Re: [cobalt-users] update PHP 4.0.5

Hi John,

> Has someone experience with updating PHP 4.0.3pl1 to PHP 4.0.5

Somewhat, but *not* yet on my RaQ3 where PHP is compiled with '--with-apxs'.
Have to do that over the weekend... Will post my findings, if you're
interested. I'll do it on a test machine first.

I currently run a few plain RedHat boxen with apache and php compiled from
source. The latest stable MySQL (3.23.37) is installed via rpm.

I used to configure php with '--with-mysql'. This worked with any php
version prior to 4.0.5. php 4.0.5 refused to make a MySQL connection when
configured like that, but there was no error message when configuring! It
just broke when it seemed to work fine.

I had to do './configure --with-mysql=/usr' to get MySQL connections
running. I didn't see any mention in the Change Log on php.net or anywhere
else.

My advice is to be careful and watch your screen as you're configure-ing.
Take error messages very seriously, as always.

Good luck and please post your findings... Nico
