How do I install php 5.3 on CentOS?
- by fivelitresofsoda
Hi,
I have to install php5.3 on my centos server. If i do yum install php, the base repo installs 5.1.6 which is too old for the apps i need to install. So i've been trying to use the ius repository, following the official instructions from ius:
root@linuxbox ~]# wget http://dl.iuscommunity.org/pub/ius/stable/Redhat/5/x86_64/ius-release-1-2.ius.el5.noarch.rpm
root@linuxbox ~]# wget http://dl.iuscommunity.org/pub/ius/stable/Redhat/5/x86_64/epel-release-1-1.ius.el5.noarch.rpm
root@linuxbox ~]# rpm -Uvh ius-release*.rpm epel-release*.rpm
Ok. Now i simply do yum install php53, etc for all i need... but i get this error:
Running rpm_check_debug
Running Transaction Test

Transaction Check Error:

I have no idea how to solve this. I think i have to delete the base packages however as a linux noob i don't know how to do that. Please help. Thank you.
