Upgrade libxml and libxml2 in linux server

1

Currently, I already have libxml version 2.6.16 in the server. We have a new project to be deployed which uses Symfony Framework and uses a higher version of libxml and it is at least 2.6.21. In addition, we are using Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4. My question now is what should I do and if needed to upgrade how can I upgrade it?

UPDATE after this command rpm -Uvh libxml2*.rpm

I got this : 

warning: only V3 signatures can be verified, skipping V4 signature

You can download an RPM from here: xmlsoft and use rpm -Uvh libxml*.rpm in the same folder. The oldest version available is 2.7.2

This may trigger a dependency nightmare cascade. You may be forced to update dozens of other programs and/or libraries.

I would suggest backing up the server. Then using apt-get upgrade or apt-get update to update the whole system. If you don't have apt-get use whatever package manager you have.

where can I download this php_ldap.dll and in regards with the 81 dependencies, I also need to download each one of them and install again? – Errorhere – 2015-09-11T02:15:58.357

vi /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini and vi /etc/php5/cli/php.ini and comment out with a # symbol the extension for php_ldap.dll so we can deal with that problem later. – cybernard – 2015-09-11T02:29:29.797

how can I install this php_ldap.dll? – Errorhere – 2015-09-11T02:32:01.963

You said again? Did you download 81 rpm files the first time? Remember you need to find versions that are only slightly newer than the verisions listed above as the newest ones will cause a cascade resulting in updating every package to the newest version. If your going to do that you might as well upgrade to RHEL 7. – cybernard – 2015-09-11T02:32:22.610

You need to manually find the rpm that contains the php_ldap.dll file. I don't know which one it is. – cybernard – 2015-09-11T02:34:32.110

so you mean I don't need to download the php_ldap.dll but instead I will find another version of rpm that already have the php_ldap.dll, Is this what you mean? – Errorhere – 2015-09-11T02:50:49.610

That IS what i mean. YES – cybernard – 2015-09-11T02:54:48.137

can you suggest any version? I am just kinda confuse , but this one libxml2-2.7.2-1.x86_64.rpm , is this the one that I need to change or you mean the dependencies that must be higher than its needed? – Errorhere – 2015-09-11T02:58:46.817

@cybernard : can you check out our chat, because I post something there,,, thanks a lot :) – Errorhere – 2015-11-13T02:31:17.190

@cybernard: can you please check out our chat box ,, please, thanks :) wait you there.. – Errorhere – 2015-11-13T14:08:09.193
