I'm completely new to VPS and am trying to install php54 on a centos6.5 server.

I've updgraded the php version to 5.4 which appears to work. Currently using php5.4.31

However I now need to install mcrypt. I've tried:

yum install php-mcrypt

I have set up remi and epel repositories and this goes so far to install but comes up with a dependency error:

Please use /usr/bin/yum --help [root@XXXX~]# yum install php-mcrypt* Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, security Determining fastest mirrors epel/metalink | 26 kB 00:00 * base: centos.serverspace.co.uk * epel: mirror.bytemark.co.uk * extras: mirror.bytemark.co.uk * rpmforge: www.mirrorservice.org * updates: centos.hyve.com base | 3.7 kB 00:00 base/primary_db | 4.4 MB 00:01 epel | 4.4 kB 00:00 epel/primary_db | 6.3 MB 00:00 extras | 3.4 kB 00:00 extras/primary_db | 19 kB 00:00 rpmforge | 1.9 kB 00:00 rpmforge/primary_db | 2.7 MB 00:04 updates | 3.4 kB 00:00 updates/primary_db | 4.7 MB 00:00 Setting up Install Process Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package php-mcrypt.x86_64 0:5.3.3-3.el6 will be installed --> Processing Dependency: php(zend-abi) = 20090626 for package: php-mcrypt-5.3.3- 3.el6.x86_64 --> Processing Dependency: php(api) = 20090626 for package: php-mcrypt-5.3.3-3.el6.x86_64 --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Package: php-mcrypt-5.3.3-3.el6.x86_64 (epel) Requires: php(zend-abi) = 20090626 Installed: php-common-5.4.31-1.el6.remi.x86_64 (@remi) php(zend-abi) = 20100525-x86-64 Available: php-common-5.3.3-26.el6.x86_64 (base) php(zend-abi) = 20090626 Available: php-common-5.3.3-27.el6_5.x86_64 (updates) php(zend-abi) = 20090626 Available: php-common-5.3.3-27.el6_5.1.x86_64 (updates) php(zend-abi) = 20090626 Error: Package: php-mcrypt-5.3.3-3.el6.x86_64 (epel) Requires: php(api) = 20090626 Installed: php-common-5.4.31-1.el6.remi.x86_64 (@remi) php(api) = 20100412-x86-64 Available: php-common-5.3.3-26.el6.x86_64 (base) php(api) = 20090626 Available: php-common-5.3.3-27.el6_5.x86_64 (updates) php(api) = 20090626 Available: php-common-5.3.3-27.el6_5.1.x86_64 (updates) php(api) = 20090626 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

I cant seem to install mcrypt for version 5.4.

Any help appreciated

Reset to default

The remi repository, from which you installed PHP, is disabled. Enable it and try again.

  • Thank you. I didnt realise it had been disabled - I assumed once installed it would be enabled - still learning. mcrypt is now installed. Thanks Commented Aug 17, 2014 at 16:14

    @Ray Remi ships the repo disabled by default, which is slightly annoying and leads to confusing issues like this. Commented Aug 17, 2014 at 16:32
  • The repository is not enabled by default because it overrides some base packages, and admin need to choose between remi, remi-php55, remi-php56, remi-php70 or remi-php71. See: rpms.remirepo.net/wizard Commented Oct 30, 2016 at 10:27
