Hello, does anyone know how to instal php-ldap?

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
[root@server7 ~]#  rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
[root@server7 ~]# yum install php-ldap --skip-broken

using remi could cause a lot of conflicts.

It seems so, is there another way to install PHP where I won't have these problems?

[Me.B]

Compiling it the hard way is the cleanest way but you will have to get all the libs/dependencies for compiling too. Require some testing.

Works fine for me, had a clean installation of Sentora installed, now updated everything with this guide, Laravel 4 / 5 applications are running fine, same as wordpress 4.*

I'm not an servergeek if it's working for me I'm happy.

Thanks!

Hi, I couldn't make my first message useful :/. Well, I've upgraded my PHP version to 5.6.10 with this method but I can't make it work. Apache doesn't recognize PHP and show the full syntax on source code. I already tried to reboot the server, update / upgrade it without luck.

pd.: Actually I met Sentora ten minutes ago while searching for solutions since I am using Plesk 12. I'll migrate to Sentora once I read all the changes and differences.
Thank you

Seems to be working fine for me. Thanks.

I have no idea why Sentora is bundled with such an old version of PHP. 5.4 was released in March 2012!!!!

[Me.B]

Sentora is not bundled with any php. It relies on official php supported by OS vendor. That's it.

Redhat until today support php 5.3 on equivalent of centos 6.x and 5.4 on centos 7.x.

Now upgrading is so easy huh?

think about this:

I updated to php 6 using this much cleaner method: https://webtatic.com/packages/php56/

Below are the steps that I followed:

Code:

1. CentOS/RHEL 7.x:
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
2.
yum install yum-plugin-replace
yum replace php-common --replace-with=php56w-common
3.
yum install php56w-opcache

No errors but no mention of suhosin (only suhosin.ini under additional files parsed), should I follow your guide on step 1 to enable it or would that cause errors with my current setup?

EDIT: I did have to recompile sushosin just as you said.
