's workarounds for that of course (you *can* run multiple versions of php on the same machine, but it's a real pain), but you'll have to do some legwork either way. > > > Which MTA are you using? > > Postfix with MySQL Postfix won't present problems. I don't remember how straightforward it is to upgrade MySQL. Can anyone here comment? I'd take a mysqldump of the database before you do anything.
