Apologies in advance - I'm not a good Linux user by any stretch of the imagination.I have a CentOS 5.7 dedicated server on which I host a few websites.I currently have php 5.2.10 installed, but I'd like to update to 5.3.9.I tried to update manually, and php -v displays 5.3.9. However, when I phpinfo(), it displays 5.2.10.First problemI followed these instructions for updating PHP manually:Logged in as rootwget the latest PHP installationtar zxvf php-.....gzcd php-...../configuremakeapachectl stopmake installapachectl startI also tried restarting httpd by /usr/sbin/httpd restart.php -v shows the latest version of PHP but phpinfo() on a php page shows the old version.Any idea what the problem there might be?Second ProblemIf I try to yum update php, it says this:Loaded plugins: fastestmirrorLoading mirror speeds from cached hostfileepel: mir01.syntis.netrpmforge: ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.deExcluding Packages in global exclude listFinishedSetting up Update ProcessNo Match for argument: phpNo package php available.No Packages marked for UpdateI've tried yum clean all and adding rpmforge repositories - same outcome!So, secondly, does anyone have any idea why I can't update php from yum? I'd like to be able to do that in future so that I can quickly and easily keep php and mySQL up to date.Thanks in advance,
Trying to update php on CentOS 5.7
centos;yum;php
If a repository that contains it is enabled, but this still happens, it is most likely excluded in /etc/yum.conf. Removing it should solve the issue.
