PHP 5.2 & MySQL 5.0 in FC 15

ACDII · 08-15-2011, 02:39 PM

I need to run the two listed versions in FC 15, so is it possible to have yum or Apt connect to an FC10 repository in order to install the versions I need? How would I go about doing that? For some reason the web developer cant use the latest versions of either php or mysql, so either I install 5.2 and 5.0, or rebuild the box to FC10.

on fedora 15
you do not

but if you NEED old versions of programs you should NOT be using fedora

you might if you build those old versions from source and block them in yum ( add an "exclude" )

or
install CentOS 5.6

Looks like I need to dig out my old FC10 disk then.

That version has the versions these people need. I dont know why they cant make their code work with the newer versions of PHP and MySQL.

they are running rhel5 !
it is stable and meant for running servers

i would NOT use the fedora 10 rpms
they DO NOT have the backported bug and security fixes in them

on fedora 15
build from source and build in the centOS 5.6 patches
also you might need to build from source gcc4.3
fedora 15's gcc4.5 might be way to new .
