Updating applications and repository list.

Screen Yast

an administrator here old company did something with the repository list, I believe.
I can not update the php5 to the newest version 5.3.

anyone have any tips?

php5-5.3 packages are not in the SP1 repositories, only the SP2 repositories and you do not have any SP2 repositories set up. If you add the SP2 repositories you will get php5-5.3 packages plus all the other packages for SP2.

there you have the list of repositories SLES SP2?
where you?

Hi
php53 is only available for SLE 11 SP2, for SP1 you would need to add
from the Open Build Service;
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/php/SLE_11/

taking the problem of php, I believe that is missing a repository list.

what do you think?

Hi
Not sure what you mean? You can download rpms and create a local
repository, or add that one?

Or maybe your thinking of the SLE SDK which can be added, which
probably has an older version(s) of php?

OK, I didn’t explain very well before. If you want to update PHP to 5.3 you have two choices:

  • Update your server to SLES 11 SP2. Instructions on how to do this can be found at http://www.novell.com/support/kb/doc.php?id=7010200

  • Add the openSUSE Build Service repository that malcolmlewis linked to. This includes php5-5.3 rpms that have been built for SLES 11 SP1.

You should bear in mind that SLES 11 SP1, which is what I assume you are currently running because you have no SP2 repositories set up, is End Of Life. It is no longer supported, SUSE no longer provide updates for it. This is why you are not getting any updates for PHP at the moment.

I don’t know if Long Term Service Pack Support would get you an official PHP5-5.3 update though.
