manually upgrade mysql and php

[exodux]

Just wondering how you manually upgrade MySQL 3 to version 4 and also how to upgrade PHP as well to the latest stable release through the SSH console?

I know the option is available to do it through the web in WHM but I want to do it this way so I can learn more of the linux command stuff.

Thanks.

In WHM under tweak settings select mySQL 4 and run /scripts/upcp from shell.

To upgrade php, run the easyapache installer:
/scripts/easyapache

Regarding Mysql ... Read the documentation on upgrading at http://mysql.com

Regarding php ... save a page test.php with following
<? phpinfo ();
?>

This should give you the Configure command options compiled in...

BTW, easiest starting point would be apache on a different target/prefix and then apache+php etc etc... If you wish to learn then don't be in a hurry, READ the docs n times before running a command and that's it

What I'm after is fully upgrading mysql, php and apache myself and not using any pre-made scripts by cpanel.

I've looked all around and on google for the right way of doing things such as -
wget mysql-url
wget apache-url
wget php-url

tar -xvf mysql
tar -xvf apache
tar -xvf php

./configure mysql
make
make install

./configure apache
make
install

./configure php
make
make install

etc, etc. i know there is alot more to what i've just stated which is what i'm after.
Any help would be great.

Thanks,

John.

This is for clean install and not upgrades i believe. Don't rush through the docs else it could be catastrophic.

Just as i said.

Step 1.
compile plain apache with a different prefix and target directives and then make it run on a different posrt (say 82).

Download the apachex_x.xx.xx.tar.gz
tar -zxvf apachex_x.xx.xx.tar.gz
Read The Documentation in detail. Get to know what prefix and target mean.
Give a weeks time reading and understanding it before you run the first command

Give at least 3 weeks on this lesson which includes configuring a site to run on this manually compiled apache also.
