PHP 4.3.0 Help!!!!!

[Tekron-X]

Hey I want to upgrade from 4.2.3 to 4.3.0. Now should I use the SAPI or CGI? I am running Apache 1.3.x and curently running the CGI of PHP 4.2.3. Should I do a clean install of Apache and the php 4.3.0? That is all the Q's for now :)

you don't need to reinstall apache, just php. The reinstall is clear. Just overwrite php.ini and the configurations needed for apache. ISAPI is recommended; anyway I use cgi.. if you plan to use apache in windows a a real server (not test), read the related securiy documentation.

It is going to be a test server so it is only available to my network so I guess it really does not matter.

then cgi is fine

good luck

Got it installed and works great. I am having trouble with some extensions though you might have read that post ?

Sigh why does it always take three days to install a new version of PHP?. This time I could not get a manual configuration to work. The documentation leaves a lot to be desired. First of all it shows the use of "path" in the ini file. I had a hell of a time getting the extensions to work because of this. DON'T USE QUOTES ON THE PATHS. When in acuality the use of quotes will stop the file from being read. There is also the matter of the creation of the uploadtemp folder and the sessiondata folder which not mentioned at all in the install documentation. I had to discover these by first using the windows installer and watching what it does under an advanced install.

Caveat:There may also be some other undocumented installion parameters done to the registry. So use the installer.

I wanted to use ISAPI version so then modifying the installation using the manual files was the only way to get it to work. So to get this to work you have to dowload both the Windows version and the manual version to get the dlls.
