I have a vps server that is in production currently.
I need to upgrade my current php 5.2 to php 5.3.
I have found the repositories here http://www.dotdeb.org
My question is how do I upgrade, keeping my current configuration?

You need only to add the repositories from dotdeb on the
/etc/apt/sources.list
file. Then useaptitude
to reload the sources and check the php packages you have.If the packages are correctly done, you should not lose any config, since configuration files are not overwritten during updates: if there's a conflict dpkg will ask what to do and you can choose to override or just save the new version with a different extension.
After that, just check the README.Debian on
/usr/share/doc/
package documentation to see if there's anything else to complete the upgrade.
