CentOS 6 PHP 5.4 and 5.5 yum repository

Wednesday, February 19. 2014

I maintain RPM-packages for PHP 5.4 and 5.5, see earlier post about it.

As any sysadmin can expect, there was too much trouble running the updates. Since CentOS 6 native way is running yum repositories, I created one.

Kick things going by installing the repo-definition:

yum install \
http://opensource.hqcodeshop.com/CentOS/6%20x86_64/Parallels%20Plesk%20Panel/plesk-php-repo-1.0-1.el6.noarch.rpm

After that, a simple yum install command:

yum install plesk-php55

... will yield something like this:

/opt/php5.5/usr/bin/php -v
PHP 5.5.9 (cli) (built: Feb 9 2014 22:04:05)
Copyright (c) 1997-2014 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.5.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2014 Zend Technologies

I'll be compiling new versions to keep my own box in shape.

Hi,

thanks for the explanation. i did it and now i got a problem that the database support is not activated. I tried to install mysql again, but it says it is already installed, i think at the 5.3.3 installation. But how can i install mysql in my 5.4 and 5.5 php installation?
Thanks in advance!

If I got your problem correctly, the solution is very very easy. From CentOS standard installation, your MySQL is supported in PHP by package php-mysql. Depending on your version do: yum install plesk-php54-mysqlnd plesk-php55-mysqlnd

It should be given, that various features of PHP are in different packages and to get those features, you need to install them.

That was really easy, it works, i have been searching for a few hours, and could not find the answer.
I am quite new to CentOS and Linux, but i have got a VPS now and i am learning as i go.

Thank you for the really fast answer!

Hi Jari,
i maybe got another noob question, in have installed 5.4 and 5.5 like you said and also the MySQL, but i found out that the only thing i don't have is the GD library, do you maybe have got a magic command line to install that on the both 5.4 and 5.5 installation?
Thank you!

i have got one more question, i also have to enable mb string on my 5.4 and 5.5 installation.
I have got a joomla website and K2 is not working, i think it has something to do with mb_string.
Can you point me in the good direction here?
Thanks!!

I had tried yum install plesk-php54-mb-string or something, and then he could not find a package, but this worked, wow that is great!
K2 is now working, that was pretty simple.

Have you got a list with all those commands? so that i would not have to ask you every time...(-;

Thanks!!

What you'd really need is a newbie guide to YUM.

It is possible to get a list of packages. Already installed or available ones. Try studying "yum list" command. To make your listing easier, try limiting the listing somehow.
