Adding Remi's RPM repository to CentOS 7 and updating to PHP 5.6
-
Now that ownCloud has cleared up their recommended and supported versions, I want to get my systems up to recommended. Note, PHP5.4 is completely supported, but it is not the recommended. This is by no means a requirement. If you do not feel comfortable using Remi's, then please feel confident that you are still running a supported system.
#install the Remi repo yum -y install http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/remi-release-7.rpmAt this point Remi is available to you but will not be used by default.
You have two choices.
- You can enable the repo permanently
- You can enable the repo as needed.
To help you make this decision, you need to understand what is actually available to you from Remi's. The repo is divided into a few pieces allowing you to only enable the parts you need. For this task I only want the ability to update PHP to 5.6.
Open the repo and look
nano /etc/yum.repos.d/remi.repo# Repository: http://rpms.remirepo.net/ # Blog: http://blog.remirepo.net/ # Forum: http://forum.remirepo.net/ [remi] name=Remi's RPM repository for Enterprise Linux 7 - $basearch #baseurl=http://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/7/remi/$basearch/ mirrorlist=http://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/7/remi/mirror enabled=0 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-remi [remi-php55] name=Remi's PHP 5.5 RPM repository for Enterprise Linux 7 - $basearch #baseurl=http://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/7/php55/$basearch/ mirrorlist=http://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/7/php55/mirror # NOTICE: common dependencies are in "remi-safe" enabled=0 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-remi [remi-php56] name=Remi's PHP 5.6 RPM repository for Enterprise Linux 7 - $basearch #baseurl=http://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/7/php56/$basearch/ mirrorlist=http://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/7/php56/mirror # NOTICE: common dependencies are in "remi-safe" enabled=0 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-remi [remi-test] name=Remi's test RPM repository for Enterprise Linux 7 - $basearch #baseurl=http://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/7/test/$basearch/ mirrorlist=http://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/7/test/mirror # WARNING: If you enable this repository, you must also enable "remi" enabled=0 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-remi [remi-debuginfo] name=Remi's RPM repository for Enterprise Linux 7 - $basearch - debuginfo baseurl=http://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/7/debug-remi/$basearch/ enabled=0 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-remi [remi-php55-debuginfo] name=Remi's PHP 5.5 RPM repository for Enterprise Linux 7 - $basearch - debuginfo baseurl=http://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/7/debug-php55/$basearch/ enabled=0 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-remi [remi-php56-debuginfo] name=Remi's PHP 5.6 RPM repository for Enterprise Linux 7 - $basearch - debuginfo baseurl=http://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/7/debug-php56/$basearch/ enabled=0 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-remi [remi-test-debuginfo] name=Remi's test RPM repository for Enterprise Linux 7 - $basearch - debuginfo baseurl=http://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/7/debug-test/$basearch/ enabled=0 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-remiEach of the sections in square brackets are different repositories available from Remi. The names are self explanatory in my opinion. As I am only after PHP 5.6, I see the repo name I need to enable is
remi-php56.Now that I know this I can decide to enable it permanently simply by changing the line
enabled=0toenabled=1in theremi-php56section. For me this is what I want because I useyum-cronto update things and I always want php56 to be updated.If you only want to enable it for a single run of
yum, you can add the--enablereposwitch like this.yum --enablerepo=remi-php56 updateNo matter which way you do it, you will see this

Thanks!

If you don't want to do this in two steps you can install from RPM directly:
rpm -Uvh http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/remi-release-7.rpmAnd if you want YUM to track things, you can do that directly, too.
yum -y install http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/remi-release-7.rpm -

yum -y install http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/remi-release-7.rpmI always forget you can just do it through
yum, updated the instructions above. -
Me too, no one ever does that. I've used RPM so much more than YUM that I've only recently gotten to the point that I remember with YUM now.

I used have the same habit. Got tired of yum complaining about the rpm database being changed by another program. Once I figured out yum can both handle downloading a package and installing an already downloaded rpm, that was an easy annoyance to fix.
yum localinstall /home/$user/remi-release-7.rpm -
If you want to enable PHP 7 you need to edit a different repo file to find the remi-php70 repo to enable.
nano /etc/yum.repos.d/remi-php70.repo
