[Solved] Replacing PHP with newer version

Hia, I just joined this forum because I'm a bit in a hooey with LiteSpeed.
So, uh... I have a 128MB VPS that I'm using as a small web server. I'm trying to update PHP, but the problem is, it doesn't want to compile because of the lack of memory!
So, I downloaded VMware Player on my computer, and compiled PHP on that, I have all the files now.

Now, how do I transfer all the settings and stuff to the small VPS? I've tried copying phpbuild to the server, and using ./configure, with no luck.

I also tried overwriting fcgi-bin and copied lsphp5 to the server. Again, no luck.

Is it possible to replace PHP with the already compiled binaries?

Thanks,
r4ym0nf.

yes. copy over the binary and its dependent libraries , it will work.

use ldd to locate the dependencies. an example FYI:
/usr/local/lsws/fcgi-bin>ldd lsphp-5.3.23
linux-gate.so.1 => (0x00b2d000)
libcrypt.so.1 => /lib/libcrypt.so.1 (0x00410000)
libresolv.so.2 => /lib/libresolv.so.2 (0x008be000)
librt.so.1 => /lib/librt.so.1 (0x0062c000)
libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x005d0000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x005c9000)
libnsl.so.1 => /lib/libnsl.so.1 (0x00699000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x0046e000)
libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x005fb000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x0044f000)

Sorry, I forgot to say that I'm a Linux nub (I derived that from Linux nut, as my teacher calls me :S), so I have no idea where:
linux-gate.so.1 => (0x00b2d000)
libcrypt.so.1 => /lib/libcrypt.so.1 (0x00410000)
libresolv.so.2 => /lib/libresolv.so.2 (0x008be000)
librt.so.1 => /lib/librt.so.1 (0x0062c000)
libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x005d0000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x005c9000)
libnsl.so.1 => /lib/libnsl.so.1 (0x00699000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x0046e000)
libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x005fb000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x0044f000)
is. Sorry. ;_;
Could you please explain where they are?

The 2 systems are both Debian 6.

Thanks,

just explain 1 line:
libresolv.so.2 => /lib/libresolv.so.2 (0x008be000)

this means lsphp-5.3.23 need /lib/libresolv.so.2

check your 128MB VPS, if /lib/libresolv.so.2 exist, if not, copy this file from VMware Player, with same location.

it should work, just like you compile php from the VPS.
any error message when you run at command line:
#/usr/local/lsws/fcgi-bin/lsphp5 -i

Ah, I see. When I load the server up with WinSCP, it has that little red shortcut mark, so I'll go see what went wrong on VMware.

Okay, so that worked for a little while, then I noticed it wasn't loading php.ini since the VPS had LS installed at /ls/, where the VM had the default path.

So, I reinstalled the VPS to have the same location, but now I'm getting 503 errors when I try to use phpinfo();.

So, I then tried to remove lsphp4 from External Applications because I thought it was the culprit. Nope.

Code: 
[#Example] connection to [/tmp/lshttpd/lsphp5.sock] on request #0, confirmed, 0, associated process: -1, running: 0, error: Connection reset by peer!

Is it a memory problem?

very likely because you only have 128MB. check memory_limit in php.ini and memory limit (soft/hard) in LSWS (Admin Console => Configuration => Server => External App => lsphp5). make sure memory_limit in php.ini < (less than) memory_limt (soft/hard) in LSWS < 128MB.

I set it to 3(s)2-60(h)MB, still the same error. :S

Yes! It works now.
I have decided it's Debian. I installed Ubuntu and for some reason, with the same steps as I did with Debian, it just works. It magically works.
Now, the only problem is MySQL, which I should get working with 10.04.

Thanks for all the help!
