php 5.3

Cent 5.x I am wanting to get php 5.3 installed but yum update doesn’t do it. I have virtualmin setup with bleed. I don’t want to force the cent update channel php files in and overwrite what virtualmin has in terms of php 5.2.

Howdy,

PHP 5.2.x is the most recent provided in the Virtualmin bleed repo. That’s because as of CentOS 5.6, PHP 5.3 is available.

To install it, you’d need to install the php53-* packages in place of your php-* packages.

But i would test it first. I remember that there some issues between pear and the php53 packages.

There were errors processing this morning the php5 update (debian)

I am stupid, I only kept the last Virtualmin’s report (about php-pear) but the three first installs failed as well and Virtualmin does not give the opportunity to rerun a failed update.

Error returned for php-pear is about nfs-common:

Howdy,

Well, the issue you’re seeing here is different from what the original poster is asking… however, you can resolve your issue by uninstalling nfs-common and portmap if you aren’t using an NFS filesystem (which it doesn’t sound like you are).

You can do that with this command:

apt-get remove nfs-common portmap

After that, you can continue the upgrade process with these commands:

dpkg --configure -a apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
