> Is there a "safe" way to upgrade PHP to 5.2x?

rpm -q --all | grep php

save the list of php packages

stop httpd

save /etc/php.ini, even if is renamed by rpm, but better have another copy,
just in case

remove all php packages

yum install php53

and then install the php53 packages you previously had

apply the customizations of /etc/php.ini including the correct timezone (some
php applications may complain if it is not set)

start httpd


I did this on 20+ servers when php53 was available. No problem at all.



Ciao,
luigi

The basic questions of design, material and shielding, in combining a
nuclear reactor with a home boiler and cooling unit, no longer are
problems... The system would heat and cool a home, provide unlimited
household hot water, and melt the snow from sidewalks and driveways.
All that could be done for six years on a single charge of fissionable
material costing about $300.
