PHP5 5.3.6

Or it still will break something, If I do it that way?

Did you try it ... ?

I have done this and had trouble. I think if you read the Super-Poussin post he makes the point that it is not compatible and you need to be very careful about moving from one to another.

Do do this, I did this:

1/ Remove the super-poussin add-on.

2/ Log into the NAS using ssh, change to /etc, and search for "php" using find, like this:

find . -name \*php\* -print

3/ Look at each file found, see if you should be keeping this or manually deleting it.

4/ Search inside all the files (esp those used by apache) to see if any references to php are left. Use something like this:

grep -r -l -i "php" .

5/ Check those files carefully, you may have configuration lines to remove.

6/ When all satisfied that the php add-on is completely removed, reboot the NAS.

7/ Add the new php add-on from Who-Cares.

I remember taht after removing WhoCares addon, frontview failed to start, because apache had references to nox existing php libraries, which had to be removed manually... :roll:

Maybe If I dig around a bit I'll find my old post about that issue...

Yes... here it is:

Only thing what I had to do is edit /etc/frontview/apache/addons/php5.conf and remove first line from it which says: LoadModule php5_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/libphp5.so Issue is that uninstalling this addon leaves that line there, preventing apache from starting. If you try to start apache-ssl manually from shell: apache-ssl -f /etc/frontview/apache/httpd.conf It already says whats wrong. apache-ssl: Syntax error on line 261 of /etc/frontview/apache/httpd.conf: Syntax error on line 1 of /etc/frontview/apache/addons/php5.conf: Cannot load /usr/lib/apache2/modules/libphp5.so into server: /usr/lib/apache2/modules/libphp5.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Should work also, if you delete php5.conf and edit httpd.conf accordingly...

Maybe WhoCares can comment this a bit?
Because I really need a newer PHP... :roll:

I'd say the instructions in the post from quickly_now quite nails it. To be extra sure you can look for leftovers from the old PHP add-on by doing this:

cd /etc/frontview
find . -name "*PHP*"

Also, to make sure that apache will start up correctly after removing an add-on, you can do

apache-ssl -f /etc/frontview/apache/httpd.conf -t

and check the output for any error messages.

And if you run into trouble, just ask for remote assistance using Teamviewer ;)

Worked like a charm...thank you :)

Hello Etz,

Could you please explain me once again the procedure you have followed to have php5 functional on your readynas ? I'm still stuck to get PhpMyAdmin working... (http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=48440#p322367)

Thank you in advance.
