[ZendTo] Anyone having problems installing on CentOS 6?

CentOS have just rearranged their SRPM archive for no apparently clear 
reason.

The SRPMS for CentOS 6 are now *only* available in the CentOS 6.8 source 
repo.
Not in either the CentOS 6 source repo, nor the CentOS 6.9 (current!) 
source repo.

Whether they intend to change/fix this again, I don't know.

In the mean time, I've updated the file
     CentOS-RedHat/CentOS6/centos-sources.repo
within the installer directory tree, so that it points explicitly to 6.8 
instead of 6.
If you want to make the change yourself, just edit that file and change 
"6" to "6.8" in the 2 lines that start with "baseurl=".
Do not change the "gpgkey=" lines.

Then stage 2 (rebuilding PHP from source and then installing it) should 
work on CentOS 6.

Also, CentOS 5 and RedHat Enterprise 5 are now officially end of life. 
Their source code packages have been removed. For CentOS 5, all the 
update packages have been removed too. So don't even think about trying 
to install (or even update PHP) on either of these now.

Cheers,

Jules
