Note: PHP 5.4 is part of our free unsupported software repository. PHP 5.4 is not supported. This information is provided as a courtesy and does not imply that we provide support for PHP 5.4. All software in the atomic respository is unsupported. If you require support, please use software from the nucleus repository and do not install PHP 5.4.
Version 0.2
The assumption is you already have the atomic repo installed. If you do not, you are not using our unsupported PHP 5.4 rpms. This guide will not help you.
Step 1)
Become root, run this command:
su -
When prompted, enter your root password.
Note: Do not use sudo to run these commands.
Step 2) Set up the Nucleus repo.
Run this command as root:
yum install nucleus-release
Note: You will need to purchase a license to the nucleus repo. Please see the product page for details:
https://www.atomicorp.com/products/nucleus.html
Step 3) Exclude php packages from the atomic repo
Use your favorite Linux file editor to edit this file:
/etc/yum.repos.d/atomic.repo
And exclude php updates from the atomic channel, by adding this line:
exclude=php*
To the end of the [atomic] section. Here is an example (DO NOT REPLACE YOUR FILE WITH THIS EXAMPLE):
[atomic]
name = CentOS / Red Hat Enterprise Linux $releasever - atomicrocketturtle.com
mirrorlist = http://updates.atomicorp.com/channels/m ... -$basearch
enabled = 1
priority = 1
protect = 0
gpgkey = file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY.art.txt
gpgcheck = 1
exclude=php*
So in the example above, you would add this line to the end of the [atomic] section:
exclude=php*
Step 4) Downgrade to PHP 5.3.
Run this command as root:
yum downgrade $(rpm -qa --queryformat="%{name} \n" |grep ^php)
