How to update php with Centos 5 and Plesk

The official Centos 5 repositories at the time of this writing have php 5.1.6 as the most up to date version of php. With Plesk installed many users have found upgrading php by use of RPMs or recompiling php somewhat tricky.

The method described below was tested on a clean install of Centos 5.2 with Plesk 9.0.1 As always, it is recommended that you backup your system before making any significant changes if the system you are upgrading is not a clean install (aka: you just reimaged the machine). The repositories being added from Atomicorp

1.Step:

Log into your server via ssh as described here.

Tip

If you get a "wget: command not found" error, this is because wget is not installed. It can be installed using this command:

yum install wget

2.Step:

At the command prompt enter this line

wget -q -O - http://www.atomicorp.com/installers/atomic |sh

and press enter. During this process you will be prompted on whether you are using Plesk 9 or Plesk 8. Put in the corresponding number and enter.

3.Step:

Update the system using yum by enter the command

yum update

and pressing enter. You will be prompted on what will be install and how much space it will use. Enter Y for yes or N for no. If you choose no to either of these then the system will not be updated.

Here is what was updated on the machine tested
