Topic: smeserver-support dependencies

Actually it is, but they do not have much choice as I explained in my earlier post.

I agree.. sometimes I'd be more clear

Thanks for your clarification

My work around to this whole problem was to remove php, horde and imp, then reinstall php4.  Once that was done, perform the "yum update" and when everything was complete I ran "yum install horde imp" then updated to PHP5 again.  Everything is working fine. 

I imagine many others have upgraded to php5 and have had troubles with the latest update (not the fault of SME btw - and in fact I think it is a good thing). But you could help others out by telling us how you went about removing php, horde and imp. So that others might be able to work through the upgrade as smooth as possible

Hummdis

Why doesn't SME support or provide PHP5?

sme8 does, and although beta, it is well advanced in development

For those who has updated php to 5.1.6 and can't update sme server follow these commands:

Code: [Select]

wget http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs/nhall/sme7/php-issues/rpms/smeserver-support-2.0.0-3.el4.sme.noarch.rpm
yum localinstall smeserver-support-2.0.0-3.el4.sme.noarch.rpm
signal-event post-upgrade
signal-event reboot
Then do again yum update and see if are all ok.

The issue with updates happens because some php-* marked as obsoletes and break the compatibility with php-5.1.6

This is the same rpm as yum update (you can download srpm to see) with only one change: I have commented some "obsoletes" php packages.

Normando, please do not redistribute rebuild core SME Server packages. This is counter inductive to SME Servers stability and besides you are using the same version numbers for two different versions of the RPM now. Usng this package might cause unforeseen issues in the future

[Normando]

Please cactus, delete my post and your post with my quote message to avoid future problems with the package. I have deleted from the mirrors.

Thanks for removing them, I will leave the posts unmodified. No need to remove them AFAIK.

Could I please get this rpm as I see it is no longer available here? This is what I need to fix my issue so is there a link that I could use to obtain it?
Thanks

Could someone tell me just what this rpm "smeserver-support-2.0.0-3.el4.sme.noarch.rpm" does anyway and if it is totally necessary to install as it seems to be the culprit of a lot of the issues due to the dependencies??

Thanks

Well I have the same issue as what started this thread regarding the yum update after PHP5 was installed from the Centosplus repo. It appears to be due to php-domxml which is flagged as version 4 but my error is exactly the same as the initial poster.
Thanks

Would I maybe be better off removing PHP5 and reverting back to PHP4 and then using this contrib http://wiki.contribs.org/PHP5 instead of using the centosplus rpms for PHP5?

Would the per ibay PHP5-CGI provide the exact same functionality as a full blown PHP5 install?

Thanks

Download the source rpm and make your own rpm (not in production server).

Comment these lines in the spec file:

# Obsoletes: php-curl = 4.3.10-3eo
# Obsoletes: php-devel = 4.3.10-3eo
# Obsoletes: php-domxml = 4.3.10-3eo
# Obsoletes: php-imap = 4.3.10-3eo
# Obsoletes: php-ldap = 4.3.10-3eo
# Obsoletes: php-mcrypt = 4.3.10-3eo
# Obsoletes: php-mhash = 4.3.10-3eo
# Obsoletes: php-mysql = 4.3.10-3eo
# Obsoletes: php-odbc = 4.3.10-3eo
# Obsoletes: php-snmp = 4.3.10-3eo
# Obsoletes: php-xmlrpc = 4.3.10-3eo

# Obsoletes: php-imap = 4.3.10-01es01
# Obsoletes: php-ldap = 4.3.10-01es01
# Obsoletes: php-mysql = 4.3.10-01es01

Change "%define dist" variable with

%define dist .el4.sme

Install with "yum localinstall" NOT rpm -Uvh

I will not say nothing more about this, because I received a warning from moderators. You are the responsible for your SME stability and compatibility with future updates.

Thanks Normando!

Normando that won't work.  Those obsoletes are specific versions that were part of 6.x + update script that we needed to remove.  If you don't have that exact same version installed then those lines don't do anything.  I'm not sure why you think this fixes the issue but it most likely won't.
