plesk8 with php4 ?

[bizibiz]

I have a new server running under Fedora core 6 and Plesk 8 with php5 installed by default.
Our application require php4 , is there any way to downgrade php5 and keeping this Plesk8 correctly working ?


Thanks for you answer , cordially.

I have the same setup with the exact same problem. Anyone with a solution???

If you need PHP4 I would install a distribution that ships PHP4. I recommend going with CentOS 4 because of it's long lifecycle and similarity to Fedora Core.

and what if i need a different version of MYSQL?
id rather not change the OS to accomodate a version change in software, that seems a little over the top to me.

That's the way most Linux distributions work if you want to stay with official repositories and updates. It's not impossible to use other versions, but it's by far the easiest to go with a distribution that ships the software you want to use.

Are you sure your application doesn't work under PHP5?

my application require php and is not 100% fully compatible with php5 , that's why i expected plesk to work with php4 .

Another way coul be to run php5 binded on 8443 port and php4 for other apache process maybe ?

What do you think about this solution ?

I think that would be a lot of hard work. Plesk works with PHP4 just fine, just get a distribution that ships with PHP4 by default and you'll be fine.

I wouldn't install Fedora Core on a server anyway. It is a nice distribution, but has a very short lifecycle. Expect to reinstall your server in 6-7 months time when FC6 goes EOL.

there is no real probleme to downgrade the php5 for my application , i just wanted to know if there would be any problem or somethin to change/modify on the plesk conf
