PHP Update

Wordpress requires a newer version of PHP but I have no update available for it in my virtualmin and yum update php says it's at the newest version which it isn't.

Howdy,

It's likely running the newest version available to your distribution. CentOS 5.x ships with PHP 5.1.6.

The simplest option would be to use the Virtualmin bleed repo with includes PHP 5.2.17, there's documentation on using that here:

Thanks but I needed an even newer version so I got it from some repo. Now my problem is I can't find where to login for my mail.

CentOS 5.6 does provide a "php53" package that contains a newer PHP. To install it, you'd first need to remove the existing "php*" related packages, and then install the php53 packages in it's place.

As far as your email goes -- we can help, but my suggestion is to open up a new forum thread so that we don't have too many topics in this one :-)

Thanks so how could I remove all the php related packages?

Well, if you already have another PHP version installed, you might just want to use that for the time being.

But, you can remove a package with the command:

yum remove PACKAGE_NAME

Yeah I tried that but still had conflicts trying to install php 5.3 :(

You'd need to uninstall all the PHP related packages... the ones beginning with "php-*".

If it says there's a conflict, chances are there's still some PHP packages that aren't uninstalled yet.
