PHP security Upgrade
Hi, I'm using SuSE 7.3 and this keeps: - PHP 4.0.6 - Apache/1.3.20 My question is really simple: I've tried to install, for security reasons, the PHP package kept in 8.1 just performing a simple download of the rpm files. Well...also upgrading Apache, the libphp4.so module "refuses" to be loaded into apache config file. I played for hours trying to upgrade all the libs but in any case I've got: Cannot load /usr/lib/apache/libphp4.so into server: /usr/lib/apache/libphp4.so PQescapeBytea I've also installed the lasts Postgreesql packages, always from ftp.suse.com ... release 8.1 i586, but nothing ..... I gave up. But...is it possible to do the thing I did? I mean: is possible to download a package from Suse 8.1 and installing it into my 7.3 ? Otherwise how can I update my packeges without buying for the 3rd time the SuSE distribution? :) Thank you, Fabrizio --------------------------------- Yahoo!

The binary packages: mostly no 8.1 uses a newer glibc than 7.3 - and the glibc ist mostly forward-compatible, but not backwards. (means you can use a binary compiled on an older glibc, but not on a newer) But most of the time it's possible to recompile the 8.1 source-rpms under older suse versions - but this depends on a lot of things and needs sometimes some tweaking of the spec-files.

It should be possible to update the whole distribution from the ftp-server, but remember that even suse needs some money to do its good work. c'ya sven -- The Internet treats censorship as a routing problem, and routes around it. (John Gilmore on http://www.cygnus.com/~gnu/)
