[edit] Ordering Instructions

Product information can be found at Nucleus PHP 5.3 Product Page.

Access licenses to the Nucleus Repository can be purchased from the Atomicorp Store for $99 per year per IP address.

[edit] Support

Support from Atomicorp is limited to the timely update of the repository.

[edit] Terms and Conditions

Purchase of a single Nucleus Repository license entitles the purchaser to access and download from the Nucleus Repository to a single IP address within the time period of the license.

A separate license is required for each server/host that the repository is installed upon. The repository cannot be copied, mirrored, or reproduced.

Atomicorp will update the Nucleus Repository with patches when they are available and where it is possible within a reasonable amount of time. Supported packages may change at any time without notice at Atomicorp’s discretion. Please see Atomicorp’s End User License Agreement for further details.

[edit] Installation

NOTE: The rpm command does not support https.

[edit] EL 5

Step 1)

As root run the command:

rpm -Uvh http://updates.atomicorp.com/channels/atomic/centos/5/x86_64/RPMS/nucleus-release-1.0-19.el5.art.noarch.rpm

Step 2)

If you are using the Atomic repository you must add the line at the end of the [atomic] section in the /etc/yum.repos.d/atomic.repo file:

exclude=php*

For example, the atomic section would look similar to this:

[atomic]
name = CentOS / Red Hat Enterprise Linux $releasever - atomicrocketturtle.com
mirrorlist = http://www.atomicorp.com/mirrorlist/atomic/centos-5-$basearch
enabled = 1
priority = 1
protect = 0
gpgkey = file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY.art.txt
gpgcheck = 1
exclude = php*

Note: Do not change any other lines in your atomic.repo file. The above is just an example to show you where to put the exclude=php* line.
