I just got a VPS at vpsland, a CentOS 4 X86_64.

I tried to update the php version after enabling atomic and plesk repositories, but i get the following error;

This is a virtuozzo panel with plesk 8.6. is it safe to remove php and reinstall it, with the hope it will install the latest version platform?

Try these commands, one at a time. If each works, try upgrading again.

thanks Highland, i tried the command yum install php-pear and i got the error message -

Error: Missing Dependency: php-common = 5.2.5-2.el4.art is needed by package php-pdo
Error: Missing Dependency: php-common = 5.2.6-1.el4.art is needed by package php-xml

So i tried doing a yum install php-common and got another message -

Transaction Check Error: file /etc/php.ini from install of php-common-5.2.8-1.el4.art conflicts with file from package php-4.3.9-3.22.12


dont know how to proceed from here.

Thanks

To get php-pear to install I had to disable my CentOS-Base.repo. Then it stopped complaining about php 4.3.9 and grabbed it from ART.
