PHP 4.3.10< Auto-Build With WHM

[LeeHambley]

Hey All,

Firstly, thanks to the creators of WHM/cPanel -- it's been incredibly valuable to the course of my business.

Unfortunatley a client requires PHP <4.3.10 for a certian (CodeCrypter) module that requires that specific version of PHP, and I'm unable to find how to add extra version of PHP to the WHM EaayApache build options system.

I've uploaded the tarballs, and extracted files to /home/cpapachebuild/buildapache/ as I was lead to believe this may result in the new version being visible to the WHM build manager, however this was not the case.

If anyone could pose a solition, It would be most gratefully recieved as this problem has already consumed half my afternoon!

Best Wishes,

Lee Hambley

Those versions of php are full of security holes and has been removed from the build procedure. The oldest version you should run is v4.4.4 these days, otherwise you're exposing the server to hackers. If you want that ancient one, you'll have to build it by hand in shell.
