How would I upgrade php, mysql, and apache for debian

I want to keep apache2, php4 (currently have 4.3.X, I wish to update to 4.4.1) and mysql up-to-date on the latest releases, but I don't want to fully upgrade my entire system. How would I go about this ?

My current server was setup useing the debian sarge perfect setup.

 

Run

Code:

apt-get update
apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client libmysqlclient12-dev
apt-get install apache2 apache2-doc
apt-get install libapache2-mod-php4 libapache2-mod-perl2 php4 php4-cli php4-common php4-curl php4-dev php4-domxml php4-gd php4-imap php4-ldap php4-mcal php4-mhash php4-mysql php4-odbc php4-pear php4-xslt curl libwww-perl imagemagick

Please run one apt command at a time. apt doesn't like it when you paste all the commands together on the shell...

 

I have php, mysql, and apache already installed, wouldn't what you are suggesting return a message stateing that they are already installed ?

Would I have to change my current soruces.list to say unstable, then do

Code:

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade mysql-server mysql-client libmysqlclient12-dev
apt-get upgrade apache2 apache2-doc
apt-get upgrade libapache2-mod-php4 libapache2-mod-perl2 php4 php4-cli php4-common php4-curl php4-dev php4-domxml php4-gd php4-imap php4-ldap php4-mcal php4-mhash php4-mysql php4-odbc php4-pear php4-xslt curl libwww-perl imagemagick

I tried upgradeing through apt-get before, but all I got was a OS reinstall :S

 

I tried it, returned:

Code:

*** is already the newest version.

Which is what I expected it to do :S

What I wish to do is upgrade php, mysql, apache2 to the latest releases, while keeping the rest of my systemt back, through apt-get. If you look at my previous post you will see that I am useing stable sources, do I have to change this or can I just specify which version I want ? How would I specify a specific version to upgrade to ?

 

I was able to upgrade useing:

Code:

deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main contrib non-free
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ stable main contrib non-free
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ testing main contrib non-free
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free
#deb-src http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free

As my sources.list and then useing the above apt-get commands posted by falko. That process only upgraded the packages I wanted

Thanks for all the replys and info, hope this topic helps someone else.

 

I use the soruces.list from phantomk

I will update apache 2.0.54 to the newst version:

apt-get upgrade apache2 apache2-doc

Then cames:

sure that all will work after this update?

 

Which Debian version do you use, and what's in /etc/apt/sources.list?

 

Debian 3.1

sources.list:

 

Etch is now stable, therefore you should replace all occurrences of stable with sarge in your sources.list and run

Code:

apt-get update
