How to upgrade php from version 5.1.6 to version 5.3.6 on Centos

Manpasand · 08-07-2011, 12:22 AM

I am trying to upgrade php 5.1 to 5.2 in Linux Virtual Dedicated Server after reading the article. BUT when I give command "yum update" following error shows:

Quote:

Config Error: File contains parsing errors: file://///etc/yum.repos.d/utterrambings.repo
[line 4]: /i386/

Should I delete it and install new one? If yes, how?

My second question is, should I upgrade from 5.1.6 to 5.3.6?

Tks.

why don't you post the contents of your /etc/yum.repos.d/utterramblings.repo file so we can look at it? can't help ya much without that information.

Hi,

CentOS repository now provied php 5.3.

All you have to do is run this command

yum install php53

It will upgrade to php 5.3. If you need to install any module for php5.3 just install it by mentioing php53

Best,
Sandeep
