在多个php环境中运行php5.3失败

Question

I'm working on a Ubtuntu System with PHP versions installed: 5.3.30 / 5.5.9 / 5.6.27 / 7.0.1

I'm able to switch between 5.5, 5.6 and 7.0 easily with a2enmod and a2dismod. But I am not able to run 5.3. I always get 5.5 instead. I followed following guides:

first guide

second guide

Then I tried to enable the 5.3 with a special vhost configuration and also with htaccess Addhandler directive. Nothing works. I think the reason is, that 5.3 has to be called in another way, but I've no idea anymore.

Answer 1

so guide #3 should look like:

• wget http://in1.php.net/distributions/php-5.3.29.tar.bz2
• tar -jxvf php-5.3.29.tar.bz2
• cd php-5.3.29
• ./configure --prefix=/path/to/custom/location --with-apxs2 --with-WHATEVER-YOU-NEED --enable-WHATEVER-YOU-NEED
• make

after that libphp5.so along with all requested shared libs will be in /path/to/custom/location/lib, which should be reflected in apache2 config.

just a sidenote: PHP 5.3 is too old, buggy and has lots of deprecated stuff so using it will bring a lot of pain
