Upgrading PHP & Jailed Users

First, I'd like to say that ISPConfig is awesome. You guys rule.

Issue #1
ISPConfig Perfect setup installed PHP Version 4.3.9 on my CentOS 4.6 server. I however need to upgrade to at least PHP 5, however not PHP 5.0.4 due to application compatibility. Are there any other applications I need to upgrade to do this and is there a good tutorial on doing it?

Issue #2
I created a user for FTP for my host website. This user is able to browse all the way to the root directory. Is there a setting I missed to stop this? I do have him checked as "Administrator" in his permissions on the panel, however could you provide some clarification as to what this means?

 

For those needing to run PHP5 on CentOS 4.6 do this

To replace php-4.3.9 to php-5.x.x, you must remove php-domxml first and then do:

yum --enablerepo=centosplus upgrade php*

or to do and install, use this command:

yum --enablerepo=centosplus --exclude=php-domxml install php*

(or install individually the files that you need)​

However, when I type yum remove php-domxml it says "No packages marked for removal"

Does this mean that the second option would work for me?

Thanks for the fast reply till

 

Here is what I have for my proftpd.conf

Code:

# Use this to excude users from the chroot
DefaultRoot                     ~ !adm

Looks correct to me

 

When attempting to update to php5 through yum I get this error at the end of the download:

Code:

Error: php-pecl-apc conflicts with php-eaccelerator
Error: Missing Dependency: php = 4.3.9 is needed by package php-mmcache
Error: Missing Dependency: libssh2.so is needed by package php-pecl-ssh2
Error: Missing Dependency: libssh2 is needed by package php-pecl-ssh2
Error: Missing Dependency: php-pecl(Xdebug) is needed by package php-pear-PHPUnit2
Error: php-pecl-apc conflicts with php-mmcache
Error: php-eaccelerator conflicts with php-mmcache

 

When I SSH'd in I typed cd / and ls and it displays everything =[ The only ftp software I'm running is proftpd.

I will say that when I try to edit any files it says permission denied, however I'd be more comfortable if people couldn't go beyond their folders.

As for locate proftpd.conf

 

haha, my bad. I'm getting used to stuff around here. =P

Is there a solution though?

 

Use an FTP client such as FileZilla.
