I did this on both a A CentOS 4 and two CentOS 5 machines. Mostly painless -- just needed to 'yum remove php...' THEN 'yum install php53...' (I did some magic with rpm -qa php\* & sed to get the proper list of stuff to remove and then install.) I did need to rebuild one package from a source RPM on one machine (and I ended up not needing it after all -- the code that need it 'evolved' in a different direction). > > > -- Robert Heller -- 978-544-6933 / heller at deepsoft.com Deepwoods Software -- http://www.deepsoft.com/ () ascii ribbon campaign -- against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org -- against proprietary attachments
