PHP 5.2

[mmajidi]

I need to update PHP on YDL running on IBM Power PC. Currently I have installed PHP 5.1 and I need to upgrade it to PHP 5.2. Can someone respond to this posting on how to update PHP on YDL using Yum.

I tried Yum update PHP but that just updates PHP 5.1. I need to update from 5.1 to 5.2 and I am not sure how is that possible.

Thank you,
Mehran

I know the IUS Community Project offers PHP 5.2 & 5.3 updates for Red Hat Enterprise Linux / Centos (on which YDL 6.2 is based) but unfortunately their builds are only for i386 or x86_64 and not PowerPC.

It might be possible to use their source RPMs to rebuild packages for PPC without too much trouble, though. Then you'd have RPM packages for PHP which could easily be installed/uninstalled via yum. I was able to rebuild packages for Python 3.1 using that method a while back.

So, you can't use their repos here:
http://iuscommunity.org/packages/

But you may be able to use the RHEL/Centos5 Source RPMs here:
http://dl.iuscommunity.org/pub/ius/stab ... /repoview/

For example, you'd download this srpm:

http://dl.iuscommunity.org/pub/ius/stab ... php52.html

Then, with your system set up to build RPMs, build new RPMs from the SRPM like this:

setarch ppc rpmbuild -ba --ppc php52-5.2.13-3.ius.el5.src.rpm

If that sounds like something you want to attempt I can try to help.

I thank you for the reply. I am going to try your suggestion. Here is what I did so far:

a) I downloaded the php52-5.2.13-3.ius.e15.src [11.2 MB] Changelog by BJ Dierkes from the following link:
http://dl.iuscommunity.org/pub/ius/stab ... php52.html

I am using the command that you mentioned to see what happens.

After that I do not know what to do.

I really appreciate for any help.
Thank you,
Mehran

I execute the following command and got and error:

setarch ppc rpmbuild -ba --ppc php52-5.2.13-3.ius.el5.src.rpm
Building target platforms: ppc
Building for target ppc
error: File /root/php/php52-5.2.13-3.ius.el5.src.rpm does not appear to be a specfile.


I then issued the following command and got more errors:

setarch ppc rpmbuild --rebuild php52-5.2.13-3.ius.el5.src.rpm

Sorry -- I gave you the wrong rpmbuild command. Should be (as you already tried):

Code: Select all

setarch ppc rpmbuild --rebuild --ppc php52-5.2.13-3.ius.el5.src.rpm

-ba is for building from a .spec file which you may not end up doing if it rebuilds OK with no changes.

You'll need to install the missing dependencies as well...

yum install mysql-devel postgresql-devel unixODBC-devel net-snmp-devel ... and so on, including all the ones it listed as needed. Some may end up being other packages that would need to be rebuilt and installed from IUS -- haven't had a chance to try it yet.

[mmajidi]

I will go ahead and install the other package. I will let you know what happens.
Thank you

[billb]

I got all the dependencies satisfied except for mysql-devel >= mysql-devel-5.0.45-7.ydl6.1

There are SRPMs on IUS for mysql as well, but I haven't managed to get that to rebuild yet, either.

[mmajidi]

I am trying to up install Mysql using the following command
setarch ppc rpmbuild --rebuild --ppc mysql51-5.1.47-1.ius.el5.src.rpm

But I am getting the following error. Any ideas:

Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.74510 (%build)

After the above error, the build terminates.

[mmajidi]

I have to pass an option to the command to ignore the testing part of the build. It is building now.

Here is the option --define='runselftest 0'

I used the command

setarch ppc rpmbuild --rebuild --ppc --define='runselftest 0' mysql51-5.1.47-1.ius.el5.src.rpm

[mmajidi]

I tried to run the command but I got a compile error related to YACC.
Any help will greatly appreciated.

[mmajidi]

I forgot to tell you that I am running YDL 6.1 on IBM Power PC machine

[mmajidi]

Is there anyone out there who have been able to sucessfully compile PHP 5.2 for YDL 6.1?

I think that I finally build the RPM files for mysql50-5.0.91 which should be fine to build php 5.2. Can someone guide me on the steps on how to install the rpm package now.

Basically, you open a terminal window, and as root user, use the RPM command to either install or update.

Example first time install from a terminal window:

Code: Select all

su
rpm -ivh mysql50-5.0.91-1.ius.ppc.rpm

Example update install from a terminal window:

Code: Select all

su
rpm --upgrade mysql50-5.0.91-1.ius.ppc.rpm

(the su command in the examples is to switch your normal login to root user)

NOTE: RPM will check to see if necessary dependencies are loaded. If you don't have the prerequisites installed, RPM will error out. You would just use RPM to install the dependencies, then try your install again.

Don't forget - you can always use the man rpm command from a terminal window for built-in help.

Cheers,
Paul

I thank you for the reply. Here is my issue:

a) The IBM PowerPC is running YDL 6.1 in production and I need to upgrade PHP from 5.1 to 5.2 on that machine.
b) When I use yum upgrade it does not upgrade from PHP 5.1 to PHP 5.2
c) Based on help from this posting, I was told that I need to build the RPM and then install it.
d) In order to build the RPM for PHP 5.2, I had to build the RPM for Mysql which I have done

I will follow your instruction to install the RPM however I am just wandering if the installation of RPM fails or cause a problem, is there a way to unistall and come back to the current version of MySql.

I am under a tide deadline and this is a production server.

Thank you,
Mehran
