Upgrade to php 5.2 on Fedora Core 6

Category: Linux Admin

 Lots of apps are now looking for php 5.2 to run but Fedora 6 currently only updates to 5.1 in the repositories. The update does not appear straight-forward, however after much googling I found a solution that worked for me here . Simply follow these steps … You need to login using ssl ( then su for admin ) or similar console …

# rpm -Uvh http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/i386/epel-release-5-3.noarch.rpm

# rpm -Uvh http://rpms.famillecollet.com/el5.i386/remi-release-5-4.el5.remi.noarch.rpm

# yum –enablerepo=remi update php

Later I needed to add the mcrypt extension also …

 # yum –enablerepo=remi install php-mcrypt
