installing php and apache on Amazon EC2 instances

Question

I am trying to install PHP on amazon ec2 instances but when I run the following command: sudo yum -y install httpd php54-fpm php54-common

it gives me the following errors:

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Have you read the error message ? Read again:

Error: httpd24-tools conflicts with httpd-tools-2.2.25-1.0.amzn1.x86_64
Error: php54-common conflicts with php-common-5.3.27-1.0.amzn1.x86_64

You are trying to install HTTPD 2.4 when you appear to have HTTPD 2.2 installed and same thing with php, namely, you have PHP 5.3 installed and you are trying to install 5.4. A simple way to confirm this is to type in the following into bash:

php -v
httpd -V

If you want to install newer versions then remove the older versions.

yum remove httpd-tools-2.2.25-1.0.amzn1.x86_64 php-common-5.3.27-1.0.amzn1.x86_64

Answer 2

More specifically, httpd == version 2.2. php54 is trying to install httpd24.

Don't specify httpd. Let your version of PHP determine which version of Apache to install.
