It is x86_64 architecture.

Thankyou.

Ignore the configure options. JSON is already there; it's part of the php-common package.

Sorry if it's a trivial question but i'm just a php developer not sysadmin

You're going to need to remove php-pecl-json (this isn't part of CentOS last time I checked, do you already have a 3rd party repo installed?). That is part of PHP core as of 5.2.0 (in my repo it's part of php-common).

Any ideas on that? Here is info about my system:
rpm -qa |grep php
php-pdo-5.1.6-27.el5

Thanks!!

The only Plesk servers I've ever used have come with it preinstalled by the host. In those cases the password for MySQL & the Plesk admin password were always the same as the root password.

If you don't know what the root MySQL password is and do not have another account that has full access to the mysql database (where auth data is kept), then you can start MySQL without the grant tables and then change it.

I know this is a bit off topic, but so strange as I have installed mysql with your repositary and didn't set a root passwd, but somehow the passwd is set as I am not able to connect as root... Is this because I have installed plesk that the root passwd has been set by plesk ?

Thanks.

That said, back to your question, there's really no way for me to answer that without knowing more about your experience. Part of me wants to say, if you have to ask, you'll probably end up breaking your system, but again...

Your options are to build from source, build an src.rpm from another distro that includes PHP 5.3, switch to a repo that includes 5.3, or wait for me to build 5.3 (which will happen some time after Zend releases loaders for 5.3). If you really do need to do this now, your best options are to switch to another repo (assuming you haven't used my repo or are willing to uninstall that packages you used from mine) or to build the src.rpm from Fedora (which may require slightly more effort but won't require the install of a bunch of other stuff like a 3rd party repo may).

i would like to upgrade to php 5.3.x .. What is the best way to get this sorted by yum update php?
At the moment your repos only give the possibility to upgrade to version 5.2.x ...

With best regards
