Server operating system version

almalinux 8

Plesk version and microupdate number

I am trying to test my old code base. I need to test with php 5.6 with plesk.

I asked My current host (alma linux 8 os) for php 5.6 , he said his php 5.6 comes with plesk. I need to get that installed.

I did install plesk one click installer and it was smooth install but it seems it did not install php 5.6 , How do i do that

Let me know. Its urgent.

- Use Debian or Ubuntu as your server OS
- add the DEB.SURY.ORG repo to install PHP 5.6
- register this PHP 5.6 with Plesk (plesk bin php_handler --add ....)

I see there is plesk 5.6 but unfortunately it do not have gd 2.33 but gd 2.1 . So it basically do not work.
I try to copy old server remi build gd.so and it do not work either. Why Plesk has old gd in php 5.6.4

I mean is there update? I mean we have this website from 2014 in mediatemple. Why plesk never updated their php 5.6.4 ?

Ok i solved this mess with Ubuntu 22. I dont know all the hype about alma linux. it do not even support php 5.6. Wasted whole week on this nonsense. PLESK comes with outdated php 5.6 . I mean its old compile build. Do not have gd 2.33 and no one from plesk solved this for years.

Cant believe they giving old compile php 5.6
