If I install PHP5 from centosplus it will replace PHP4, is this correct? Or is there a way to have it installed in parallel? I know I can't run both modules at the same time, but I'd prefer having them installed in parallel, so I can switch back/between easier. When I try updating I get a dependency warning from php-eaccelerator (from dag repo) - can I ignore that? Searching thru my list archive I find it mentioned several times that eaccelerator works with PHP5, but it's not clear if and what package. Thanks. Kai

It is however pretty easy to do that yourself. Just compile from source, make install and then create a config file. Make sure your extensions don't conflict (i.e. php4 for all php4 files and leave php5 with the standard .php extension)... If this is development you can also simply switch back and forth between the two. That's what I do - wrote a simple script that takes 4 or 5 as parameter and then uninstalls php, installs the apropriate rpms from a directory on my local box and then puts the config file in place. Takes about 15 seconds and works well enough for me. Peter.

The maintainer for php 5.0.4 in CentOSplus should build it as its an extension that works without problems. __________________________________________________ Improve the mailing list by performing a simple search before posting and reading the FAQ/etiquette.
