Multiple PHP installation

Sat, 06/28/2008 - 10:51 — geetha_sg

Hi Alex,

I am new to this forum also php.

We are using php-4.3.4 and apache 2.0.48, now i need to install php 5 without disturbing the existing setup. Can we run both php 4 and php 5? I have gone through some of the articles that install the php 4 as CGI and php 5 modules.. Can you give me an example to implement this?

Please help me

thanks in advance
Sg..

Re: Multiple PHP installation

You need to install PHP5 as CGI, not as apache module.
Unpack PHP5 and follow the "Configure PHP to use in command prompt" and "Configure Apache Service" sections in
http://www.witsuite.com/support/knowledge-base/manual-installation/install-php.php and skip adding AddType application/x-httpd-php-5.2 .php

Then in the folder where you want to use PHP5 add
AddType application/x-httpd-php-5.2 .php
in .htaccess
