Instalar PHP 5.2.x en Centos

Estimado, tube un caso con un cliente al cual tube que instalar el PHP 5.2.x en su Centos 4.x, y fue una cosa que me volvio loco.


Despues de mucho googlear, encontre esta solucion que quiero compartir.

PHP 5.2.3 has been released. This version does not have the massive number of bug fixes that came with 5.2.2 (which included many of the patches from the Month of PHP Bugs), but it does have some useful fixes included, including the fix for the HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA bug that was introduced in PHP 5.2.2.

This build was relatively straight forward and didn't require any modifications to the spec file from my build of 5.2.2. I'll probably do a respin when MySQL 5.0.42 is finally marked as "released" (the source package is already available but the changelog hasn't been updated with an official release date).

For those that like to build from source, feel free to use the Source RPM from the link below. For my repository users, the new version is already available and all you'll need to do is run a "yum update".

UPDATE (6/19/2007): The PHP 5.2.3 packages have been updated. The Source RPM link below has also been updated to prevent anyone from downloading an out-of-date file.

If you want compile the src rpm yourseld here are the directions.

mkdir /usr/src/redhat
chmod -R 777 /usr/src/redhat

rpm -ivh php-5.2.3-jason.1.src.rpm

cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/

here you have a file dot spec with the configure and build lines.

rpmbuild -bb name_of_your_package.spec (in this case i think that is PHP)

when all finish right you have one or many package in the RPMS folder, you need update your current rpms with this, with the following command.

rpm -Uvh name_of_package_output.rpm
