Newer version of the php-common package installed

[wavewind]

I'm new to plesk, so any help will be appreiated.

I've a brand new server, I would like to install plesk.

Here is the error I got bcoz my php is higher version than it can currently support.

I tried to create the .autoinstallerrc file on "/" or the "directory_to_the_psa_install_file", but they didn't work.

I put url as "php.net" and maybe that's the problem.

Thanks!

Stephen

ERROR: You have a newer version of the php-common package installed on your system.
The installation will not continue.

It seems that you installed latest packages from your operating system vendor's
site. To install the product packages successfully, you need to point the
auto-installer to the vendor's package repository. To do this, create a text
file with name .autoinstallerrc in the /root/ directory on the server, and add
the following line to the file:

ADDITIONAL_SOURCE="<type>, <priority>, <url>, <username>, <password>"

where you should replace <type> with "repomd" value, <priority> with a number from
1 to 999 (999 is the highest priority), and <url> with a URL of the vendor
updates source. The values <username> and <password> are required
only if your vendor's site requires authentication. Save the file and
exit from the text editor. Then run the auto-installer again.
Not all packages were installed.
Please, resolve the above problem and try installing the packages again.
If you cannot resolve the problem on your own, contact product technical support for assistance

You can try removing php and installing plesk, and then upgrade php afterwards.

Yes, it is silly as heck, but removing PHP on your new system completely, installing Plesk, then upgrading works just fine:

rpm -e php php-odbc php-mysql php-pgsql php-ldap php-cli php-pdo php-common

./psa_installer_v3.2.0_build070705.20_os_RedHat_el5_x86_64

Then:
yum update

Like I said, silly... but which eva.
