THe server that i am using at present (a VPS) is running an old version of PHP4. I want to upgrade to PHP5 but not sure how. I have become aware that you need to unistall php4 before installing php5?
Any direction appreciated

Firstly we'll need to know what distro you're using. Redhat, Fedora, CentOS, Debian? Secondly: have you got SSH (command line) access and access to the root account?
If you do have SSH access, try typing this at the prompt:
cat /proc/versionThat should tell us what you're using.

I don't believe it's necessary to remove PHP4, depending on the system you are running. If you install PHP5 to a different location (or let your package manager do it), all you have to do is configure Apache to use PHP5.
