[Solved] How to upgrade php4 to php5

[Crom]

Hi dear,

Is there any easy way to upgrade php from 4 to 5. Should I uninstall php4 and then install php5 ?

Thank in advence.

Look into the -o flag of portmaster or portupgrade.

Hi again,

I tried "portmaster -o /usr/port/lang/php5" but it failed with following conflict error.

===> Installing for php5-5.2.9

===> php5-5.2.9 conflicts with installed package(s):
php4-4.4.9

They install files into the same place.
Please remove them first with pkg_delete(1).
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/lang/php5.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/lang/php5.

===>>> Installation of php5-5.2.9 (lang/php5) failed
===>>> Aborting update

===>>> complete

Thanks in advence.

You need an extra parameter!

e.g.:

portmaster -o lang/php4 php5-5.2.9 (old -> new)
portupgrade -o lang/php5 lang/php4 (new <- old)

This may not be the exact syntax (sometimes the full version number needs to be included, which you can find in pkg_info)

Thanks a lot.

Btw: exact syntax for portmaster is :
portmaster -o /usr/ports/lang/php5 php4-4.4.9 to upgrade php5

Thanks again.
