3rd way... if you have linux (and you do!) you can get yum. yum install php provided you have your yum paths/repos set properly, it'll more or less walk through the dependency issues for you... what ever you do, you can/should be expecting that some app will scream that you're now using a wrong version of php!!! welcome to dependency hell!!! -bruce -----Original Message----- From: Greg Donald [mailto:destiney@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Sunday, September 11, 2005 11:46 AM To: php-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Best way to update PHP on RH 9 On 9/11/05, Todd Cary <todd@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > I have RH 9 on our server and if I try to use a rpm for php-4.3.9 or > greater, there are many unresolved dependencies. What is the best way > around this problem? There are at least a couple ways around this problem. 1) Follow the rpm dependencies until you fulfill them all. There are lots of great rpm sites around, rpmfind.net, freshrpms.net, etc. This option has two possible outcomes: a) You succeed and finally get your desired PHP version installed. b) You fail and your box is a mess of mostly-upgraded rpms. 2) Rip out your PHP rpms and install PHP from source. I don't use rpm based distros much anymore, but I usually go for option #2 anyway. -- Greg Donald Zend Certified Engineer MySQL Core Certification http://destiney.com/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
