Using PHP4 and PHP5 in Plesk 8.1

[>fm_]

Hi there,

is it possible to user PHP4 and PHP5 in any Linux Distribution together with Plesk 8.1 like in Plesk 8.1 for Windows where you can choose the PHP-Version which the User of a Domain wanted to use for there hosting?

Yes, but you have to choose which one has to be running as apache module. Both PHP4 and PHP5 configured as apxs2 module won't work.

We usally use PHP5 as module and PHP4 compiled from vanilla source into a separate path (i.e: /usr/local/php4) and configure virtual host to use the CGI interpreter for a particular file extension (i.e: php4).

Hope this will be useful
