Hello Nat. For future reference, the command after hash (#) sign means that you need to run it as privileged (root) user and the command after dollar ($) sign means that you need to run it as unprivileged (e.g. you) user. You don't need to type this character to your command prompt. In bash (which you are using as a shell) the hash sign means comment, that's why your previous attempts failed. FYI, variables are prefixed with the dollar sign. Try to do this: # rpm -iUvh http://dl.iuscommunity.org/pub/ius/stable/Redhat/5/x86_64/ius-release-1-2.ius.el5.noarch.rpm The above command will install the ius-release package and will configure your system to use IUS. After that run this: # yum install epel-release Answer 'y' to yum's query about installation and 'y' on the question about GPG-key. That command will configure your system to use EPEL via installing epel-release package. IUS has that package inside. After that you can upgrade your MySQL/PHP (or what you wanted to do originally) just using `yum install what-do-you-need' commands. -- SY, Ilya A.
