PHP 5.3.3 and 5.2.17

[Funstar]

Hey there,

I got Plesk 10.2 running on Debian 6 (x64) with PHP 5.3.3. Now I need to use PHP 5.2.17 for a single subdomain, cause it needs the old Zend Optimizer to run. Now I have no idea how to do this. PHP 5.2.17 has been installed to /usr/local/bin/php and linked to /usr/lib/cgi-bin/php52:

root@srv01:/usr/lib/cgi-bin# ./php52 -v
PHP 5.2.17 (cli) (built: Jun 10 2011 17:58:22)
Copyright (c) 1997-2010 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.2.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2010 Zend Technologies
root@srv01:/usr/lib/cgi-bin# ./php -v
PHP Warning:  Directive 'safe_mode' is deprecated in PHP 5.3 and greater in Unknown on line 0

    with Suhosin v0.9.32.1, Copyright (c) 2007-2010, by SektionEins GmbH
root@srv01:/usr/lib/cgi-bin#

Now I am stuck. Nothing I tried to write into the subdomains vhost.conf made it using PHP 5.2.17, always 5.3.3. Thanks for your help.

This is for installing a different php version. you need to change the mysql location in the config

Adjust php version to the wanted/needed.

PHP Install 5.3 Install
===========================
----------------------
cd /usr/local/src/
wget http://in3.php.net/get/php-5.3.1.tar.gz/from/us.php.net/mirror
tar xzvf php-5.3.1.tar.gz
cd php-5.3.1
./configure --enable-bcmath --enable-calendar --enable-exif --enable-ftp --enable-gd-native-ttf --enable-libxml --enable-mbstring --enable-sockets --prefix=/usr/local/php53/ --with-freetype-dir=/usr --with-gd --with-gettext --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql51 --with-mysql-sock=/var/lib/mysql51/mysql.sock --with-mysqli=/usr/local/mysql51/bin/mysql_config --with-openssl=/usr --with-openssl-dir=/usr --with-png-dir=/usr --with-sqlite=shared --with-xmlrpc --with-zlib --with-zlib-dir=/usr --with-config-file-path=/usr/local/etc/
make
make install

----------------------

Inorder to use PHP 5.3 in a domain, you need to add the following in the domain's corresponding configuration file under the virtualhost entry and restart the apache.

-----------
ScriptAlias /local-bin /usr/local/php53/bin
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 php
Action application/x-httpd-php5 /local-bin/php-cgi
-----------

Simply adding a domain in plesk inerface will over-write you config in te vhost file!
webmgsrv will re-write all vhosts!
# AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 php
Plesk is currently running on php 5.1!

I am curios if this is working!

plesk overwrites the http.include file

plesk does not overwrite the vhost.conf file, this is intented to enter domain-specific apache config.

I have no doubt that you understood that you dont ad php to the domain trough plesk and that in your readings of the knowledgebase you came across this artikel

Couldn't you change the handler with an .htaccess?

No

What to configure where is essential knowledge of every server administrator

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/
http://www.php.net/manual/en/

If you dont have that knowledge it is time to start reading the manuals, or hire someone who knows how to admin a server.
