Hello Support,

We have plesk in both Linux & Windows server. We can able to change the PHP version for each website. Whether is it possible to have different PHP version for each folders?

Awaiting your reply.

Hi, @Thomas Oryon . No, it's not possible to configure a different PHP version on a per directory-basis. However, if you provide more details on the context of your question and an example of your end goal, we can try to suggest an alternative.

Hi, @Thomas Oryon ,
If this can help I do exactly this with some .htaccess magic.
Context:
1. create a subdomain for the domain, just to select the php handler your want to use in your folder.
2. reroute the handler from that subdomain in a .htaccess in the folder.

Here under an example of a folder where I wanted another php handler (handler has to exist in your Plesk/System) than the one that is defined for the website.

#This WORKS! I replace the SetHandler with a line from another hosting with php I want
#Add this at the beginning of your .htaccess
RemoveHandler .php
<Files ~ (\.php)>
SetHandler None
SetHandler proxy:unix:///var/www/vhosts/system/<existing subdomain.yourdomain.tld with handler you want>/php-fpm.sock|fcgi://127.0.0.1:9000
Options +ExecCGI
allow from all
</Files>
