Hi,

 

I'm trying to upgrade to PHP5 on my Plesk 8.1.1 server (on CentOS v4.4 x86_64)::

 

yum info php

Version: 4.3.9

Release: 3.22.4

Repo : installed

Summary: The PHP HTML-embedded scripting language. (PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor)

 

Description:

PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language. PHP attempts to make it

easy for developers to write dynamically generated webpages. PHP also

offers built-in database integration for several commercial and

non-commercial database management systems, so writing a

database-enabled webpage with PHP is fairly simple. The most common

use of PHP coding is probably as a replacement for CGI scripts. The

mod_php module enables the Apache Web server to understand and process

the embedded PHP language in Web pages.

The php package contains the module which adds support for the PHP

language to Apache HTTP Server.

Error: Missing Dependency: php = 4.3.9-3.22.4 is needed by package php-pear

 

 

... and here is where I'm currently stuck. My understanding was that PHP v4.3.9-3.22.4 was the version that got installed with the server (??), so I'm not quite sure what's going on here, or how to get around this problem

 

 

 

If I Removing php-pear (yum remove php-pear), I get prompted with the following:

... which totally anihilates my installation of plesk, HOWEVER does then allow me to complete the PHP5 upgrade (I've since restored the server since trying this).

 

 

 

If anyone would have any suggestions on how I might get past this php-pear issue (without uninstalling it), I'd be HUUUUGELY appreciative!

 

I've been tearing my hear out trying to get past this problem for a few days now.

 

Many Thanks,

Sia

With some input from Poke (swsoft forums), I managed to resolve this as followins:

 

rpm -e --nodeps php-pear

yum update php mysql --enablerepo=centosplus

 

wget http://ftp.monash.edu.au/pub/linux/CentOS/4.4/updates/x86_64/RPMS/php-pear-4.3.9-3.22.4.x86_64.rpm

rpm -Uhv --nodeps php-pear-4.3.9-3.22.4.x86_64.rpm

 

rpm -q php-pear

php-pear-4.3.9-3.22.4

 

rpm -q php

php-5.1.6-3.el4s1.5

 

rpm -q mysql

mysql-5.0.27-1.el4.centos

 

service httpd restart

 

 

 

All the best to anyone who may find the above helpful!
