Topic: Uprading PHP 55 from Remi - Requires: libgd.so.3

[MarkR]

Hi All,

I have just installed Contribs V9 (trouble free installation)

I am trying to upgrade php so for various php apps (owncloud, joomla, phplist) using the remi repo, unfortunately I receive the following error : -

Error: Package: php-gd-5.5.14-1.el6.remi.i686 (remi-php55)
           Requires: libgd.so.3

Any ideas?

Many thanks
Mark

I had not configured the Remi repository.

All is ok now.

I am very interested in hearing your results/progress.  Because my SME 9 server is hosting a Joomla site, I would like to upgrade my PHP to a later version.  However, I have seen posts here that caution that replacing the PHP version native to SME 9 might cause the server to break, maybe upon upgrades.  Any advice is appreciated.  Thanks!

Obviously a wiki page should be setup to follow any step on how upgrade php....please do it

[stephdl]

This is how i done

First enable repo

http://wiki.contribs.org/Remi

I used remi-php55 and epel

yum --enablerepo=remi-php55,remi,epel update php\*


The known issue is phpmyadmin which is tied with php53 but Remi provides a phpmyadmin version  usable with our contribs....i have done some works on IT......the Unknown issue is what we could break more on sme server....test zone

Many thanks stephdl.

Did you get phpmyadmin working?

would i use "yum --enablerepo=remi update phpmyadmin" to install the remi version?

Thanks again
Mark

I'm on holydays, a bit far from my build box, so I cannot work on it yet, but this is how you can update to PHP55

Code: [Select]

yum --enablerepo=remi-php55,remi,epel update php\* --exclude=php-horde-Horde\*
as you can see we must not update horde since remi provides some packages for it.

Of course it needs more Test before to be used in an environment of work.

I can provide a  version of smeserver-phpmyadmin for remi php version it is not a huge task, this one should work :  http://mirror.de-labrusse.fr/Sme-Server/phpmyadmin/

Hi All,

I have updated to php 5.5.14 but when trying to update phpmyadmin i  received the following??

Error: Package: php-mcrypt-5.3.3-3.el6.i686 (epel)
           Requires: php(api) = 20090626

               php(zend-abi) = 20090626
 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Any ideas would be appreciated.
Many thanks
Mark

Once php55 is updated you could install smeserver-phpmyadmin

 wget http://mirror.de-labrusse.fr/Sme-Server/phpmyadmin/smeserver-phpmyadmin-4.1.14-9.el6.sme.noarch.rpm

Yum install smeserver-phpmyadmin-4.1.14-9.el6.sme.noarch.rpm --enablerepo=remi,remi-php55

[MarkR]

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem

Many thanks Stephdl,

Install via your last command worked fine......

You should upgrade to MySQL 5.5.0 or later.

Yep i'm on holidays in spain but now it is the time to return to home so i will start some works the next week.

To be honest I don't try to much than upgrade php and install phpmyadmin from remi repository. The version proposed is really uptodate and maybe complains about mysql55. That should be required in the phpmyadmin website if you can verify that.
I'm not sure that upgrade mysql is a good idea since the mysql service refused to start when i tried the upgrade but it needs to be done again. I know that Jpp has done a contrib for Sme8 to install mysql5.5,  it ought be tested and if needed we could make a rpm for sme9

[stephdl]

Well i have understood why the mysql server crash after an update to mysql 5.5. In fact by default we give an argument 'skip-innodb' and the problem for us is that now mysql5.5 is build with innodb. Therefore the solution is to enabled innodb in myqsld (see relevant db entries)

Then we can have PHP55 (only one warning in log : allow_call_time_pass_reference because deprecated) and mysql 5.5 from remi for sme9.

What could be the more interesting, only a tutorial on the howto section, or a rpm to upgrade all this software....included phpMyAdmin (version 4.2.7) ?

Edit : when i enable innodb i have these settings in /etc/my.cnf
innodb_data_home_dir = /var/lib/mysql/
innodb_data_file_path = ibdata1:10M:autoextend
innodb_log_group_home_dir = /var/lib/mysql/
innodb_buffer_pool_size = 16M
innodb_additional_mem_pool_size = 2M
innodb_log_file_size = 5M
innodb_log_buffer_size = 8M
innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit = 1
innodb_lock_wait_timeout = 50


are they enough  ????

For those who want to upgrade to php55 and mysql5.5, this is how you can do

http://wiki.contribs.org/Upgrade_php/mysql

Of course that should be tried with real PHP application in order to validate it.
