I'm installing Fruity for Nagios using the 4.4 Single Server CD and want to force upgrade PHP 4 to PHP 5 without having to upgrade everything on CentOSplus.
In order to install Nagios, I have to first enable RPMforge. However, to use Fruity, I have to use PHP 5, which isn't included in the RPMforge repository, unless I enable CentOSplus and yum update/upgrade everything (which I did eventually, just to get everything working).
While in 4.x, I tried to enable *just* PHP with a command (something like) the following:
yum --enablerepo=centosplus upgrade php*
After doing so, however, I got all these errors saying that it couldn't update it b/c other things were needing updating (Pear, I think, was one of them). Perhaps this had to do with me installing RPMforge and using protect-plugins.
Is there a way to force an update of, say, PHP and have also force an update on everything directly needed to install PHP? I don't mind everything directly associated to the one package I need being updated, but I'd prefer to peg the other programs and not let them update.
