When I try to follow this tutorial from amazon (http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/install-LAMP.html)

I get a series of errors: 

Error: php56-pdo conflicts with php-pdo-5.3.29-1.8.amzn1.x86_64
Error: httpd24-tools conflicts with httpd-tools-2.2.29-1.5.amzn1.x86_64
Error: php56-common conflicts with php-common-5.3.29-1.8.amzn1.x86_64
Error: httpd24 conflicts with httpd-2.2.29-1.5.amzn1.x86_64
Error: php56-process conflicts with php-process-5.3.29-1.8.amzn1.x86_64
Error: php56 conflicts with php-5.3.29-1.8.amzn1.x86_64
Error: php56-xml conflicts with php-xml-5.3.29-1.8.amzn1.x86_64
Error: php56-cli conflicts with php-cli-5.3.29-1.8.amzn1.x86_64
Error: php-mysql conflicts with php56-mysqlnd-5.6.8-1.111.amzn1.x86_64

This was a brand new amazon linux ami and I'm following their tutorial line for line. Am I doing something wrong?

You need to decide if you want to install php 5.3 or 5.6, the packages conflict with each other. - datasage
yeah, i want php 5 but when i run yum remove php-common and then yum install php55 i get the same error - iliketolearn
Do yum remove php*. This will remove all old php packages. - datasage
I still get an error: yum remove php Loaded plugins: priorities, update-motd, upgrade-helper No Match for argument: php No Packages marked for removal - iliketolearn
Make sure you include the wildcard * in your command. It should look like this yum remove php* - datasage

You must remove all package that conflicts as php-pdo, php-common, httpd-tools, httpd...

Ex: sudo yum remove php* httpd httpd-tools
