HI You are welcome to try out PHP 5.2.6 from our webstack repository and give us your valuable feedback
From your OpenSolaris 2008.05, 1. remove the existing apache/php glue, If in case, you have already installed amp packages on your system pfexec pkg uninstall SUNWapch22m-php5 -> remove the 5.2.4 version of apache / php glue package 2. If you have not install any Apache / MySQL packages package, now would be a good time pfexec pkg install SUNWapch22 SUNWmysql5 3. and enable the SMF services by doing some thing like pfexec /usr/sbin/svccfg import /var/svc/manifest/network/http-apache22.xml pfexec /usr/sbin/svccfg import /var/svc/manifest/application/database/mysql.xml pfexec /usr/sbin/svcadm enable http:apache22 pfexec /usr/sbin/svcadm enable mysql:version_50 4. finally , download php 5.2.6 binaries from web stack repository by doing some thing like pfexec pkg set-authority -O http://pkg.opensolaris.org/webstack webstack pfexec pkg refresh pfexec pkg install pkg://webstack/php526-devtest With these, you should be able to get your php applications working out of the box.
