Hello,
I need help udating this distro. I just did the update and found that we need an updated update.
For the time I would like to ask you guys to help me with a simple guide about updating the following packages in FC3
The updates I need are:
- Apache 2.0.53 (this is not so much of a problem) - MySQL 4.1.10 (Current: 3.23.58!) - PHP 5.0.3 with zend optimizer 2.5.7 (Current: 4.3.10) AND a mysqli extension
Here's the guide I use:
Step 1 - log on Step 2 - get root privilege using "su -" command (no quotes) Step 3 - enter the correct password when prompted Step 4 - enter "yum -y update" (no quotes) Step 5 - watch it go Step 6 - enter "exit" (no quotes) when it is finished Step 7 - Log off and wait for the next set of updates to be available
Optional step 6.5 - Do normal work on newly updated system
:-)
IF you know such and such a package needs to be updated and you get errors like "not found", it's because all the various mirror sites are not in sync... yum will go through a list of mirror sites looking for stuff.
If you get a message like "no updates needed", and you KNOW there are updates, try the yum command again. It will look at a different mirror to get the lit of what's available.
