just use the packetmanager yum to download updates: yum update search for packets: yum serach "packetname" -> yum search php or -> yum list | grep packetname in my eyes it gives you a better overview than search that will show you available packets. install these with yum install "package1" -> yum install php
Hi Ben thank you for info . i am not that bad know how to use yum but only available ver of php that yum shows me is 5.1.6 Is 5.2.2 not available under centos???
Sorry, did not knew that afaik centos 5 has only php 5.1 (even in plus channels). If I take a look in the RHN, also there only php 5.1 is available for RH5... so I would suggest php 5.2 is not available... http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=8541
How to Install PHP 5.2.x on CentOS 4.5 To install PHP 5.2.5 (Highest in repository at this time) you can make use of a RPM repository maintained by Remi. He has a repository for each distro, but to save you translating for the ES5 one I’ll give you the commands here. Run the following to get up and running: wget http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/i386/epel-release-5-2.noarch.rpm wget http://rpms.famillecollet.com/el5.i386/remi-release-5-4.el5.remi.noarch.rpm rpm -Uvh remi-release-5*.rpm epel-release-5*.rpm You now have the Remi repository on your system, however it is disabled by default. Obviously you don’t want all of your packages been effected by this repository, however to enable it for a specific package, run the following: yum --enablerepo=remi update php You should now have the latest PHP5 installed: # php -v PHP 5.2.5 (cli) (built: Nov 10 2007 10:52:30) Copyright (c) 1997-2007 The PHP Group Zend Engine v2.2.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2007 Zend Technologies
if you get the error "Could not find update match for php", you may have installed yum-priorities package. just to be sure: $ rpm -q yum-priorities if its installed, then you should disable it temporarily to update php via remi's repo: $ sudo vi /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/priorities.conf change the line "enabled = 1" to "enabled = 0". then try again: $ yum --enablerepo=remi update php it should work. btw, don't forget to enable priorities again after the update.
@subse7en Thanks for you post. This is three years after your post and PHP5.2 is still not available via YUM. And I still can't upgrade to 5.2. I followed your steps and updated the download to the current ones: Code: wget http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/i386/epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm wget http://rpms.famillecollet.com/el5.i386/remi-release-5-8.el5.remi.noarch.rpm rpm -Uvh remi-release-5*.rpm epel-release-5*.rpm Then executed: Code: rpm -Uvh remi-release-5*.rpm epel-release-5*.rpm And received the following warnings: Code: warning: remi-release-5-8.el5.remi.noarch.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 00f97f56 warning: epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 217521f6 Preparing... ################################################## epel-release ################################################## remi-release ################################################## Ignored the warnings and ran yum: Code: yum --enablerepo=remi update php Among the output, it produced the following error: Code: --> Processing DepenError: Missing Dependency: libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.4) is needed by package libedit Error: Missing Dependency: rtld(GNU_HASH) is needed by package libedit dency: libmysqlclient.so.15 for package: mod_auth_mysql After finishing the process, the PHP version is still 5.1.6. Any ideas? Any help is greatly appreciated. I'm a very light Linux/CentOs user btw.
