I installed a CentOS 5.5 and the default php package is 5.1.6. I want to install 5.2.9, so I added /etc/yum.repo.d/CentOS-Testing.repo

[c5-testing]
name=CentOS-5 Testing
baseurl=http://dev.centos.org/centos/$releasever/testing/$basearch/
enabled=0
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://dev.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-testing

php-5.2.9-2.el5.centos.x86_64.rpm is available http://dev.centos.org/centos/5/testing/x86_64/RPMS/

So I tried: yum clean all, *yum search php-5.2.9-2.el5.centos.x86_64.rpm* --> Warning: No matches found for: php-5.2.9-2.el5.centos.x86_64.rpm

What I am doing wrong ? Thanks for your help.

You've told yum to ignore this repository by setting enabled=0 in the configuration. You can either set:

enabled=1

Or:

yum --enablerepo=c5-testing ...

Thanks, that was so simple ! one more question: It only list the 5.2.10 and not the 5.2.9, I tried : yum install php-5.2.9-2.el5.centos.x86_64.rpm --> No package php-5.2.9-2.el5.centos.x86_64.rpm available. – Bastien974 Jan 5 '11 at 21:51
I imagine that the more recent 5.2.10 package masks this version. If you really want the older version, you can do (a) download the package locally (wget http://dev.centos.org/centos/5/testing/x86_64/RPMS/php-5.2.9-2.el5.centos.x86_64‌​.rpm) and then install it with yum (yum install php-5.2.9-2.el5.centos.x86_64.rpm). This will pull in all the dependencies. – larsks Jan 5 '11 at 21:58
