Red Hat offers a RHWAS ... that has a php5 for EL4. The version of php in there (and in our CentOSPlus repo) is php-5.1.6 ... it might go higher than that, but I doubt it will go to 5.2.x. If it does go there in RHWAS, it will also go there in CentOSPlus, but I would not hold my breath :-D Thanks, Johnny Hughes -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Hi>> When (some) expected rpm package for the upgrade php to version5.2.5(CentOS4) ?>ummm ... the answer is probably never.It is not clear why Red Hat (and CentOS too), so weak responds to changes of important packages. In this case the question: how to upgrade to PHP 5.2.5 correctly? 1. make ... etc. 2. or go search rpms/rpm in private repositories (for example: http://www.jasonlitka.com/2007/11/16/upgrading-to-php-525-on-rhel-and-centos/ )? -- wbr -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

There are a ton of security holes in php5. From experience one of the holes I'm painfully aware of is php-cli which installs by default with the rest of php5. Mark
Hi Thanks to all who responded. But I repeat the question: how to upgrade CentOS4 to PHP 5.2.5 correctly? 1. download form php.net + make ... etc. 2. or go search rpms/rpm in private repositories ? -- wbr -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

This point stands for every distro with a package manager, not just centos.> 2. or go search rpms/rpm in private repositoriesYou can go this route, however if you do, you'll have to seek some of your support from them, as well as trusting them for security updates, and proper building. I would really not recommend moving to php 5.25 at all. If you're absolutely dead set on poking the tiger with this particular pointy stick, you can get the packages from the atomic rocket turtle repository (no I am not making up that name). -- During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.

It's basically a rebuild of Fedora 8 src.rpm and I track them for security patches, but not often (once a month). Given you've had insecure apps installed, I would suggest installing the suhosin module as well. It may break your apps, but when it does, that's usually a good thing (apps it breaks are usually doing things very incorrectly).
