Centos 4.5, CentosPlus and ISPConfig

Hello,

As I migrate my old customers to a new server with ISPConfig these days, I found out that Centos 4.5 is stick with MySQL4 and PHP4, while I needed the new 5 version for both. So I took the great decision to upgrade my perfect setup using the centosplus repo.

So here is the yum.log of what happened during the upgrade:

I didn't have any major problems after the upgrade, however I have some questions and I would like your help to clarify things:

1) After the upgrade, php.ini, php.conf and httpd.conf were replaced by new versions. What was seemed to be missing from httpd.conf only, was the ISPConfig vhost entries at the end. I restarted both the httpd and ispconfig and I didn't see any change to the httpd.conf - so I added these entries at the end, taken from the old conf file. Is this normal? Should I had to wait for ISPConfig to do these changes after some time (or after an update)?

2) perl-Filter and httpd-suexec were erased automatically after the upgrade. Is this normal?

3) Now when I login in phpmyadmin, it shows this message:

Code:

Your PHP MySQL library version 4.1.22 differs from your MySQL server version 5.0.48. This may cause unpredictable behavior.

Although I can't see any 'unpredictable behaviour' till now, I want to ask if this is normal too, and if somebody knows how to fix it...

4) How can I add the centosplus repo to be included by default for every yum updates in the future (meaning without the need for the command line switch --enablerepo=centosplus).

5) [offtopic]Running crontab -l shows all the crontabs added by ISPConfig (like webalizer). In /etc/cron.daily however, I have another webalizer script, named 00webalizer, chmoded 755. Is this needed too? I don't know if it runs though... In the same dir, there is another script named 00-logwatch which runs normally...[/offtopic]

Thank you very much in advance for helping me on these issues.

Best regards,
