Decided to do some long overdue software updating last week on one of our Fedora servers.  We are now running OpenSSL 1.0.2e, CURL 7.47.7 with HTTP/2, Apache 2.4.18 with HTTP/2 and PHP 5.5.32.   Our main web app still uses PHP's mysql interface which is now deprected.  We are having to change to mysqli which is easy for the most part just takes time to make some of the necessary changes.  Some places have direct mysql calls but most have them in wrapper functions so it will be easy to update.


As of today (02/26/2016), it appears all the mysql functions have been switched to mysqli.  Yay.  Might just go ahead with PHP 5.6 or 7 soon.  Not enough hours in the day.

The Fedora server is still version 8 by name but that is just about where it stops.  Being a geek, I update things using the source and build them myself... tweek here and there never hurts either :)
