Installing PHP 5.2.x to CentOS 5.6

Posted on August 18, 2011 by richard

It’s very easy, using CentOS own Repositories & the ‘yum’ package management system to install a version of PHP 5.2 to CentOS 5.6

First, configure your yum to use the official CentOS 5 “Testing” Repo, by creating the file /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Test.repo containing the following:

[c5-testing]
name=CentOS-5 Testing
baseurl=http://dev.centos.org/centos/5/testing/$basearch/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://dev.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-testing

Then (as root) run ‘yum upgrade php‘ & you’re done!
