I saw that Zend Opcode is now baked into PHP 5.5 so am keen to apgrade my Virtualmin / LAMP install.
Is this relatively easy and how do I go about it (remembering I’m a greenhorn to command line Linux / VPS)
Thanks for helping.

I followed the instructions at http://askubuntu.com/a/109544 and the only hiccup I found was that by default PHP was disabled in user home directories, where my document root happened to be. Commenting out that block in /etc/apache2/mods-available/php5.conf fixed it for me.
I was able to update to PHP 5.5 following the instructions on http://askubuntu.com/a/109544. But by upgrading to Apache 2.4, the config file got overwritten. And I didn’t know what to change to keep it working.
Luckily, I took a Snapshot before upgrading and then I restored from Snapshot. So everything’s back to normal now.
Take a look at this post: <a href=“http://askubuntu.com/a/109544”>http://askubuntu.com/a/109544</a> <br> <br>Give it a shot and let me know how it goes.
