Noob Needs Help - Updating php to 5.3 (centos 5.6)

Unread post by Tlommy »

Ok so im very new to all this and still dont really know any php. However I am in need of getting php 5.3 running on my server. I attempted to follow a few tutorials on line that seemed pretty easy, I have a little linux knowledge so using ssh wasnt so bad. Anyhow I added some repositories like the tutorial told me to and then ran "yum update php" but get the following error.

php-ncurses-5.2.17-1.el5.art.i386 from atomic has depsolving problems
--> Missing Dependency: php-common = 5.2.17-1.el5.art is needed by package php-ncurses-5.2.17-1.el5.art.i386 (atomic)
mysql50-5.0.92-1.ius.el5.i386 from ius has depsolving problems
--> mysql50 conflicts with mysql
Error: Missing Dependency: php-common = 5.2.17-1.el5.art is needed by package php-ncurses-5.2.17-1.el5.art.i386 (atomic)
Error: mysql50 conflicts with mysql

Once again im very new at this and I tried searching around all night and part of this morning to no avail. Everything I find I just cant understand, if anyone has any ideas as to what commands I need to perform to get this going it would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

You should not really have the ius repo enabled at the same time as the art one. Stick to the art one.
I also note that yum is trying to upgrade to 5.2 not 5.3, and that's probably caused by the ius issue.
