Debian etch: PHP5 Installation

A freshly installed Debian etch server uses php4 as its default php engine. To changes it you have to remove the following package.

- php4-common
- libapache2-mod-php4

To remove them, use the following command:

# apt-get remove php4-common
# apt-get remove libapache2-mod-php4

Install then the following, php5, libapache2-mod-php5 by issuing the following command :

# apt-get install php5
# apt-get remove libapache2-mod-php5
