thanks for the help.

You should execute commands indivudually, however it seeems no gzip located in your box

I suggest fore install using RPM

Ah right ok, new to this PuTTY program as well learning as I go along kind of thing!

I've just tried to force install but says the following:


root@vps-167 [~]# rpm -Uvh http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5/os...entos.i386.rpm
Retrieving http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5/os...entos.i386.rpm

It seems that you typed the link manually
there is typo there: el5.centos is correct, you typed e15.centos

Take a look to putty documents: http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/0.52/htmldoc/Contents.html or Using PuTTY

Pasting is done using the right button (or the middle mouse button, if you have a three-button mouse and have set it up; see section 4.10.3).

rpm -Uvh http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5/os/i386/CentOS/gzip-1.3.5-10.el5.centos.i386.rpm

Woops, I'll give them links a read.

Before I do this, could it lead to any problems? just want to make sure as our website is live and wouldn't want myself to be the blame for any damage

Thanks!! Tom

Try installing from source

cd /usr/src
wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gzip/gzip-1.3.9.tar
tar xf gzip-1.3.9.tar
cd gzip-1.3.9
./configure
make
make install

Try a "forced" update with rpm like


rpm -Uvh --force ...

Hi thanks i managed to install gzip this way and was able to build matching php Binary.

Only thing is, after the build matching php binary was complete, it said that i should copy over the new php Binary or something, which i don't think went to plan. Now i'm not sure what these commands were as there's no way to go back to it...
