Earlier while upgrading PHP to version 5.3.5 on a CentOS server I copied over the details of the remi repository from another server I had upgraded PHP on. Once I started the transaction all looked well until Yum needed to verify the remi repo RPM GPG key which I had not installed so an error was provided and Yum stopped the PHP upgrade process. You can get around the RPM GPG key error by simply using the –nogpgcheck switch however that is not the correct way to resolve the problem. You should instead install the RPM GPG key and the below example shows how to install the RPM GPG key for the remi repo.

As you can see at the bottom of the above output Yum immediately stopped when it could not located the remi RPM GPG key or the RPM-GPG-KEY-remi file. Installing the remi repository RPM GPG key file is easy by using the below syntax.

- [root@dev yum.repos.d]# rpm --import http://rpms.famillecollet.com/RPM-GPG-KEY-remi
- [root@dev yum.repos.d]#
After issuing the above command I was able to complete the upgrade of PHP to version 5.3.5 on this CentOS Linux server.

Thank you for this. I’m wondering though, how did you finish the upgrade? Did you yum –enablerepo=remi update php again? If so, what happened? Your assistance is greatly appreciated.
Hello einda,
In this instance I did use the remi repo for the PHP install but it will all depend on what version of PHP you want installed. Typically the remi repo has more bleeding edge versions of PHP so if you are looking for something more stable you may want to stay with the default CentOS PHP version.
Hope that helps.
Thanks.
