Upgrading PHP LSAPI

[kuts]

So there's a new version of PHP LSAPI and LiteSpeed 3.3.10

I already upgraded to 3.3.10. Will recompiling PHP via LS admin panel upgrade to the latest version of PHP LSAPI?

 

[anewday]

Yeah it should.

 

[kuts]

how do you determine the PHP LSAPI version you're currently using anyway?

 

[mistwang]

Not possible now, will add a version number in the phpinfo page.
Anyway, the web console will always use the latest version.

@mistwang

just to confirm, recompiling the php will update the lsapi to the latest version?

 

[mistwang]

Yes, that's correct.

 

[brrr]

Cool.

Can I suggest that this info (ie 'recompiling PHP will update the LSAPI to the latest version') was in the FAQ or in the LSWS/LSAPI readme.

I was puzzling over this myself.

I just tried compiling PHP 4.4.8 on LSWS Std 3.3.10, running on CentOS 4.6 on a OpenVZ VPS.

It failed at step 1 and I got the following error message:

ERROR: Unable to detect download method (install curl, fetch, or wget)

Both wget and curl are however available on the server and LSWS has never had any problems downloading updates etc before.

I tried the PHP 4.4.8 upgrade using the standard configure switches and I also ticked the Suhosin box and the eAccelerator box.

Suggestions?

OK, I reset the permissions on wget and gcc to 0755 as suggested elsewhere in the forum.

Now wget works and the php sources etc successfully download.

Now however buildconf gets some sort of permission errors on /dev/null or something and the upgrade aborts.

Here is the last part of the relevant install log:

You need autoconf version 2.13 or newer installed

Buildconf however already has permissions set as 0755.

Any suggestions?

/dev/null has permission problem not buildconf script.
