Topic: How to Upgrade to PHP 5.2.10 on CentOS5 x64?

Hi,

I'm trying to upgrade my PHP version on a CentOS 5 box but it seems to stop at a warning. Here's what I've done so far:

1. Installed the epel and remi repos per the Repo Config guide posted by remi

2. Copied http://rpms.famillecollet.com/remi-enterprise.repo into /etc/yum.repos.d

3. Output from running yum update is below:

# yum --enablerepo=remi --enablerepo=epel --disablerepo=rpmforge --disableplugin=priorities update php php-pdo php-imap php-xml php-xmlrpc php-gd php-odbc

After that warning, I see that php hasn't really updated:

Could someone help me figure out what I'm doing wrong?

This warning is only a warning I have add to inform user that this is not an official RPM.

What does yum output after this ?

Remi - yum exits immediately after the warning. There are no other messages.

After yum exits, checking php -v shows that the update hasn't occurred. I rebooted the server as well but that does not help either.

I never encountered this issue before...
Is your system updated ?

try to install the downloaded RPM manually (should stored in /var/cache/yum/remi/packages).
All in a single transaction

Re: How to Upgrade to PHP 5.2.10 on CentOS5 x64?

Hi remi,

Looking at the yum install log above, I noticed that a few packages namely libXaw, libXmu and t1lib did not have RPMs in the path you have mentioned.

I first installed these, followed by the sqlite RPMs and finally all the php RPMs. The installation went off without a hitch and I'm now running PHP 5.2.10

I was trying to install this on a VPS, so I can't really take the risk of running yum update for fear of breaking something.

Hi,

You can get the packages for php-5.2.10-1 from here.
But I think you should go with 5.2.17 if you absolutely need to use php-5.2.x. See the Changelog for any updates between those versions that might brake your development environment.

Regards
