Hi

      We have installed redhat9.0 at our server.. We have registered
with redhat up2date...

      Now two points to discuss:

1.  i have upgraded the kernel with 'kernel-smp-2.4.20-28.9.i586.rpm'

    but when i am doing 'uname a' i am not seeing that the kernel is
smp..

________________________________________________________
[root at server1 up2date]# /bin/uname -a
Linux server1 2.4.20-28.9 #1 Thu Dec 18 13:53:00 EST 2003 i686 i686 i386
GNU/Linux

I am not getting why it is not showing smp,  
We have one other server, same configuration , we upgraded the server in the
same
way, there we are seiing as follows:

[root at server2 swapna]# uname -a
Linux server2 2.4.20-28.9smp #1 SMP Thu Dec 18 13:37:36 EST 2003 i686 i686 i386
GNU/Linux
_________________________________________________________

What is the reason if anybody point me out , it will be really appreciated...


2.  By default update with up2date(with rpm)  , we are gettng PHP version
php-4.2.2-17.2  and httpd  httpd-2.0.40-21.9

    Now we need the php version 4.3.4 as we are migrating the sites to this
server
and those sites are using php 4.3.4..

    So if we install the php4.3.4 from source then do we need to install the
source of httpd also ..

    When we will do 'up2date' next time , then do u think this manual 
installation will be a problem/spoiled because there are lots of libraries
which will
be upgraded by the 'up2date' rpm....

Need suggession/advice

Thanks
