Good afternoon,<br />
<br />
I am running into some difficulty upgrading PHP 5.3.6 to version 5.5x on an Ubuntu 11.10 (GNU/Linux 3.0.0-22-server x86_64) virtual machine.<br />
<br />
We have used the following commands:<br />
<br />
sudo apt-get update &amp;&amp;&nbsp;sudo apt-get install python-software-properties<wbr /><br />
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php5<br />
sudo apt-get update &amp;&amp;&nbsp;sudo apt-get dist-upgrade<br />
<br />
Everything seems to successfully download and install without errors. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
After restarting Apache2 and even rebooting the machine, when running the command &quot;php -v&quot; it shows that we are still running PHP 5.3.6<br />
<br />
Can someone please advise if we are missing any steps to successfully upgrade to version 5.5x?<br />
<br />
Thank you
