php56-common conflicts with php-common-5.3.29-1.8.amzn1.x86_64 when installing phpmyadmin

Question

I have successfully installed php70 and mysql. But when I am trying to install phpmyadmin by

$ sudo yum-config-manager --enable epel

And Then

$ sudo yum install -y phpMyAdmin

It gives me

--> Finished Dependency Resolution

Error: php70-common conflicts with php-common-5.3.29-1.8.amzn1.x86_64

Error: php56-common conflicts with php-common-5.3.29-1.8.amzn1.x86_64

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem

You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Also after google sometimes I found a solution that tries this

sudo yum install php70-mbstring

And I have tried this also, Still facing the same error.

Any suggestion...?

Answer 1

This worked when I removed PHP 7.0 and installed PHP 5.6. I do not know whether this is a better solution, but it worked.

For removing PHP 7.0:

sudo yum remove httpd24 php70 mysql56-server php70-mysqlnd

For installing PHP 5.6

sudo yum install httpd24 php56 mysql56-server php56-mysqlnd
