PHP-LDAP error

[sievers]

Hello,

today I wanted ti activate the Active Directory Integration and Nagios told me that I need the PHP-LDAP resource.

I used yum install php-ldap and came to the following error

Code: Select all

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

It seems PHP-LDAP requires an older version of php-common. I really do not want to downgrade my PHP-COMMON version. Is there another way to getting PHP-LDAP to work?

EDIT: I already tried running --skip-broken AND rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest to no effect

My Nagios Version: Nagios XI 2012R1.6 | CENTOS 6.3 64 Bit

guys, I really need the info, can you help?

Interesting, most likely this is an issue from varying repos. Can you run the following command and send it back please. This will give us a list of the installed php packages and what yum is seeing as available.

Code: Select all

rpm -qa | grep php
yum list php php-common php-ldap

[sievers]

here is the output

Code: Select all

I have a feeling I know what this will look like but let's also do the following line:

yum repolist all

So updates repo is causing issues due to ldap needing the base version of php-common. Lets try a downgrade of php, this may cause some issues with other php packages but that should be all, and we can definitely work through that.

Code: Select all

yum downgrade php php-common php-cli

[sievers]

ok the downgrade seemed to work. Are there any complications I should expect in my environment

[sreinhardt]

No the only difference is the update repo trying to use versions newer than base dependencies. However, yum is smart enough to realize that php-ldap and potentially others require the older version and will not update unless dependencies allow it. As far as I know there should not be any major security issues, base tends to quickly backport anything important.
