Alright going to make this extremely detailed as possible.

Around May of this year my website will be completely done. With this we are going to need to change servers.

Here is the information that I need to know.

Which control panel is the best for upgrading apache, php and mysql as far as not breaking anything in the process?

I am very very picky about staying updated on the latest builds of apache, mysql and php.

However with my current server I have ran into many many problems with compiling php and installing mysql.

I have Redhat Enterprise 3 w/ Plesk

Right now I use atomicrocketturtle to upgrade php and mysql but when I do it like that I do not get to compile php with my own extensions.

If I try to compile php myself on my current server I run into many problems. One being it tells me I am running apache 1 and not apache 2. This is dealing with the aspx configure extentsion

The next problem comes with mysql and pointing to the new usr libraries.

I havent and wont attempt to upgrade apache from 2.0.46 to the latest build do to the fact that I can not succesfully upgrade php and mysql myself.

So you guys with control panels that have upgraded apache, php and mysql yourself how did you do this and with what control panel? What operating system did you do this on?

I really need help.

Erwin and eva what Control panel and Operating systems do you use and do you have any issues updating these components?

I have searched my heart out and can not come up with any answers. I have asked questions here regarding my issues with compiling php but no one seems to know.

Thanks

Does Cpanel and WHM allow me to upgrade apache, mysql and php through the control panel or do I still have to do it myself?? Can't seem to find that in their documentation.

Apache and PHP - yes. MySQL is automatically updated depending on your update settings.
