This is a bit hard to understand for the normal user........

This is a bit hard to understand for the normal user........

Hence we don't encourage you to go messing with your server unless you are experienced and really know what you are doing. The simplicity of SME is actually also its Achilles Heel as it stops users from having to think, and learn.

This *is* fairly complicated, and perhaps we should reflect that on the Wiki page.

Trying to install ANYTHING beyond the basic install will always carry a risk and you can easily get yourself in a bit of a mess which then can trash your server and/or leave you open to the world + dog.

I presume you want the PHP update to install some form of web app. Be very careful......

In fact we could have a way to ease updates for all 'normal' users, it is to import all rpm from 'remi' to smecontribs, but it needs time.....and we are all volunteers O:)

Each time you give something easy to everybody.....it needs a lot of skills

My concerns is mainly that the remi repository can break your server quickly and this is why we exclude some rpms. Now to explain why we added more rpm in dependancy of php-scl it is because we need them for smeserver-phhmyadmin

well, it would first need to ship SME with the signing key of Remi, we would also need to make a local copy of remi repo on our cluster to run our repo update script.
the part of pushing rpm is not that hard, this is all the other things around that are !

What about ?

yum update smeserver-php-scl php54* php55* php56* --enablerepo=smecontribs,remi,epel
Or
yum update php54* php55* php56* --enablerepo=remi,epel
