The purpose of protect base is to allow you to do updates from a repository and prevent updating any protected packages but allow updating of non-protected packages. php would show up as protected ... and would not update. You need to edit the centosplus section of CentOSBase.repo and use: includepkgs=php* that will allow you to get only php from centosplus. You should be able to see the packages that are upgraded here: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/centosplus/ (pick your arch) and you can download the packages manually from [os] and [updates] and replace them with the command: rpm -Uvh package1 package2 package3 (etc.) -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
