Installing Plesk 8.4 on CentOS 5.2, 'php-common' package error

[danberlyoung]

I'm installing a brand-spanking-new server and want to get the latest versions of CentOS and Plesk but they don't seem to like each other. Specifically I'm getting an error complaining that I have a newer version of "php-common" package. It then directs me to create an .autoinstallerrc file with the path to the CentOS repository. I've done that and it seems happy with the url I gave it (http://mirrors.easynews.com/linux/centos/5.2/updates/i386) but it's still giving me the same error on install.

Any help?

TIA!

Maybe try removing php-common if it exists already

rpm -e php-common

It's used by several packages including the main PHP5 package. Don't think I can just chop it out and not have something blow up.

Try installing plesk through yum, that can handle the dependency resolution much better.

Ok, call me ignorant. what is the package name? I've used yum before but I'm don't know the specific package I should install.

Thanks!
