I haven't used that app (so I don't know if the advise is sound) ... but
there is a CentOS built (though unsupported) version of php-5 in the
CentOSPlus repository:
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/centosplus/Readme.txt
Unsupported is a relative term ... it is a better fit for CentOS-4 than just
about any other way to get php-5.
If you are going to enable the centosplus repo, I highly recommend that you
read:
man yum.conf
And that you set up the centosplus section of /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-
Base.repo with a line like this:
installonlypkgs=php*
(if you want other packages from the CentOS Plus repo, also add them to the
install only section using spaces between packages)
Also, I would put this line in the [base] and [updates] sections of the
file:
exclude=php*
(excluding any other centosplus packages is also recommended ... again,
spaces between packages on the exclude line in the [base] and [updates]
repo)
There are also instructions in the Readme.txt file that discuss php- domxml
.. that file does not exist in php-5.x so you have to remove it by hand to
upgrade.
Thanks Johnny - I had a good read of 'teh Internets' and opted for an
install of 4.4.2 and this seems to have fixed the problem with SugarCRM
(subject to some final testing).
I had to wade through quite a few dependency errors during the configure and
make but the forum thread below was extremely useful:
