Luigi, I ran the following commands which worked flawlessly on the CentOS 5.5

root@378907 [~]# wget -q -O - http://www.atomicorp.com/installers/atomic | sh

I have 3 servers 2 of which run CentOS 5.5, and one with 5.7. I was able to easily upgrade the PHP version to PHP 5.3.8 on the CentOS 5.5 boxes but was thwarted on the 5.7. Does anyone have any tips for how to get PHP 5.3.x installed on CentOS 5.7?

What's the error you get?

Ciao, luigi

It is a yum repository update. It worked great on the other machines. More info here:http://www.atomicorp.com/wiki/index.php/PHP Alan

I am not that particular about which method is used, I just want it installed. I am new to the list and apologize if asking for this type of help is inappropriate. Just trying to upgrade to make my developer happy. Alan

thats nice, but its not part of CentOS, so you should probably get on THEIR mail list and find out why its not working for 5.7

I would love to use the standard repository, unfortunately the package is not found which was how I ended up finding the third part solution. I tried: yum update php yum upgrade php yum install php yum install php53

I am not sure how to change repositories, not sure what the name is of the official CentOS repository is to use the --enablerepo= command or how to see if there is a php 5.3.x version available for my installation available or if I am beating my head against a wall and the CentOS 5.7 is actually incompatible with the newest version.

The php53 package from the standard repo does not work well *, so you are better off using a 3rd party repo. General consensus is that the IUS repo (http://iuscommunity.org/) is the best one to use.

I would remove the atomic repo, install IUS, then install/update php from there.

Side point: Running arbitrary code from the web is a very bad idea, so you should never do something like this: wget -q -O - http://www.atomicorp.com/installers/atomic | sh # BAD!

* It's not so good because it does not provide proper rpm tags that let other rpms know that php is installed. It announces itself as "php53", and most package looks for "php", so they can't find it.

I got the IUS installed using the commands but was still unable to upgrade the php package, any ideas?

Sorry Mark, I started this upgrade project a few days ago and am stepping back to it now that I have a little more time. I tried the php53u package like eero suggested but the package could not be found still. I did a "yum search php" and there aren't ANY packages that start with php, the closest I have is phc which is the php compliler. We would love to be able to figure this out so we can run php.activerecord.

That's why I asked you to do a list, not search (I actually haven't used the latter), with wildcards, to get *everything* that's got php in it.

yum clean all then yum list *php*

clean all might be a good idea, but I always use escaped wildcards, so there's no chance of shell interaction. Works fine fer me.

Incidentally, kmail (for one MUA) renders an unescaped set of bracketing asterisks as above as being a trigger to bold the bracketed text, so it rendered as 'yum list <bold>php</bold>' here.... escaped asterisks don't do that.... It looked interesting seeing the php bolded in a command, though....

This was my response from the yum list.

While everyone was right, John got the "Gold Star" award for reminding me that this server has WHM Cpanel installed on it. So far the control panel interferes more than it ever helps when I am trying to manually install packages. Thank you all for your support, I have been very impressed with the promptness and ability of the list. I am now running the newest version on the machine by installing through the CP.

Thanks again Alan
