Hi Igor, > you might try to install php from centosplus repository Yes, that's exactly what I'm trying to do. I have my centosplus repository enabled with the following directive: includepkgs=php* The following command tries to install mysql5: # yum install php php-gd php-mbstring php-mysql php-xml php-mcrypt php-bcmath MySQL4 is already installed. The goal here is to -not- upgrade to mysql5. Thanks, LC.
