Since there still seems to be people interested in PHP4 for CentOS, I thought i’d share my recently compiled RPM’s for PHP-4.4.7. They were build on a CentOS 5.0 system, for i386 and x86_64 architecture.

This time the source RPM is included as well.

You can find them here

I’ve built a bunch of new CentOS RPM’s from the recently released php-4.4.4. Just like last time, they’re available for both 32- and 64-bit Intel architectures, and although i’ve tested and use them myself, they come with absolutely no guarantee

Been a while since my last post But anyway:

At the moment, we mostly run Slackware and Gentoo based servers at my workplace. Since the number of servers is steadily growing (currently 30-something servers), so is the maintenance. This is why i’ve been doing some research on more maintenance-friendly distros, one of which is CentOS, the community release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

So far i am really impressed by CentOS, and i’m getting more into the whole RPM buzz. I have always been a ‘compile-it-yourself’ person, and never really been a fan of RPM, but i’m starting to see the benefits now

The only thing i was a bit bummed about, was the relatively old version of php that came with CentOS 4.3. Since we run the latest version of PHP4 on most of our servers, i’ve been looking into rolling my own RPMs. After a bit of research on rpmbuild and related tools, the result is a bunch of PHP-4.4.2 RPMs for both 64-bit (x86_64) and 32-bit (i386) servers. And since CentOS is the community version of RHEL4, i thought i’d share these with the world.
