Additional PHP version

[Red Paint]

Hello,

We're running php5.4 from Atomic on our server (CentOS 6, Plesk 11.09) but we have a client who needs php5.3. I've been looking at this KB article: http://kb.parallels.com/en/114753 and it seems straightforward enough to set up an alternative PHP instance but I'm nervous about following a generic KB and potentially stuffing up the main PHP instance on our server.

Because the KB article doesn't allow comments there aren't any "this worked for me" or "if you're using CentOS remember to do X" etc to support the KB article.

Is it safe to follow this KB article verbatim (prefix and php version aside) and/or are there any areas I should pay specific attention to when following it?

Many thanks

You may read article Multiple PHP Versions in Administrator's Guide.
It contains a bit more information and some comments.

Hello Alxdnr,

I did have a look at that link but as it relates to Plesk 11.5 and I'm running 11.09 it didn't seem to apply?
