Plesk 12 - Multiple PHP Versions - CLI?

[futureweb]

Hey there,

for Apache it's no problem to switch the PHP Versions within Plesk - but how can I switch the PHP Versions within the Shell for Customers with Shell Access?

Thank you
Andreas Schnederle-Wagner

Hi futureweb,

you might be looking for a complete tutorial, so I would suggest you try this one: How to enable multiple PHP Versions in Parallels Plesk 11.5 and Plesk Automation 11.5 on Linux ( KB - article 118 378 ). ... and "yes" .. this is for Plesk 12 as well, and it has even been updated today.

Hi UFHH01,

that's how you change the PHP Version of Apache (mod_php, cgi, fast_cgi, ...) not on CLI.

Probably the easiest way is to add the version to the users PATH. For example to set it to use PHP 5.6:

export PATH=/opt/atomic/atomic-php56/root/usr/bin/:$PATH

a more advanced method is to use the SCL functionality the packages are distributed with:
https://access.redhat.com/documenta...set/1/html-single/Software_Collections_Guide/

As for the PATH - this won't work as the Users on this Plesk Server only got CHROOTED ENVs ...
So I guess the only way is to add the correct Version manually to the CHROOT ... :-/

(not looked into the SCL yet)

Hi futureweb,

Hi,
I have PLESK 12/CentOS 6/php-5.3 and also use php-5.2.17 for soma domains.
Following your guide, I tried to install also php-5.1.6, however got following errors at step "Configure".Is the guide valid for any PHP version?
If not, could you send me the correct installation procedure for php-5.1.6?

Just install missing flex:
