Repository for PHP 5.2.x under CentOS 5.1

Help! (Home for newbies)

Hi,

which repository would you recommend to install php 5.2 on centos 5.1 server?

The Virtualmin repos only list php 5.1.6.

Strange, Im using 5.2.3 from vm repos

The Virtualmin repo doesn’t have PHP 5 for CentOS 5, at all, only CentOS 4. CentOS 5 has its own PHP 5 packages, and we never replace packages unless we have to. There’s a FAQ about our packaging policy.

Are you sure you need 5.2? The CentOS package can be expected to be secure and stable…it’s probably not safe to make that assumption about packages from other sources.

That would mean you’re using CentOS 4, which we do provide PHP 5 packages for (since CentOS 4 only provides PHP 4). The reverse is true on CentOS 5, where we provide PHP 4 and CentOS provides PHP 5.

Confused yet?

Yes, I’m sure. We are using some joomla! 1.5 extensions, that need 5.2, in addition the next version of info@hand will need it.
