Centos in VPS

Here is a common problem I face during my setup of a VPS ( Virtual Private Server). They haven't got the latest repo package in store and also some key elements especially in web development ain't there. So after some messing a round I found its possible on upgrading my CentOs VPS server. Here is what I want.

1. Php5.3
2. Apache2.2
3. Mysql5+
4. Git including Git web
5. PhpMyAdmin 3

So obtain all those, I downloaded and install these two packages of a 3rd party repo.

Webtatic CentOs repo

rpm -Uvh http://repo.webtatic.com/yum/centos/5/latest.rpm
vim /etc/yum.repos.d/webtatic.repo

RPMforge CentOs repo

wget http://packages.sw.be/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm
rpm --import http://apt.sw.be/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt
rpm -iv rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el5.rf.*.rpm

Thanks to these two for making life easier, else I would have compiled the packages.
