Upgrading to PHP 5.3.x (Virtual Dedicated Hosting Value Linux CentOS)
oldz442 said 1 year, 1 month ago:
Currently running PHP 5.1.6 and wondering what would likely ‘break’ if I manually upgrade? ie. mcrypt, pear, etc.
Also… is it fairly easy to downgrade if needed (as it will likely break some of my scripts) using ‘yum’ for example?

Hope this helps!

Tried that earlier (link you posted) and did not work. Some msg/line after running yum about ‘Reducing blah blah’…
When I do a ‘yum search php’ though (not using that ‘CentOS-Testing.repo’ at all above). I see a bunch of php53′s…

If you are unable to upgrade your PHP version using the help article, I would suggest creating a Trouble Ticket for our server experts to review this issue and provide a resolution for you.
