Topic: updating/installing from php 5.3 to php 5.4

Hello,

I've been trying for 2 days now to update/install php 5.4 on our test server (CentOS 6.7). I enabled remi repo.
When I try "yum install php" I get the errors:

Error: Package: php-5.4.45-3.el6.remi.x86_64 (remi)
           Requires: httpd-mmn = 20051115
Error: Package: php-5.4.45-3.el6.remi.x86_64 (remi)
           Requires: ht tpd

when I try "yum update php" it shows:
Package(s) php available, but not installed.
No Packages marked for Update

I'm pretty new at this and I have no idea how to get php 5.4 working sad

Re: updating/installing from php 5.3 to php 5.4

php (which is mod_php) requires httpd....
Which is available in base package.

Please paste full output from:
yum repolist

Yum should automatically pull them.

it looks like a openvz box, which, IIRC, are heavily altered... not really CentOS.

Search for "exclude" directives in yum and repositories configuration:

grep exclude /etc/yum.repos.d/*repo /etc/yum.conf

And 

yum list '*httpd*'

Re: updating/installing from php 5.3 to php 5.4

> should I remove httpd* from yum.conf exclude line?

Obviously, this is the reason why you can't find httpd.
Don't know why this exclude is there
Don't know what can break when httpd is installed on a openvz box.

So removing it will allow you to install httpd (and thus php)
But without any warranty, this is NOT a CentOS box, too much altered.

Re: updating/installing from php 5.3 to php 5.4

Hi Remi,
Thanks a lot for your help.
After install rpm -qa | grep php now outputs:

php-cli-5.4.45-3.el6.remi.x86_64
php-5.4.45-3.el6.remi.x86_64
php-common-5.4.45-3.el6.remi.x86_64
php-devel-5.4.45-3.el6.remi.x86_64

however, version still at 5.3:

# php -v

    with Zend Guard Loader v3.3, Copyright (c) 1998-2010, by Zend Technologies

I tried restarting ht tpd service, but now I get these errors:

# service httpd restart
Stopping ht tpd:                                            [FAILED]

                                                           [FAILED]

Any idea?

Re: updating/installing from php 5.3 to php 5.4

So you have a manually build version of PHP 5.3 installed in /usr/local/bin

You have to clean it.

But again, be aware of my previous comment, "you are not using CentOS", probably this is going to break most of stuff on this box.
