advanced noob needs help with rpm install of php 5

[primesuspect]

Hey guys.

I'm working on upgrading php 4 on one of my servers to php 5. It took me ages to even find the right package. This is RHEL 4 x86-64 SMP.

I FINALLY found a package for php 5 built for x86-64 (http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=4274&forum=34). Now I just need to figure out how to upgrade.

when I run

rpm -i php-5.1.4-1.x86_64.rpm

i get:

file /etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf from install of php-5.1.4-1 conflicts with file from package php-4.3.9-3.9
file /etc/php.ini from install of php-5.1.4-1 conflicts with file from package php-4.3.9-3.9
file /usr/bin/php from install of php-5.1.4-1 conflicts with file from package php-4.3.9-3.9
file /var/www/icons/php.gif from install of php-5.1.4-1 conflicts with file from package php-4.3.9-3.9

ahh what do I do?

Have you tried upgrading the package (up2date -u php)?

Did you install directly from RPMs or did you use yum or up2date?

What about using rpm -U php-5.1.4-1.x86_64.rpm, upgrading rather than installing?

[primesuspect]

i tried that. i get a failed dependency:

rpm -U php-5.1.4-1.x86_64.rpm
error: Failed dependencies: php = 4.3.9-3.9 is needed by (installed) php-pear-4.3.9-3.9.x86_64


and when I try to upgrade the php-pear package, I get:

rpm -U php-pear-1.4.6-2.noarch.rpm
error: Failed dependencies: php >= 5.1.0-1 is needed by php-pear-1.4.6-2.noarch

yay!

[jhenry]

rpm -U php-5.1.4-1.x86_64.rpm php-pear-5.1.4-1.x86_64.rpm

This is why I prefer compiling php by hand instead of RPMs. There's a lot less mess.

EDIT: you beat me to it.

EDIT2: Trying them both in one line should work
BTW, get on MSN plz

okay i solved some dependencies by up2date-ing the net-snmp packages, etc.. but there's still two left:

libmysqlclient.so.15()(64bit) is needed by php-mysql-5.1.4-1.x86_64
libsqlite3.so.0()(64bit) is needed by php-pdo-5.1.4-1.x86_64

i can't find those... arrrgh..

this is RHEL 4 so it doesn't have yum. I'm using the RHEL repository. :werr:

[jhenry]

The first one is resolved by installing mysql-devel and mysql-shared

The second one should beresolved by sqlite-devel

http://isoredirect.centos.org/centos/4/os/x86_64/CentOS/RPMS/sqlite-devel-3.2.2-1.x86_64.rpm

http://isoredirect.centos.org/centos/4/os/x86_64/CentOS/RPMS/mysqlclient10-3.23.58-4.RHEL4.1.x86_64.rpm
http://isoredirect.centos.org/centos/4/os/x86_64/CentOS/RPMS/mysql-devel-4.1.12-3.RHEL4.1.x86_64.rpm

[primesuspect]

aargh!

rpm -i sqlite-devel-3.2.2-1.x86_64.rpm
warning: sqlite-devel-3.2.2-1.x86_64.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 443e1821
error: Failed dependencies:
sqlite = 3.2.2-1 is needed by sqlite-devel-3.2.2-1.x86_64

[jhenry]

Install the SQLite binary file:
http://isoredirect.centos.org/centos/4/os/x86_64/CentOS/RPMS/sqlite-3.2.2-1.x86_64.rpm

[primesuspect]

what a nightmare. libmysqlclient.so.15()(x86_64) is required, but I cannot find it anywhere :-/

[drasnor]

If you haven't already, try up2date'ing the entire system. That's usually a good way to flush out odd dependencies.

[primesuspect]

i did that. :(

[jhenry]

...drumroll...

We're back online. We decided to screw RPM and I compiled Apache and PHP by hand.

[primesuspect]

thanks a TON john. you totally rock for this.

Case closed - the answer : get someone who knows what they're doing to compile everything from source :p

[Shorty]

Thanks JH.. you rock sir! :D
