Hello everybody. I am trying to update PHP from 5.2.6 to 5.2.9. There are some major bug fixes that I need implemented. The problem is that apt-get is not installing any PHP version higher than 5.2.6! The install of Ubuntu was 8.04 and then was upgraded to 8.10 due to the PHP limits of the 8.04 release... but I am not getting PHP 5.2.9? Any help would be appreciated!

Has nobody really run into this? I am astounded that I haven't been able to find anything on these forums or Google!:confused:

I ended up adding a new repository location to my list that had the package (dotdeb.org)...

I was wondering about this as well. Glad you found a way to get 5.2.9. Thanks.

I added :

deb http://packages.dotdeb.org/ oldstable all

Then ran :

apt-get update
apt-get install php5-cli

Hope this helps somebody like me when I was looking for it. :)

Just to follow up; if you start using third-party application distros, make sure to read their forums and comments on their site. For example, there were some naming inconsistency which stopped me from installing a progress bar module.

Hi,

This no longer works... Seems dotdeb moved 'oldstable' to http://archives.dotdeb.org/

To add insult to injury, 'oldstable' is no longer used as a naming convention. I now have to choose from: etch, lenny, sarge, woody.

Which is the correct repo for Ubuntu 8.04?

Thanks.
