I have been living with PHP 5.0.4 on a SuSE 10.0 webservers I manage because of an installation of ISPConfig 2.2.1 with multiple sites that scares me to try an upgrade for fear of goobering any of the sites, or worse yet the main site manager. Well I have tried many CMS’s looking for one that doesn’t require an upgrade to PHP, and if you want any of the new Image rotaing goodness that is out there you have to have 5.1 or better. So back to the desperation, I found a reference to a guy that says he flawlessly upgrade his PHP by using the YAST2 (Yet Another Software Tool 2) and simply changing the install source to a 10.1 and selecting that module alone. Well after several failed manual upgrade attempts I finally followed suit, now all I can say is please work, or at least back out gracefully if bad things were going to occur due to some conflict. It’s 67% through what clearly is more than the single module I selected being installed, there were dependencies I allowed it to install to get it to say yeah it should work, so I hope it does…

UPDATE: It now says I have PHP 5.1.2 in the installed versions area of yast, yet my server seems to think I still have 5.0.4, something in the config files is still goobered,  or I just need to restart the process to read the new config files… either way I’m going to bed while things are still working.
