How to install multiple versions of php to work with nginx.

[pvanthony]

Hi,

Currently using ispconfig 3 with nginx with php 5.3 on CentOS 6.

Now there is a requirement to run php 5.2 together with php 5.3.

Is there a way to do this using yum? If not, what other way can I get this done?

Your advice is greatly appreciated.

This is how it works on Ubuntu and Debian:

mkdir /opt/php-5.2.17
mkdir /usr/local/src/php5-build
cd /usr/local/src/php5-build
wget http://uk3.php.net/get/php-5.2.17.tar.bz2/from/this/mirror -O php-5.2.17.tar.bz2
tar jxf php-5.2.17.tar.bz2

wget http://php-fpm.org/downloads/php-5.2.17-fpm-0.5.14.diff.gz
gzip -cd php-5.2.17-fpm-0.5.14.diff.gz | sudo patch -d php-5.2.17 -p1

cd php-5.2.17/

apt-get build-dep php5

apt-get install libfcgi-dev libfcgi0ldbl libjpeg62-dbg libmcrypt-dev libssl-dev

ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libjpeg.so /usr/lib/libjpeg.so
ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpng.so /usr/lib/libpng.so

This is due to PHP bug #54736, which could be easily resolved using patch debian_patches_disable_SSLv2_for_openssl_1_0_0.patch attached to that bug report.

Download this patch to your ~/Downloads/php-5.2.17 directory, and execute:

patch -p1 < debian_patches_disable_SSLv2_for_openssl_1_0_0.patch.patch

You must specify a user and group for the default pool.
