Php

Hi,
How would i apply this php patch to my server:
http://www.lancs.ac.uk/~steveb/patches/php-mail-header-patch/

I tryed applying the patch but got the following error:

Code:

server1:/tmp # patch -p1 < php5-mail-header.patch
can't find file to patch at input line 3
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:
--------------------------
|--- php-5.0.5/ext/standard/mail.c.orig 2005-07-28 09:48:31.000000000 +0100
|+++ php-5.0.5/ext/standard/mail.c      2005-09-16 16:37:24.902314224 +0100
--------------------------
File to patch:
[3]+  Stopped                 patch -p1 <php5-mail-header.patch

I tryed finding the file but i couldnt find it either :

Code:

server1:/tmp # locate mail.c
/home/admispconfig/ispconfig/web/webmail/themes/aleborgXP/webmail.css
/home/admispconfig/ispconfig/web/webmail/themes/default/webmail.css
/home/admispconfig/ispconfig/web/webmail/themes/neotech.net/webmail.css
/opt/kde3/share/apps/kmail/about/kmail.css
/usr/lib/w3m/cgi-bin/w3mmail.cgi

Please could you help me,
Thanks,
Alex

 

You must download the PHP5 sources and unpack them. Then go to the PHP5 source directory and run

Code:

patch -p1 < /path/to/php5-mail-header.patch

Afterwards, you can compile PHP5.

 

When i compile it, would it just replace my existsing PHP5 setup on my apache server?

 

Yes, that's right.

 

Would it replace any of my config files?

 

Thanks, sorry one last question, would this also replace my ispconfig php 5 setup or not, as i dont want this to happen, i want it to only affect my normal php 5 setup

 

No, unless you use special configuration options which would install your new PHP5 in the /root/ispconfig/php directory.

 

Thanks

Alex
