PHP5 Upgrade in Progress

Saturday, July 22nd, 2006

I didn’t get around to the upgrade to PHP5 last weekend; I’ve kicked it off this morning. Hopefully downtime will be <1 minute.

0644 CDT: The upgrade to PHP5.1.4 seemed to go off fine, as did upgrading MySQL from 4.0.x to 4.1. Now I have a couple packages to add to the mix…

0657 CDT: And yep, that build failed. I’m rolling back and trying again.

0706 CDT: I was fooled earlier into thinking that the 5.1.4 build went well. I’m rolling back to the most recent 4.x build and will work back up from there. [Actually, I will probably stop there for today. :)]

0710 CDT: Indeed, rolling back to PHP4.4.2 worked, so I’m going to stop there, read up, regroup, and try an upgrade again in the to-be-determined future.

PHP5 Upgrade This Weekend

Tuesday, July 11th, 2006

Howdy, everyone:

I’ll be taking Miller’s PHP installation from v4 to v5 this weekend [it's been two years since v5 was released, so I think it's stable by now ;)]. There could be some minor downtime of PHP-served pages while this happens, and worst-case, I could bring Apache down for a half-hour or so while I swear at it real good. I’ll update this page when I have more idea when the downtime will exactly happen.
