Centos + PHP 5 = Howto Solution
So I was trying to upgrade my php to version 5 on my centos server "godaddy hosting", and I found a solution for this problem, here it is:
One nice thing about CentOS is the long support life and stability of the system. One not so nice thing is that because it is based on Red Hat Enterprise, the package selection is pretty conservative. That’s not too bad though, Apache is 2.0.52, MySQL is a 4.0.x version, so things are reasonably current. One thing that’s really dated though is PHP (4.3.x)… I’ve been using PHP 5 for a while and quite like it, so a PHP 5 package for CentOS would be nice. Good news though is that one already exists, its in the CentOSPlus repository. This post to the CentOS Mailing List explains what the CentOSPlus repo is for.
To enable CentOSPlus edit /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo. After [centosplus] heading, you’ll see a line that currently says “enabled=0″. Change that to “enabled=1″ to enable CentOSPlus. Once the CentOSPlus repo is enabled, “yum update†will search the repository and offer to upgrade any packages to newer versions from CentOSPlus. If you had PHP installed previously, this will upgrade you to PHP 5.0.x.
