Topic: Update PHP 5.2 in RHEL 5

Hi, Remi:

I am trying upgrade php (PHP 5.1.6 (cli)) in our RHEL 5 server.  Through google search, I found your website for some solutions. Unfortunately, the steps described in your website seems not working.

(Step 1):  I met success 

# rpm -Uvh http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterpris … ease-5.rpm

(Step 2):  I met a failure

# yum --enablerepo=remi update php

Transaction Check Error:

Error Summary
-------------

(Step 3). After searching in your website, I found one old page saying that you can upgrade php without upgrading mysql by doing the following:

# yum --enablerepo=remi install mysqlclient16

(Step 4). Then, I repeat (Step 3), but I still got the same error.

How can I proceed? Any help will be highly appreciated.

Re: Update PHP 5.2 in RHEL 5

If you don't want to update mysql, first, you need to install compat-mysql55 (from remi-test)

Else you need to update mysql first.

Re: Update PHP 5.2 in RHEL 5

Remi:

Thank you so much for your help. I did successfully upgrade PHP from 5.1.6 to 5.3.6 in RHEL 5.6 without upgrading mysql. I have summarized the steps that I took, which might be beneficial to other readers. As you can see below, however, I encountered a new problem. If you can provide any suggestion or comment, I should be grateful.

Step 1:
rpm -Uvh http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterpris … ease-5.rpm
Step 2:
yum --enablerepo=remi-test install compat.mysql55
Step 3:
rpm -ivh http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterpris … x86_64.rpm
Step 4:
yum --enablerepo=remi update php-\*

Then, PHP has been successfully upgraded, with the following warning:

[root@liang ~]# php -v

Re: Update PHP 5.2 in RHEL 5

The basic PHP for web scripting and without upgrading MySQL as well as described later in this document is obsolete and prone to security issues and with the exception of zero argument class constructor functions.
