mcrypt, php 5.3 on centos 5.

We have an ancient centos 5 machine hosting this blog and some other php sites. This machine actually does quite a few things, so upgrading to something more recent would be a non-trivial task.

In the course of installing wordpress last week I tried out several extensions. One or more of them ( I forget which just now ) required php 5.3. Hmm, I thought. A reason to upgrade. Hopefully somebody has made yum packages available. As it turns out, I was in luck.

Andy Thomson of webtatic.com has created Centos 5.3.6 RPMs and fully documented the install process. Thanks Andy!

I followed his directions and quickly had php 5.3 installed.


Somehow I missed the installation of the mcrypt extension however, and encountered problems with a couple of sites that use it.

Long story short, if you have followed Andy’s directions above, then all you need to do to install mcrypt is:

$ sudo yum --enablerepo=webtatic install php-mcrypt
Obtuse reader that I am, I initially installed mcrypt the manual and trickier way. In a nutshell, this involves grabbing the php source code from php.net and building the mcrypt extension. I document it here just in case it is useful for someone in a similar situation. The same basic process would work for any standard php extension.

Retrieve and uncompress the PHP source code
