I bought VPS plan and found that the PHP installed on the server is PHP4, but I need PHP5, can I upgrade to PHP5 and how to?
I tried to use yum but it seems can't work.

Thank you !

If you have Plesk on your VPS, it shows bandwith stats for each domain created in it.

Hi Craig,

I would use the following steps to get PHP upgrade to version 5:

1. Login to the server as root via ssh
2. Install yum using the following commands:

rpm -ihv --nodeps http://mirror.centos.org/centos-4/4/os/i386/CentOS/RPMS/python-urlgrabber-2.9.8-2.noarch.rpm
rpm -ihv --nodeps http://mirror.centos.org/centos-4/4/os/i386/CentOS/RPMS/python-elementtree-1.2.6-5.el4.centos.i386.rpm
rpm -ihv --nodeps http://mirror.centos.org/centos-4/4/os/i386/CentOS/RPMS/sqlite-3.3.6-2.i386.rpm
rpm -ivh --nodeps http://mirror.centos.org/centos-4/4/os/i386/CentOS/RPMS/python-sqlite-1.1.7-1.2.1.i386.rpm
rpm -ihv --nodeps http://mirror.centos.org/centos-4/4/os/i386/CentOS/RPMS/yum-2.4.3-4.el4.centos.noarch.rpm

2. Then add Atomic repository that contains PHP for Linux Plesk servers and update PHP and MySQL:

rpm -ivh http://www.atomicorp.com/channels/atomic/centos/4/i386/RPMS/atomic-release-1.0-7.el4.art.noarch.rpm
rpm --nodeps -e php-domxml
yum update php*
yum update mysql*
yum install php-xml

3. Remove yum if you are done with software installationsas using "yum upgrade" or installing other packages can break the VPS:

rpm -e `rpm -aq | grep yum`

I hope this helps. Please advise if you have any further questions

It looks like there were wrong commas used. You need to use inverted commas for `rpm -aq | grep yum` like it is specified in the forum post.

perestrelka steps to upgrading PHP/MySQL would be very beneficial if it were a FAQ article.

I get this during final step:

[root@vps ~]# rpm -e `rpm -aq | grep yum`
error: Failed dependencies:
        yum >= 2.2 is needed by (installed) atomic-release-1.0-7.el4.art.noarch


Huh?


Also need 3 more steps:

-Replace /etc/my.cnf with /etc/my.cnf.rpmnew
-Replace /etc/php.ini with /etc/php.ini.rpmnew
-Reboot Server

Hello

 Download and install yum:

    * For RHEL 3 family:
         1. download the yum package from http://linux.duke.edu/projects/yum/download/ (the latest available 2.* package recommended)
         2. install yum version 2.0.* package

            # rpm -ivh yum-2.*.noarch.rpm
    * For RHEL 4 family:
         1. download the yum package and its dependencies from http://www.freevps.com/download/yum/RHEL4
         2. install yum version 2.6.* package and dependencies:

            # rpm -ivh yum-2.6.*.noarch.rpm sqlite-2.8.*.i386.rpm python-urlgrabber-2.9.*.noarch.rpm python-sqlite-1.0.*.i386.rpm python-elementtree-1.2.*.i386.rpm

I hope this is helpful.
Thank you

The above steps by perestrelka installed:

PHP 5.2.6
MySQL - 5.0.58
MySQL client version: 4.1.20

How would I upgrade the MySQL client version to match the server version?  Isn't that preferred?  required?
