Understanding the Error<\/h2>\n
The error “php53-odbc64 conflicts with php53-odbc” typically occurs when you attempt to install the PHP package on CentOS5.9. This error is a result of a conflict between the php53-odbc64 and php53-odbc packages.<\/p>\n
When you run the command “yum install php53*” or “yum install php”, the system tries to install all the PHP 5.3 packages available in the repository. However, the php53-odbc and php53-odbc64 packages cannot coexist, leading to the conflict.<\/p>\n

The solution to this issue is relatively straightforward. As suggested in the error log, you can use the –skip-broken option with the yum install command. This option allows yum to skip packages that cannot be installed for any reason (in this case, due to the conflict) and proceed with the installation of other packages.<\/p>\n
Here’s the command you need to run:<\/p>\n
\r\nyum install php53* --skip-broken\r\n<\/pre>\nThis command instructs yum to install all the PHP 5.3 packages, skipping any that cause problems. As a result, it bypasses the conflicting php53-odbc64 package and installs the rest.<\/p>\n
Commands Mentioned<\/h2>\n
\n
- yum install php53*<\/span> \u2013 This command attempts to install all PHP 5.3 packages available in the repository.<\/li>\n
- yum install php53* –skip-broken<\/span> \u2013 This command attempts to install all PHP 5.3 packages, skipping any that cause conflicts or other issues.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

FAQs<\/h2>\n
\n
- \n
What does the “php53-odbc64 conflicts with php53-odbc” error mean?<\/p>\n
\n This error occurs when there’s a conflict between the php53-odbc and php53-odbc64 packages during the installation of PHP 5.3 on CentOS5.9. The system cannot install both packages simultaneously, leading to this error.<\/span>\n <\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
What does the –skip-broken option do in the yum install command?<\/p>\n
\n The –skip-broken option instructs yum to skip packages that cannot be installed due to conflicts or other issues, and proceed with the installation of other packages. This allows the installation process to continue even if some packages cannot be installed.<\/span>\n <\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
Why can’t the php53-odbc and php53-odbc64 packages coexist?<\/p>\n
\n The php53-odbc and php53-odbc64 packages cannot coexist because they are different versions of the same package. Installing both would lead to conflicts in the system, hence the error.<\/span>\n <\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
What is the impact of the “php53-odbc64 conflicts with php53-odbc” error on my server?<\/p>\n
\n This error prevents the installation of PHP 5.3 on your server. Without a successful installation, your server may not be able to run PHP-based applications or websites effectively.<\/span>\n <\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
Can I manually install the conflicting packages separately to resolve the error?<\/p>\n
\n No, manually installing the conflicting packages separately will not resolve the error. The conflict arises because these packages cannot coexist. The recommended solution is to use the –skip-broken option to bypass the conflicting package during installation.<\/span>\n <\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
