LAPP/WAPP/MAPP Stack: How to upgrade to Php 5.3.x?

Hi to all.

I’m a LAPP/WAPP/MAPP Stack noob.

I need to update to php 5.3.x: do you guys have any tips, hints, resources on how to accomplish this task?

Thank you in advance for your eventual kind contributions.

Generally speaking, bundled stacks are not such easy to come with those cutting edge sharps, for it is cooperation rather than fashion when you use the stack as a platform for either development or production. It does require an interval at least for stable test before deliverying updated package(s) into the bundle. Anyhow, if you have to catch up with the art, prepare you development environment and time and mind and temper might be essential ;-) For your ?APP stack to build from php-5.3.x source, you may also need those of apache and postgres as well … Good luck ;-)

Hi,

On Windows is easy, you should only replate the php folder with the new one. For other platforms is more difficult because it is necessary to recompile the binaries and dependencies. Update PHP to 5.3x is on our TODO list.

Can you please let me know when the new upgrade is estimated to be released?

Many thanks :)

Hi,

it is already a work in progress but will take some time. Sorry, I am not able to give you any estimation. We need to make sure that all BitNami stacks and its dependencies works fine with PHP 5.3 on all supported platforms. It is a major step and “better to be safe than sorry” :)

Why not PHP v5.3 update?

Thanks

Hi,

After testing most of the current PHP Applications in BitNami, we noticed that most of them do not support PHP 5.3 currently so we decided to continue using PHP 5.2.X version. We are considering to create a LAMP Stack for developer that it includes this version but you can not install any bitnami application modules.
