I just installed a fresh install of webmin, usermin and virtualmin on my Centos 5.6 box. Everything seems to be working fine, except when I want to run phpmyadmin. “Requires PHP 5.2+”
I checked the version and it notes I have php 5.1.6 installed:
Installed Packages
php.x86_64 5.1.6-27.el5_5.3 installed
I wanted to preform an update, and got this result:

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
package-cleanup --dupes
rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
The program package-cleanup is found in the yum-utils package.
I admit, this will not solve the phpmyadmin problem, but I need to update my packages …
If anybody has a solution for the php5.2, please also let me know. Tanks
It looks like you have some third party repository’s enabled there, such as rpmforge.
The problem is that the packages within it may conflict with those you’re using for Virtualmin.
In particular, what you’re seeing right now are conflicting results for how to deal with ClamAV… yum isn’t sure what to do, and is delivering the errors you’re seeing.
My recommendation is to disable the third party repositories you have enabled. If you have any specific packages you want from a given third party repo, that may be okay (depending on the package), but my recommendation there would be to only pull down the packages you need, rather than open up the entire repo.
Thank you very much for the comprehensive explanation of the problem.
I removed the rpmforge repos and updated yum. Yum anounced there were no packages to update.
This keeps me a bit troubled though with the issue that I can’t run php5.2?
By default, CentOS provides what you’re seeing there, PHP 5.1.6.
To use an updated PHP version, you have one of two options.
First, since CentOS 5.6, they began offering an optional package named “php53”, that you can use in place of your current PHP version. But you’d only want to use that if all of your web applications supported 5.3.x, which not all of them do.
Second, you have the option of using the Virtualmin Bleed repository, which offers PHP 5.2 Documentation for that is here:
Turns out I need php 5.2 after all if I want to run the site I got the dedicated server for …
I’ve installed the bleed repos and set the includepkgs=php*
I’ve made a yum update and it asks me to install 15 packages from the bleed repos.
This is tricky though. If something goes wrong, formatting the server costs me a lot of money.
If I press the Y button (to update everything) and it doesn’t work / it breaks PHP, anything … Will I be able to downgrade again? If yes, what command can I use?
I’ve learnt never to remove the mcrypt package, and it’ll upgrade that. So I can’t just ‘remove’ the updated content and replace it …
Well, which 15 packages is it offering to install?
I can’t imagine any of the packages in the bleed repository would cause you to need to format your server though.
If you want to revert to the old packages – it’s not as straight forward as upgrading, but it can be done
You’d first start by removing the bleed repository. Then, as I don’t believe yum has a reinstall option – you’d need to download the packages you want to revert to, and use rpm to install them from the command line. Using “rpm -i --oldpackage” I believe would do the trick.
