Centos 7 clean update to PHP 5.5

[bbspike]

Hi all,

I want to share my way of a clean update to php 5.5 for Centos 7:

Add RPM's:

Code:

rpm -Uvh https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
rpm -Uvh https://mirror.webtatic.com/yum/el7/webtatic-release.rpm

Next install Yum replace plugin:

Code:

yum install yum-plugin-replace

Lets replace PHP-Common with PHP55W-Common

Code:

yum replace php-common --replace-with=php55w-common

PHP55W-Common is with Zend and Opcache

But of course we need to compile Suhosin! This code will install Suhosin 0.9.38:

Code:

cd /tmp
wget -nv -O suhosin.tar.gz https://download.suhosin.org/suhosin-0.9.38.tar.gz
tar -xvzf suhosin.tar.gz
rm -f suhosin.tar.gz
cd suhosin-0.9.38
phpize &> /dev/null
./configure &> /dev/null
make &> /dev/null
make install
cd ..
rm -rf suhosin-0.9.38

Check everything with:

Code:

php -v

You should have:

Code:
