Install PHP On CentOS Issues

I'm having issues installing PHP on Centos using yum install php

Could someone help me get it working if possible?

Here's what it's saying:

Solution

  • php is a meta package. It installs all needed php packages, like php-common, php-cli, php-mysql and so on. But you added the remi repository to your centos (usually to install a higher php version than your centos provides), and remi does not provide this php meta package.

    So when you try to install php, your centos tries to install the original packages, which interfere with the remi ones you already installed.

    Solution: Dont install the php meta package, install the remi single packages. Since they are already installed, i dont know what you even try to do, because you have php already installed.

    OR

    Remove remi repository and do a yum update.
