Update PHP on Virtualmin

I’m using Virtualmin to manage some servers (both physical or VPS) and I’m pretty confidence to say that this is the best freeware for server control panel.

Virtualmin currently provide PHP 5.1 (I’m using CentOS 5.5) and here’s how to upgrade its PHP version to 5.2. This command will activate Bleeding Edge Packages for CentOS/RHEL 5 on Virtualmin:

[root@server01 ~]# rpm -ivh https://software.virtualmin.com/bleed/centos/5/i386/virtualmin-bleed-release-1.0-1.rhel.noarch.rpm

After that, simply run following command to update PHP:

[root@server01 ~]# yum update php

And just answer “yes” when your system ask. Update process will just take a few seconds to complete.
