If you have installed the 4.3.2 php, your in for a little adventure in order to upgrade to the latest Webppliance. Here's what we had to do just to be able to upgrade.

BTW, these instructions are to be done at your own risk. I cannot garuntee what affect this will have on your box as we all have unsupported configurations were trying to recover from.

Ok, back to the instructions...

If you are on webpliance 3.5.15 do the following

First lets fetch the original rpms.
cd /home/admin
mkdir orig.php.ensim.3.5.15
cd orig.php.ensim.3.5.15
wget ftp://ftp2.ensim.com/apt/ensim/LWP/3.5.15...nsim10.i386.rpm
wget ftp://ftp2.ensim.com/apt/ensim/LWP/3.5.15...nsim10.i386.rpm
wget ftp://ftp2.ensim.com/apt/ensim/LWP/3.5.15...nsim10.i386.rpm
wget ftp://ftp2.ensim.com/apt/ensim/LWP/3.5.15...nsim10.i386.rpm
wget ftp://ftp2.ensim.com/apt/ensim/LWP/3.5.15...nsim10.i386.rpm
wget ftp://ftp2.ensim.com/apt/ensim/LWP/3.5.15...nsim10.i386.rpm
wget ftp://ftp2.ensim.com/apt/ensim/LWP/3.5.15...nsim10.i386.rpm
wget ftp://ftp2.ensim.com/apt/ensim/LWP/3.5.15...nsim10.i386.rpm
wget ftp://ftp2.ensim.com/apt/ensim/LWP/3.5.15...nsim10.i386.rpm
wget ftp://ftp2.ensim.com/apt/ensim/LWP/3.5.15...nsim10.i386.rpm
wget ftp://ftp2.ensim.com/apt/ensim/LWP/3.5.15...nsim10.i386.rpm
wget ftp://ftp2.ensim.com/apt/ensim/LWP/3.5.15...msim10.i386.rpm
wget ftp://ftp2.ensim.com/apt/ensim/LWP/3.5.15...95.2-2.i386.rpm

Now lets uninstall php 4.3.2.
rpm -e --nodeps expat `rpm -q -a | grep php- | grep -v webppliance|sort`

Now lets reinstall the original php
rpm -ivh /home/admin/orig.php.ensim.3.5.15/*.rpm

That's it, you should now be able to upgrade to ensim 3.5.16 so that you can get to 3.5.17

Good luck!


Oh, after you upgrade to ensim 3.5.17 and you plan to reinstall the 4.3.2 patch, I strongly recomend you back up a copy of all the new original php files so you can revert back for the next ensim upgrade:

Here's the steps to do that:
cd /home/admin
mkdir orig.php.ensim.3.5.17
cd orig.php.ensim.3.5.17
cp /path_to_wherever_you_extracted_LS-3.5.17-2.tar.gz/LS-3.5.17-2/LS-3.5.17-2/php*.rpm .

I upgraded from Ensim Pro 3.5.16 to 3.5.17 without having to uninstall gpan's PHP 4.3.2 rpm. Several others have too according to their posts in the HowTo for Ensim Pro 3.5.17

This is for 3.5.15 to 3.5.17

I see. My mistake. I never had any problems goign from 3.5.15 to 3.5.16 with gpan's rpms either.

Good info for those that do I guess.

Jon

Yeah, the other thing is since we may have afull upgrade later, I belive we shoudl keep a copy of the original php file for ensim, cause you know we will haev another upgrade to come which will we will have to downgrade.

We didnt uninstall gpan's rpm either, above looks like a big waste of time to me

You upgraded a Ensim Pro 3.5.15 box with php 4.3.2 installed to Ensim Pro 3.5.17 without having to workaround the error from the Ensim installer in regards to the unknown php version? I'd love to see how you did that

Hi.. sounds good and what you guys have posted seems to be the only way to do it, but what if your upgrading from WEBppliance Pro 3.5.4-2 ... how can i get the original rpm's ??
