I know I'm going to be shouted at because I'm sure this has come up before.

Joomla needs minimum PHP 5.2.4 whereas my BO server has 5.1.6

Can it be upgraded? Will it be upgraded in the future? What are my options?

Thanks in advance for the advice

Jason

Hi Jason,
Shouted at?  Nah.... chastised and cyber-stalked.... well.... ;)

You're right, it has come up before.

Your options are as follows:
1. Purchase a PHP upgrade from Solarspeed or Compass Networks (HIGHLY
recommended!)
2. Roll your own PHP to be run alongside the standard PHP (so you don't
break the GUI or backend functions)
3. Install BlueOnyx 5107R or 5108R, which are based on RHEL 6 as an
upstream and therefore feature newer stock versions of PHP.

Your easiest way out is #1, and that's certainly the way I'd go for a
stress-free option.

Oh, I forgot Option #4, which would be to find another YUM repo and just
do a YUM install of another PHP version.   The reason I forgot that is
because I'm so accustomed to answering the questions that *ALWAYS* come
after somebody does this, such as "why is my box broken" and "how come
nothing works" and "my customers are all furious because their sites are
down but I don't know how to fix it".   The answer is always to restore
to "stock", which comes at varying levels of difficulty depending on the
exact steps you took to screw it up in the first place.   So don't do
#4.  That would be bad.

Yes, there's a script that will do it for you, google for Mr. Webcam.

Best,

Funny thing - I heard that a new version of PHP came out today...and my
first thought was "Someone's gonna ask for that on the BO list... :-)
Hehehe.

Thanks Chris

Two supplementary comments/questions:

> 1. Purchase a PHP upgrade from Solarspeed or Compass Networks (HIGHLY
recommended!)

Probably will do that

> 3. Install BlueOnyx 5107R or 5108R

Is there an upgrade path?

Not a super simple one, that I know of... because the ISO install wipes the
drive.

However, that said, if you use raqbackup.sh and CMUExport to export the
sites on the server to another machine (it creates a bunch of tar.gz files)
you can do a fresh install of 5107 or 8, then use CMUImport to restore the
sites, DNS, etc.  Note - if you do this, make sure you set up raqbackup.sh
to backup the SQL databases. :-)

Instructions are here:  http://www.neuhaus-internet.de/cobalt/raqbackup/

It looks like more work then it really is, I've done it a few times...I
have raqbackup.sh setup to run a backup every day, and store it on a
separate machine. :-)

I'm curious.  Is there a reason you'd use raqbackup.sh, rather than just 
mysqldump --all-databases, and importing it before you use CMUImport?  Is 
there a difference?

Kev.
