For those who are still using RHEL 4.x and in need of deploying PHP 5.3 & MySQL 5.1 , you can get the required rpm packages from here. You can add the repo and update php and MySQL packages via yum, or download and install manually. I think the bare minimum will require these packages :
PHP
- php-cli-5.3.1-1.el4.remi
- php-5.3.1-1.el4.remi
- php-common-5.3.1-1.el4.remi
- php-mysql-5.3.1-1.el4.remi
- php-pdo-5.3.1-1.el4.remi
MySQL
- mysqlclient15-5.0.67-1.el4.remi
- mysql-server-5.1.42-1.el4.remi
- mysqlclient14-4.1.22-1.el4.remi
- mysql-libs-5.1.42-1.el4.remi
- mysql-5.1.42-1.el4.remi
Also you might need the packages that I listed below for php 5.3 & MySQL 5.1 to install correctly. Some of them are not available at Remi’s repo, so I upload them to my dropbox account in case somebody need them :
- perl-DBD-MySQL-4.006-1.el4.centos
- libedit-2.11-1.20080712cvs.el4.remi
- sqlite2-2.8.17-2.el4.remi
- sqlite-3.3.6-2
Of course I think this will void your service warranty with Red Hat 😀 This is tested on RHEL 4.7
awesome
Thx 🙂
