Roll your Own Custom PHP?

[autolux]

Hi, i've been running centos with cloudlinux for my WHM server with PHP Selector for a while. However, i have a site on legacy PHP 5.2.x i need to run.

It is working kinda but some functionality is failing under PHP Selector 5.2 (or 5.1 or 5.3)...

Bringing up phpinfo it appears PHP Selector 5.2 uses PHP 5.2.17.

In my local xampp test environment, it does not work under 5.2.17 either... only PHP 5.2.3 seems to work correctly. how can I run this custom version under PHP selector?

looking at the docs;

CloudLinux Documentation

it would seem to be possible, but i'm not really sure about how to go about those instructions? any ideas?

The discussion to this would be more and it is better to consult a professional system administrator who can rebuild/build the required version of PHP for you and make it available for you with customizations in it..

Or, update your legacy code to use newer PHP as that is (without even looking at your code) going to be far easier.

Hello @autolux,

You can access your server via SSH as root to follow the CloudLinux document linked below:

PHP Selector > Roll your own PHP

Can you let us know the specific part of this document you need help with?

Thank you.
