Centos – php not working with apache install

apache-2.2centosPHP

I have a centos server. I have installed apache 2.2.17 from a .tar.gz file. I've also install php 5.3 from the ius repository. That worked fine and apache is functioning and so is php 5.3. However, when i put a phpinfo.php file in the directory that apache should be serving files from, it doesn't work. I can only seem to get php to work if i use yum install httpd which installs an older vesion of apache. Any ideas? Thanks.

Assuming that you're installing a PHP module for Apache, you need to be using the same version of Apache it was built against. It's a bad idea to try to mix-and-match source packages and binary packages like this. Either find a reputable repository and install everything from there, or build everything from source, but trying to mix it up like this will usually lead to this sort of problem.

Update: Apparently RHEL 5.6 includes PHP 5.3, so this will be showing up natively for CentOS soon.

The problem here is that the packages you are installing have a different name (php53 instead of php), but they attempt to install the same files...hence the conflicts. This isn't necessarily the best way to put the packages together, but I don't know if there are better packages available so we'll ignore that.

To remove your currently installed packages:

# yum remove php-cli php-common php

So, in general, yum remove <list of packages> will remove the packages. And of course, yum list installed to see a list of installed packages (or rpm -qa).
