I'm trying to install PHP on my server, running Centos 7.3; I've installed php 5.4, and have MySQL Server 5.6.28 running there too. When I'm trying to install php-mysql, it's trying to install mariadb-libs for dependencies, and it stops with errors:

# yum install php-mysql

Error Summary
-------------

Is there a way to install PHP without those libs... Or what can I do in order to install the package without uninstalling MySQL server, since it's where the DB for the site is running (This is a migration from another server).

UPDATE

I'm running MySQL Server:

# mysql -u root -h 127.0.0.1 -p

  • Are you sure you don't have maraidb installed, what does the command mysql -u username -p show you? May 15, 2017 at 16:43
  • Again since it's migrated perhaps mariadb was used there! May 15, 2017 at 16:45
  • I'm sure; it's only MySQL. I edited my question with stuff regarding this May 15, 2017 at 17:36
  • Exactly the same issue here. Brand new Centos 7 install. I removed all mariadb references, I installed mysql, and is running fine. I installed php, anad is running fine. But I need to install php-mysql and I get the conflict error: Error: Package: php-mysql-5.4.16-42.el7.x86_64 (base) Requires: libmysqlclient.so.18()(64bit) Available: 1:mariadb-libs-5.5.52-1.el7.x86_64 (base)

  • @smorhaim I made it. My installation was with RPMs (MySQL Server and Client). So I also installed Compatibility Libraries and Shared components (dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/5.6.html?os=31). After that, I tried again the installation and didn't ask for mariadb-libs anymore. Hope it helps! May 15, 2017 at 20:04

php-mysql use the mariadb client library (libmysqlclient)

php-mysqlnd use the MySQL Native Driver and provides the same set of extensions (mysql, mysqli and pdo_mysql), so don't have any dependency on the libmysqlclient.

See choosing a library

To switch from one installed package to the other, in yum expert mode

# yum shell
> remove php-mysql
> install php-mysqlnd
> run
> quit
