php error

Hi Guys,

Just a quick question, I have tried to install the RC version of dolphin 7, but as soon as I get to the install page, its telling me that I need to upgrade my php to 5.2 or higher, with the beta's it was installing fine, I have tried to upgrade my dedicated server to the php version but every time I try it just says I have the current version insalled...

the php version I am running is 5.1.6 on Centos 5 - any advice on how I can get dolphin 7 to install would be much appreciated!

Cheers and Happy New Year!

by chance is your control panel plesk?

No DosDawg - its a bog standard matrix control panel called marix that came with the server.

Would plesk help or cause more problems?

Cheers!

ok with CentOS you can update with yum

plesk is a horrible hideous dastardly control panel.

The easiest way to update php for CentOS 5 is to setup yum to use the CentOS 5 test repository.

To do that create a file called centos-test.repo in the directory /etc/yum.repos.d

In that file put the following.

[c5-testing]
name=CentOS-5 Testing
baseurl=http://dev.centos.org/centos/5/testing/$basearch/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://dev.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-testing


Save the file.

Now run the command ....

yum -y update php*

After php is updated, remove /etc/yum.repos.d/centos-test.repo

I did not even look at that link until now. Even easier.

Thanks guys - worked a treat!

phpinfo is now showing 5.2.12!

Cheers!!!!!
