php upgrade help!

Tuesday 18 January 2005 6:42:20 pm

I was told that I need to upgrade my version of php because of this error message:
-------------------------------
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: file_get_contents() in /home/webadmin/softballcricket.com/html/ezp/lib/eztemplate/classes/eztemplatefileresource.php on line 245
Fatal error: eZ publish did not finish its request

The execution of eZ publish was abruptly ended, the debug output is present below.
-------------------------------
After attempting to upgrade the php version it failed and so I'm looking for help.

Could someone help me here.

Thanks

I would like to upgrade to php version 4.3.10.

<b>The server environment</b>:
Apache/1.3.27 (Unix) (Red-Hat/Linux) mod_ssl/2.8.12 OpenSSL/0.9.6 PHP/4.1.2 mod_perl/1.27 FrontPage/5.0.2.2623
<b>Operating system</b>:
Linux version 2.4.20-021stab022.6.777-enterprise
([email protected]) (gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.3 2.96-110))
#1 SMP Wed Oct 20 18:07:57 MSD 2004
<b>Host</b>Server4you-Virtual Private Server (VPS) with root access to install upgrades, software or applications.
<b>WWW</b>http://www.softballcricket.com/ezp

When I attempted to do this upgrade (a most difficult task compared to EZP), I got several dependencies messages.
I have EZP on another server and I'm beginning to learn how to use it and prefer it over MT. I will do almost anything to be able to complete this upgrade.

There is some good installation information in the PHP manual:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.unix.php#install.unix.apache

But you can most likely skip the apache compiling step. (step 1 to 8).
