Currently the server's version is 5.1.6 and I need access to the hooks implemented in version 5.2.x and the
APC extension. I think the server is running Red Hat or Fedora but I could be wrong. I know it's not Debian.<br><br>Is it as simple as untaring the source and the usual configure>make>make install steps or is there more to it? Also, once upgraded, is installing the APC extension difficult? <br><br>Thanks in advance for any help :) I'd be willing to look at alternatives too if somebody can suggest any.<br><br> Chris<br> _______________________________________________<br>dundee GNU/Linux Users Group mailing list<br>dundee@lists.lug.org.uk http://dundee.lug.org.uk<br>https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/dundee<br>Chat on IRC, #tlug on dundee.lug.org.uk</blockquote><br><p>
