PHP Downgrade - please help

[alex123]

Hi,
I have just had to move a number of our websites onto a new server.

However some of the functions are not working because the original server has a different version of PHP to the new server.

The original server had 5.1.2 and the new server has 5.3.2-2 .

They are both running Debian.

I am wondering if you could explain to me how I would go about downgrading my PHP from 5.3 to 5.1.

I would really appreciate any help,
Thanks,
Alex

Would copying this file "/usr/lib/apache2/modules/libphp5.so" from the old server to the new server be a quick fix?

Above does not make any difference

No, this will not work as all php modules and dependencies will then fail.

From which repository is php installed on the new server? As the current PHP version on debian 5.0.6 (stable) is 5.2.6-1+lenny9 and not php 5.3.

I managed to fix the sites rather than update PHP.

Thanks for your help
