Yes, updating php and mysql seems like a good idea to me. Here's the output of httpd -l: Compiled in modules: core.c prefork.c http_core.c mod_so.c I haven't used yum before (only rpm). The yum man page presents a number of commands and options. I have a couple of questions: Should I use rpm to remove the currently installed php and mysql packages before running yum to install (or use yum to remove them), or is removal necessary? What's the recommended yum command? That is, would I want to run "yum install, update, or upgrade", or any of those? How should I specify the pkg name? I want php4, not php5, and I want mysql 3.23.58 (or later if any) but not mysql 4. So would I use: yum install php, or yum install php-4.3, or yum install php-4.3.9 to get the same version I have currently installed, or what?
