Install with PHP 5.3 fails

[dstevenson]

When I try:

$ yum install zabbix-web-mysql

I get:

Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
                        package-cleanup --dupes
                        rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

The suggested workarounds don't help. How do I tell the install script to use php53 packages instead of php?

I've encountered the same problem today when trying to install zabbix-web-mysql on a Redhat 5.8...

Posting the solution here for any others having the same problem.

Here's what fixed it for me:

1- sudo yum remove php php-common php-cli
2- sudo yum install php53
3- sudo yum install zabbix-web-mysql

Good luck.

This is not zabbix installation failure but php with list of repositories which you are using now.
Your issue has nothing to do with zabbix installation per se.
