Hi, I have multiserver setup on debian squeeze with ispconfig 3.0.5.4p8 with php PHP 5.3.3-7, and need to upgrade php, what is the easiest and safest method to do this? thank you for your time!.
The easy way is using 3rd party repositories like https://www.dotdeb.org/ - however they tend to support only the latest stable release AND some customers did notice issues from time to time ( segfaults and other funky stuff ) so I wouldn't say it's a safe method. You probably want / need to compile PHP and add it as additional version to your ISPConfig. There are some howtos here to do that.
Hi ztk.me, thanks for your reply, but where are the howtos for debian squeeze as I can only find one for ubuntu and debian wheezy.
They should not differ much, maybe some dependency versions are a bit older. I'd try to use the wheezy howto.
Instead of updating the PHP-Version, bette upgrade the server to wheezy or jessie. You won`t receive any updates for squeezy any more. Even the lts-support was dropped a few weeks ago.
Even this works, Debian 6 does not receive further support so if you compile software or anything else, you're stuck with old software, for example old and possible vulnerable openssl implementation. So basically there's a lot to do, but I don't know what environment you're at and maybe you have good reasons to run with old debian ....
