linux question

[hakeem777]

I have downloaded and untar the php 5.2.10 files. Where should I put it? And what are the steps to install 5.2.10. I am running Centos Linux 5.4. Thanks.

an easier method would be to add the CentOS testing repo:

cd /etc/yum.repos.d
vim CentOS-Testing.repo

copy and paste this into CentOS-Testing.repo:

[c5-testing]
name=CentOS-5 Testing 
baseurl=http://dev.centos.org/centos/$releasever/testing/$basearch/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0
gpgkey=http://dev.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-testing

# CentOS-Testing:
# !!!! CAUTION !!!!
# This repository is a proving grounds for packages on their way to CentOSPlus and CentOS Extras.
# They may or may not replace core CentOS packages, and are not guaranteed to function properly.
# These packages build and install, but are waiting for feedback from testers as to 
# functionality and stability. Packages in this repository will come and go during the 
# development period, so it should not be left enabled or used on production systems without due
# consideration. 

The testing repo has PHP 5.2.10

You can put it wherever you like, and the steps are the same as compiling most programs on Linux.

./configure
make && make install

 

You'll want to (funnily enough) read the file called README first. You might also want to take a look at....

 

./configure --help

Should I do:

 

1.        cd /etc/yum.repos.d

2.        vim CentOS-Testing.repo

3.        copy and paste the code to CentOS-Testing.repo

 

and then what should I run. Should I run "./configure" and "make && make install". One thing I need to mention that my centos linux server is standalone and cannot connect to internet. Will this steps work? Please help. Many thanks.

If you have downloaded the php source code you will need to compile it. This has nothing to do with your package manager.

 

The steps I described above will help you.

Hi All,

 

  I chose to run rpm files instead. I have downloaded  "php-5.2.13-rpm.tar.bz2" somewhere and run "rpm -Uvh php*.rpm" after I untar the file and I get the following error. How can I fix the dependencies error? After these rpm, do I still need to compile? Please let me know. Thanks.

Without the machine being connected to the internet you are going to have a seriously difficult time doing this.

 

How do you fix dependencies? Install the required software at the required version.
