yum php update to 5.2.4 on plesk

All is going well on my new server at myhost.ie but I wanted the latest php version with soap and json and when I did yum update php it said all was up to date. I settled down for a long day sorting this out but it turned out to be this easy:

wget -q -O - http://www.atomicorp.com/installers/atomic.sh |sh
yum update php
yum install php-soap
yum install php-json
/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/websrvmng -a
/etc/init.d/httpd reload

Isn't technology great when it work!

Useful post thanks. Was trying to get SOAP going on PHP and this saved a lot of time.

Hey, Awesome post. You saved me that 5 hours for sure!

Unknown said...

Yeah, not true. I lost 5 hours anyway because after doing these steps, SOAP worked, but mysql died. Not good. Any ideas? Yum tells me there is nothing to do when I do yum install php-mysql.

This worked like a charm. I ran through all of my sites after the update, and everything seems to be running smooth.
Thanks!!!

I'm also trying to update php on my CentOS. When I try yum update php the system reports 'No packages marked for update'. Weird, 'cause I know I don't have the latest version of PHP. Any ideas?

Delighted to be of some help!

anonymous, I think this line is the key: wget -q -O - http://www.atomicorp.com/installers/atomic.sh |sh maybe you need a different list of installers for CentOS?

Unknown said...

I don't think you need to install php-json; PHP 5.2 has native JSON support, you should see it enabled when you run phpinfo();

Thanks for the post anyway, I always forget how easy atomicorp makes my life.

Hey! Thanks for documenting this. Really saved me some time too. I owe you a beer or two!

In a situation like @statistics did experienced, try

"mv /etc/php.ini.rpmnew /etc/php.ini"

or locate php.ini.rpmnew and then write it on current php.ini file

And thanks for this useful post..

Great! Simple and straight to the point!

XoDaBoss said...

You know, you made this seem so easy! I spent 2 hours just searching for something like this because 1) there's not much documentation on doing this... 2) I knew it really couldn't be that hard.

Thank you sooo much.
