Comments on How To Use Multiple PHP Versions (PHP-FPM & FastCGI) With ISPConfig 3 (Ubuntu 12.04 LTS)

For i386/i686 system you have to remove the parameter: --with-libdir=/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu.

 Otherwise, you got the imap-error described for x64 system above!

apt-get install libapache2-mod-fastcgi
a2enmod fastcgi
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

#2

I GET TO: ln -s /usr/lib/libc-client.a /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc-client.a

 ln: failed to create symbolic link `/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc-client.a': No such file or directory

ANY HELP????

Is possible add to this tutorial php version 5.2.x? For example 5.2.6, or 5.2.17. Probably this is version, what is required for old joomla 1.5.x.

 Thanks

 cp /opt/php-5.3.22/etc/php-fpm.conf.default /opt/php-5.3.22/etc/php-fpm.conf 

 and i get cp:cannot stat `/opt/php-5.3.22/etc/php-fpm.conf.default': no such file or directory

 Can someone please explain me why i get it and how to fix it?

Only for x64!
To correct the libc-client-Error:

ln -s /usr/lib/libc-client.a /usr/lib64/

ln -s /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.a /usr/lib64/

..
--with-libdir=/lib64
..

I have installed Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and ISPconfig 3 the last stable on 32-bit pc

1st error

When I put command

ln -s /usr/lib/libc-client.a /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc-client.a

I get result: No such file or directory

2nd error

When I put command

cp /usr/local/src/php5-build/php-5.3.22/php.ini-production /opt/php-5.3.22/lib/php.ini

I get result: No such file or directory
Directory lib doesn't exist

can somebody resolve this problems?
Thanks

i get an error using:

wget http://de.php.net/get/php-5.3.22.tar.bz2/from/this/mirror -O php-5.3.22.tar.bz2

returns:

Connecting to de.php.net (de.php.net)|212.124.37.9|:80... connected.
HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 404 Not Found

Was the download location changed? Anyone else experienced this issue?

Any updated links to download older php versions properly?

Thanks in advanced!

Hello.

On Ubuntu 14.04, after the fix for "libc-client.a", you also have to do the following :

ln -s /usr/include/freetype2 /usr/include/freetype2/freetype

Otherwise ./configure will failed with a "freetype.h not found" error.

by Cédric.

If someone still having problems with configuring I would recommend making this change. I did it on my ubuntu 14.10 server.

Go to /usr/ directory

[code]cd /usr/[/code]

Now create a symlink to lib directory called lib64

[code]ln -s /usr/lib lib64[/code]

Now configure using 

[code]

./configure \

--prefix=/opt/php-5.3.22 \

--with-pdo-pgsql \

--with-zlib-dir \

--with-freetype-dir \

--enable-mbstring \

--with-libxml-dir=/usr \

--enable-soap \

--enable-calendar \

--with-curl \

--with-mcrypt \

--with-zlib \

--with-gd \

--with-pgsql \

--disable-rpath \

--enable-inline-optimization \

--with-bz2 \

--with-zlib \

--enable-sockets \

--enable-sysvsem \

--enable-sysvshm \

--enable-pcntl \

--enable-mbregex \

--with-mhash \

--enable-zip \

--with-pcre-regex \

--with-mysql \

--with-pdo-mysql \

--with-mysqli \

--with-jpeg-dir=/usr \

--with-png-dir=/usr \

--enable-gd-native-ttf \

--with-openssl \

--with-fpm-user=www-data \

--with-fpm-group=www-data \

--with-libdir=/lib64 \

--enable-ftp \

--with-imap \

--with-imap-ssl \

--with-openssl  \

--with-kerberos \

--with-gettext \

--enable-fpm

[/code]

Saludos, excelente aporte, adicionalemente agrego que tuve diversos inconvenientes para instalar la version 5.2.17 de php, la cual es un muy antigua. Al final, logre instalarla; a continuación el resumen de lo que realicé:

1) Antes de compilar se debe parchar con el siguiente archivo (contiene script para hacer patch) y los siguientes comandos: 

Archivo: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/xml/2012-August/txtbgxGXAvz4N.txt , este script lo puede guardar en la ruta donde descomprimió php, por ejemplo /usr/local/src/php5-build/php-5.2.17/php-5.2.17.patch

Comandos a ejecutar dentro de la ruta /usr/local/src/php5-build/: 

#patch -p1 ext/dom/node.c < php-5.2.17.patch

#patch -p1 ext/dom/documenttype.c < php-5.2.17.patch 

#patch -p1 ext/simplexml/simplexml.c < php-5.2.17.patch 

Esto soluciona cosas como el siguiente error al momento de hacer #make: 

 error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete typeRETVAL_STRINGL ((char *) buf-> Buffer-> content, ret, 1);^/usr/local/php52/Zend/zend_API.h:472:14: note: in macro definition of 'ZVAL_STRINGL'char * __ s = (s); int __l = l; \^/usr/local/php52/ext/dom/node.c:1955:5: note: in expansion of macro 'RETVAL_STRINGL'RETVAL_STRINGL ((char *) buf-> Buffer-> content, ret, 1);^make: *** [ext / dom / node.lo] Error 1

2) Quitar las opciones de compilacion no soportadas tales como (bueno esto es de aucerdo a tu servidor):

 --with-freetype-dir \

--with-imap \

--with-imap-ssl 

3) Debe ser compilado bajo con la opcion --enable-fastcgi y no con enable-cgi ya que esta version de php no soporta compilar con cgi.

before proceeding in make, i have to setup the --prefix=/pot/php-5.4.12 to install the files in that directory, but the only directories created are, bin/ include/ lib/ and php/ .. but etc/ directory!!? is there a way to make it right?

is there any howto to install together php 5.6 and php 7.X?!?

Thank you very much!
