yes, i know that this is possible.
I want to upgrade to php5. This is the reason why i had to upgrade this machine.

Because i got an error on an test machine (see: PR pkg 40436;
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/pkgsrc-bugs/2009/01/19/msg030464.html).

which i did not get on with the older version.

I don`t know if this error causes an crash of the mysql-server.
Because the machine is an production machine from an customer.
It runs an large typo3-Site with heavy load and some tracking tools
which also causes heavy loads.
