I don't know if f9 uses php 5.1.2. But, if you just want to install php, use "yum -y install php". If you want a specific version, try to get the rpm for that version and try "yum localinstall <downloaded.rpm>"

Even Fedora 8 is using php 5.2.6 already, so Fedora 9 should have a problem with that. The previous posting has all the needed info. I just wonder what causes the need for an older php version? It is usual to make a distinction between php4 and php5 for compatibility reasons with older scripts, but it's quite uncommon to go for an outdated version within the php5 branch.

well WTF happened to my post here .
If for some very strange reason you must use a OLD , VERY OLD version of php5 --- this begs the question Why
you MUST build that version from the old source code
the current version of php in the fedora 9 repo's is 5.2.6
so

Code:

yum install php

will install php 5.2.6

grab it from cvs
http://us2.php.net/anoncvs.php

Code:

 cvs -d :pserver:cvsread@cvs.php.net:/repository checkout -r PHP_5_1 php5

Well guys, I was only trying to install VTigerCRM, but the installation gets to a point that it tries to install php5.1.2, and later gives an error stating that an error was encountered while installing php5.1.2, setup cannot continue. So that makes me feel the VTiger app may be running on php5.1.2 and not the latest because I have used yum to install the latest version of php on my box. So what do u guys think?

seeing as "VTigerCRM" has not been updated in over a year . I would look into using something else

but i was not using the sales ( credit card or paypal,... ) modules
