Hello,

for drupal 7 installation at CentOS 5.5 (I have 32 bit and 64 bit machines) I have to upgrade PHP to 5.3.

I've followed the CentOS wiki:

1) Created this file -

grep -v ^# /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Testing.repo [c5-testing] name=CentOS-5 Testing baseurl=http://dev.centos.org/centos/$releasever/testing/$basearch/ enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=http://dev.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-testing includepkgs=php*

2) Uninstalled the old PHP -

rpm -qa|grep php| xargs sudo yum -y erase

3) Installed new php53:

# rpm -qa |grep php php53-pgsql-5.3.3-1.el5 php53-gd-5.3.3-1.el5 php53-pdo-5.3.3-1.el5 php53-xml-5.3.3-1.el5 php53-cli-5.3.3-1.el5 php53-common-5.3.3-1.el5 php53-mbstring-5.3.3-1.el5

4) Verified php works:

php -v PHP 5.3.3 (cli) (built: Jan 20 2011 23:02:42) Copyright (c) 1997-2010 The PHP Group Zend Engine v2.3.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2010 Zend Technologies

Unfortunately I need Fileinfo module too, for my script.

I do not see "pecl" though and also "yum install php-pecl-Fileinfo" fails with "wrong version" error.

Any help please on how to install Fileinfo?

Thank you Alex
