    hi there,

    type in ssh..

    yum upgrade

    i assume that your yum is outdated


    then yum install p.h.p(remove dot) they will automaticaly install the latest php version

    if its still insist...reinstalling the apache or any OS you using and then do yum upgrade first before installing anything

    then yum install php

    Good luck

    After that i have message: Package php-5.1.6-27.el5_5.3.i386 already installed and latest version

    Hello there,

    You didn't take a wrong step. The repositories you are using have only release version 5.1.6. What OS are you using on your VPS?

    Regards,
    Chris

    if still no luck, your last bet is to reinstall apache

    try googling your problem first maybe youll find a solution there

    good luck

    That is incorrect advise. lapidus, you are not able to update to a newer version because the default repositories are not do not have the later versions. You need to let your package manager (yum) know to use a different repository. There are a few out there, each is a little different. Is this a production server with websites/clients on it right now? Please see the following page regarding repo's:

    http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories/

    Regards,
    Chris
