I have inherited administration of a dedicated server running CentOS 5.2.
It is serving three live websites, among other services. I need to update
PHP from 5.2.x to 5.3 on this server.
"No problem!" I thought, "I'll just fire up yum and see what is what."
PHP is not in the package management system. It is in the yum exclusion
list, which I overrode but still have no reference to PHP at all in any
operation coming back from yum. Yet PHP is working on the system. Installed
in some manual process, I assume.
Now I am in fear of breaking things since wandering in the filesystem
without package management to guide me is outside of my comfort zone.
Am I right to be in fear? Do you have a good reference on how I could
proceed? How would you proceed?
