I'm trying to upgrade PHP 5.3 to 5.4 on a CentOS 6.7 VPS. Followed the Webtatic instructions here: https://webtatic.com/packages/php54/

Now at a stage where the 5.4 packages are installed, but PHP 5.3 is still being used and lots of Internal 500 errors are being thrown when accessing PHP pages.

root@server [~]# yum list installed php\*
Installed Packages
php54w-cli.x86_64           5.4.43-1.w6       @webtatic
php54w-common.x86_64        5.4.43-1.w6       @webtatic
root@server [~]# php -v
PHP 5.3.29 (cli) (built: Sep  8 2014 19:48:10)
Copyright (c) 1997-2014 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.3.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2014 Zend Technologies

Reading around, one suggestion is that it's to do with suPHP, although checking permissions, everything seems to be correct.

Any ideas?

The CentOS rpm-controlled php is /usr/bin/php. You clearly have more than one version of PHP installed, and from what you've written above, it doesn't look like the alternative php binary is under any form of package control. You'll have to root it out manually.

Your best bet may be to find out why your apache is choosing /usr/local/bin/php over /usr/bin/php, and see if you can get it to prefer the RPM-controlled version. Note that you will almost certainly need the core php54w package installed as well.
