Installing spamassassin with PHP5 (CentOS package on RHEL4)

[woodzie]

Hi,

I have installed PHP5 on one Plesk RHEL4 server using the CentOS4 PHP5 packages. I've been running this for quite some time and everything appears to work correctly. However, when I try to install the SpamAssassin module, I get a "blacklist" error, due to a missing php-domxml dependency. I believe the package name was changed to php-xml in PHP5.

Is there any way to ingore certain dependencies when performing a module install?

I've tried running the commandline autoinstaller app, but there doesn't appear to be any commandline options that would help.

One solution I was thinking of is to download the psa-spamassassin RPM and install using RPM, ignoring the php-domxml dependency. Does anyone know how I can accomplish this?

Thanks in advance,
Darryl

Do you have php-xml (the PHP 5 version) installed? I believe it should provide php-domxml, so there should be no problem.

Installing spamassassin with PHP5 (CentOS package on RHEL4) [solved]

Hi,

I'm pretty sure I had the php-xml package installed, as many of the sites are using that functionality.

I ended up solving my problem by adding the Atomic Rocket Turtle Yum repository to my up2date sources, and doing a "up2date -u".

That pulled the more Plesk-compatible PHP5 packages from there, which replaced the CentOS4 ones. This went smoothly with no problems. In the process, I also upgrade Plesk from 8.0.0 to 8.1.0. The only hiccup there was that some domains started showing the Redhat Test Page. Once I added the DirectoryIndex in the vhost.conf for the affected domains, everything was fine.

Thanks for the reply.
