Congratulations guys!
You're fast!
Anyways... I can't wait till May. I neeed help now! If its not possible to update it following the structure FC3 haves, then the solution will be:
Uninstall My current php, mysql and apache packages.
The upgrading tools will do just that, upgrade from the older versions to the newer version. In either your yum or up2date configuration files is a line that refers to a Development repository. If you uncomment the lines you can upgrade httpd, php and mysql to the versions that are in rawhide.
(httpd-2.0.53-4, mysql-4.1.9-1 and php-5.0.3-2).
For yum, you can enable the repo temporarily as explained in earlier postings to the list. You should be able to find the commands to use in the yum documentation.
The updating programs are also called dep resolvers and should pull in any needed packages required to upgrade php, httpd and mysql to the versions you require.
As commented earlier in this thread, "rawhide" (development) can lead ti instabilities. I'm running it now and there are a few flukes, but pulling in the programs you want with their required library versions might fit your needs and not cause instabilities. (No promises though). :-)
I use up2date, you would edit /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources to include a development repo. From the commandline as root you would run
up2date httpd php mysql --nosig
and let the upgrade/depsolver tool do the installation of packages.
After you get the desired programs, comment the lines out in the config file mentioned above, that refer to development and you should be back to FC3 updates again.
It sounds like for your intentions, running yum commands to temporarily enable te repos might be your best option.

I think rpm allows me to update these but I sincerely don't know...
If there is a way of doing this the easy way, send it, if not, tell me the hard way. I don't mind formating and reinstalling...
But i need PHP5, Mysql 4.1 and Apache 2.53 installed and fully functional ASAP
Thank you for your support guys!
