I have been given a task to install PHP 5.3.29 a MySQL 5.5, but both of them are old - are there some repos with old packages? Or how do I get them? I have to install it with yum.
Thank you very much

Installing old packages generally is a very bad idea, especially considering that newer version often are 100% compatible with older one.
That said, each distribution has its own method to revert to a previous package and/or to install a specific software version. For example, with RHEL/Centos/Fedora you can use yum downgrade <package> to downgrade an installed package, or yum install <very_specific_package_version> to install a specific version.

Thanks - it will not be installed on a production machine, it is only a step in "test". Thank you – Jesse_Pinkman Aug 11 '16 at 12:16
