Centos – Switch PHP version on Centos 6.4

apache-2.2centosPHP

I'm using CentOS 6.4 and I got Apache 2.2 and MySQL, but the PHP version is 5.5.1 which is a problem for me, because the application which we develop is working with php 5.3 and lower versions. I use this tutorial to install everything: http://www.if-not-true-then-false.com/2010/lamp-linux-apache-mysql-php-on-fedora-centos-red-hat-rhel/

Bust I can't find any answer in web to configure the server correctly to switch php version with cgi or fastcgi.

Can you help me?

You should remove php with all its packages, disable repository from which you installed it (there is any for 5.5.1? wow) and install php package from CentOS base repository - there is 5.3.3.

stop apache.
yum remove php\*
set enabled=0 in /etc/yum.repos.d/<php5.5.51-repository-file>
yum install php (check if yum will catch correct version)
edit /etc/php.ini as you need and start apache.

In your virtualhosts you added a handler, but you didn't set the handler which is why it isn't processed. Add:

<FilesMatch "\.php$">
    SetHandler php-cgi
</FilesMatch>

before </Directory> in each virtual hosts file.

Centos – Upgrading MySQL causes errors

It looks like you've used MySQL packages from the IUS community repo. Unfortunately these packages don't appear to be 100% compatible with the original packages, and so you get broken dependencies such as this one. Remove all of the existing MySQL packages first (your databases won't be touched) and then install the packages from the remi repository (which ARE compatible and have no dependency issues).

You also need to be sure you have disabled or removed the conflicting repo (IUS).
