Topic: Upgrade software

Hello:

I had a new fresh Centos VPS and installed iRedMail (great to have it!) but now I have to upgrade php and mysql to newest version.

I tried to upgrade both but some conflicts arised.

1) If I find the way to upgrade this software, will be a problem with iRedMail in the future?
2) Do I have to edit something if I upgrade any software included into iRedMail?
3) Some advice about upgrade php and mysql?

Thank you!

Could you please paste the error message?

iRedMail uses official software repositories which provided by distribution itself, it's SAFE to upgrade them.

2) Do I have to edit something if I upgrade any software included into iRedMail?

Please refer to the package itself, if it required addition modification, you should follow it.
Mostly, you don't need to touch any settings after upgrade.

3) Some advice about upgrade php and mysql?

It's up to you.
But you didn't tell us which version you want to upgrade to.

Re: Upgrade software

Thank you for your fast reply.

I need to upgrade php from 5.1.6 to 5.2.6, it's a vbulletin requeriment.
Because "yum upgrade php" just say "No Packages marked for Update" I used 'remi repository' to upgrade php.

"yum --enablerepo=remi update php" and this is part of the log:

Re: Upgrade software

We only recommend these three yum repositories for RHEL/CentOS 5:
- ATrpms: http://atrpms.net/
- Dag: http://dag.wieers.com/
- EPEL: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL

Because they all are fully compatible with RHEL/CentOS. If you use other yum repositories on RHEL/CentOS, you have to take the risk by yourself.

Re: Upgrade software

Ok, thank you both for the recommendations.

shake: I have to upgrade to 5.2.6 or newest,  so I have to research about this issue a little more.

ZhangHuangbin: great, that's what I was looking for.

I will tell you if upgraded or not, and how!
