On a CentOS 6 I am trying to update my PHP from 5.3 to 7.x by following the instructinos at https://www.mysterydata.com/how-to-install-upgrade-to-php-7-4-on-rhel-centos-vestacp/.

When I do the final step:
yum install php php-opcache php-gd php-curl php-mysqlnd

I get error:

Error: Package: php-pecl-ncurses-1.0.1-1.el6.x86_64 (@epel)
           Requires: php(api) = 20090626

               php(zend-abi) = 20170718-64

Is there a way to resolve this?

  • Please note that CentOS 6 is EOL since Nov 2020 and won't receive any update. Please consider upgrading to a supported version. – Remi Collet May 26 '21 at 09:42

The package php-pecl-ncurses requires the php api for the 5.3 version, so you may remove it from your system, before your install:

yum remove php-pecl-ncurses

You may also want to check if there are any other PECL packages installed and see if they should also be removed:

rpm -qa '*pecl*'

Then run the command install/update your PHP installation:

yum install php php-opcache php-gd php-curl php-mysqlnd
