I have a Centos 5.6 server which is using the default php packages.
These currently contain PHP 5.1.6.

My main use of PHP on the server is to support an installation of
WordPress. I currently had WP 3.1.2 installed, but the WP developers
have announced that from WP 3.2 they will only support PHP 5. and
greater.

So I investigated and found that the Centos repo contains a series of
php53 packages. I tried to install php53 using yum but got the
following error:

--> Running transaction check
---> Package php53.x86_64 0:5.3.3-1.el5_6.1 set to be updated

Error: php53-common conflicts with php-common
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

I would have thought that the new php53-common package would have
obsoleted php-common rather than conflicting with it.

Is there a clean way to replace php with php53? Or should I just wait
and hope that Centos 6 is released before WP 3.2

Thanks,

Dave...

I would try to first "yum erase php", and then install the php53 version.

Hello Dave, this really works -
I run Drupal 7 at my CentOS 5.6 machine with
the "native" php53 and postgresql84 packages.

Just remove the older php packages first.

Regards
Alex

Er... that looks like it wants to take another 109 packages with it.
Most of which seem to be connected with Plesk. And that's pretty
fundamental to the working of this server.

So that all sounds like a rather risky strategy.

Cheers,

Dave...

It's not really that risky, just rpm -e --nodeps and then yum install
php53 packages.

Do not follow this advice at all; it will most likely wreck your server.

Contact Plesk support or your hosting provider's support department and
ask them about upgrading php. Plesk, like most control panels,
integrates quite tightly into your system; replacing the system default
php-5.1.6 with the php53 optional package may not be supported for your
environment.

This is exactly what worried me. Thanks for confirming my fears.
