Upgrading PHP 4.3.7 to PHP 4.3.8 :: Need Help - seeno - 2004-07-14

I need to upgrade PHP 4.3.7 to PHP 4.3.8 for security reasons, some kind of 'Nasty remote hole in PHP', and I have Apache 2.0.50. Now, my question is: How do I uninstall PHP and install the latest version, I think uninstalling was something like

Code:
make uninstall

or something similar (make clean?). and do I need to uninstall/reinstall Apache for the upgrade to work correctly ?

Thanks :)

Note: I'm shutting down my web server, is this paranoia? [img]<___base_url___>/uploads/emoticons/default_ph34r.png[/img]

There is no general rule for that, some authors implement a "make uninstall" rule, most don't. Best thing is to consult the docs. And for the future you may have a look at CheckInstall.
