Fri, 01 Jul 2011 16:00:40 +0000

Hello. I’m trying to make my own website. and I have stuff such as moodle, PHPmyadmin, WordPress, etc.. asking me to upgrade my PHP.
I did yum update and it didn’t have an updated package for it.
apt-get doesn’t work.
My VPS runs Apache/2.2.3 (CentOS)
MySQL is installed. Though I have to use SSH.
Errors such as
Sorry, Moodle 2.0 requires PHP 5.2.8 or later (currently using version 5.1.6).
Please upgrade your server software or install latest Moodle 1.9.x instead.
PHPmyadmin = PHP 5.2 is required

FYI, I’m a linux newb.. So I’m new to this..

Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
Server version: 5.0.45 Source distribution

Type ‘help;’ or ‘\h’ for help. Type ‘\c’ to clear the buffer.

mysql> create database newdb;
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON newdb.* TO newdbuser@localhost IDENTIFIED BY ‘password_for_newdbuser’;

To test if it’s created, run this command:
> mysql -u newdbuser -p
Enter password:
