Hi, what is the safest way to upgrade the Wowza AMI 1.1.4 Python version to 2.5+?

Could you provide a command line? is it a simple configure, make, install or are there any special settings required for this linux distro?

I have a backup image so rollback is easy enough.

thanks

I would suggest you move to the new AMI (1.1.5). We are now using Fedora Core 8 which might already include a newer version of Python. If not the command line woud be something like:

```auto
yum update python

```

That will give you the most recent version available through yum. If that still is not new enough then you will need to find another source for a 2.6 rpm.
