Hello
Did someone try to run php 4 and 5 together.
Some servers are confgired with php 4 and 5.and when you want to use scripts coded in php 5 you have to name it *.php5...
how to do this please help....



cPanel box:
WHM 9.9.9 cPanel 9.9.9-S15
CentOS 3.3 i686 - WHM X v3.1.0

excuse me for my English

why not post the instructions here for others?

I'm not planning to do it myself, but it would still be interesting to read.

U.K.
cd /usr/local
wget http://uk2.php.net/get/php-5.0.3.tar.gz/from/www.php.net/mirror
tar -xvzf php-5.0.3.tar.gz.1
cd php-5.0.3
./configure' '--with-xml' '--enable-bcmath' '--enable-calendar' '--enable-ftp' '--enable-magic-quotes' '--with-mysql' '--enable-discard-path' '--with-pear' '--enable-sockets' '--enable-track-vars' '--enable-versioning' '--with-zlib' '--disable-debug' '--prefix=/usr/local/php5' '--enanble-force-cgi-redirect' '--with-config-file=/usr/local/php5/lib/php.ini' '--with-config-file-path=/usr/local/php5/lib/
make
make install
cd /usr/local/
cp php-5.0.3/php.ini-dist php5/lib/php.ini
rm -rf php-5.0.3.tar.gz.1

----------------------------------------------------------------------
php5 should now be installed along php4 now do the following
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
cd /usr/local/apache/conf/
pico httpd.conf
ctr + w addtype
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
add below the php4 add types
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
AddType application/x-httpd-php5 .php5
ScriptAlias /php/ "/usr/local/php5/bin/"
Action application/x-httpd-php5 "/php/php"


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
last thing
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
service httpd restart

then create a file called phpinfo.php5 and create phpinfo.php and put the following code in it
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<?php phpinfo('');
?>

then test it out it should most of the time work

Doesn't work here; not only that, but after it's installed you suddenly get weird requests from all over the place!

Haven't tried it but I noticed a mistake in the config

'--enahble-force-cgi-' should be be '--enable-force-cgi-'

I'm running both php4 and php5 on my server. I've done this an onther way.
I have 2 apaches running. One for php4 and one for php5. The one for php4 on port 80 and the other on 81. I also setup a reverse proxy between the 2 apaches. This way i forward all php5 request on the port80 to the other.

I also writen a script to copy all virtual host tag in the from the one to the other config file. And run this every night.

If you are getting the error when you put in the code, rmeove the first ' after ./configure.

It looks like:

./configure'

But should be:

./configure

Has anyone an idea how to make this work without commenting out this lines on every VirtualHost that you want it to work?

Has it something to do with PHPSuexec?
Where can the permissions be set, for what are these Tags in the VirtualHost?

Thanks
