Talk:Php 5 Upgrade

From PikaDocs

A couple of notes on this, as I (Scott Trudeau) do this upgrade for Michigan on a fresh Fedora Core 3 box.

  • Core 3 supports yum (vs. apt-get or up2date) best for updates, so I'm using yum rather up2date or apt-get. For these specific instructions, this only applies to the line for installing httpd-devel
  • On the "configure" line, I added --enable-mbstring because the latest version of phpmyadmin required it
  • On a related note, I installed MySQL 4.x from following the mysql part of the instructions here: http://www.whoopis.com/howtos/php5-mysql4-FC3-rpm.html I ignored the php half of the instructions, since it turned out Aaron's instructions for compiling it were much easier to follow and complete.
