Multiple PHP Versions not real multiple

[PaulHeider]

I followed this tutorial. Everything was okay, but the version does not change.

/usr/local/psa/bin/php_handler --list ouputs this:

           id:  display name:  full version:  version:    type:           cgi-bin:                php.ini:  custom:
  4.4.9-custom          4.4.9          5.3.2       5.3      cgi   /usr/bin/php-cgi  /usr/local/lib/php.ini     true
           cgi          5.3.2          5.3.2       5.3      cgi  /usr/bin/php5-cgi   /etc/php5/cgi/php.ini    false
       fastcgi          5.3.2          5.3.2       5.3  fastcgi  /usr/bin/php5-cgi   /etc/php5/cgi/php.ini    false
        module          5.3.2          5.3.2       5.3   module  /usr/bin/php5-cgi   /etc/php5/cgi/php.ini    false

What went wrong?
Thanks for help.

Are you sure that correct path to PHP CGI binary file is /usr/bin/php-cgi but not /usr/local/bin/php-cgi ?

 

[PaulHeider]

I think so. I generated the handler with:

/usr/local/psa/bin/php_handler --add -displayname 4.4.9 -path /usr/bin/php-cgi -phpini /usr/local/lib/php.ini -type cgi -id 4.4.9-custom

Please run # /usr/bin/php-cgi --version

 

[PaulHeider]

# /usr/local/bin/php-cgi --version
/usr/local/bin/php-cgi: No such file or directory

# /usr/bin/php-cgi --version
PHP 5.3.2-1ubuntu4.19 with Suhosin-Patch (cgi-fcgi)

Where is my php 4.4.9 binary? How can I find it?

# updatedb 
# locate php-cgi
/etc/alternatives/php-cgi
/etc/alternatives/php-cgi-bin
/etc/alternatives/php-cgi.1.gz
/usr/bin/php-cgi
/var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/php-cgi
/var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/php-cgi-bin

Is it possible, that anything was wrong with building PHP (step 2 and 3 of the tutorial)?

With this tutorial, I have successful installed 5.4.17 as second php version.

Installing PHP CLI binary: /usr/local/bin/
Installing PHP CLI man page: /usr/local/php/man/man1/
Installing PHP CGI binary: /usr/local/bin/
Installing build environment: /usr/local/lib/php/build/
Installing header files: /usr/local/include/php/
Installing helper programs: /usr/local/bin/

 

[PaulHeider]

Thats it! the binary of php 4.4.9 CGI binary is /usr/local/bin/php.

Thanks a lot.

Hello All,

I'm sorry to ask you, but it seems I forgot something during the installation...
I don't see any change on my PHP version (information by phpinfo) after following the procedure.

I registered my PHP 4.4.9 version in the Handler but no change occurs...

I'm sure that I have this problem because I'm new to programming so I'm sure it's my entiere fault if it doesn't works...

- Is there any inevitably required things to put in this function ? "./configure" If yes, may someone should be friendly to give me an exemple for PHP 4.4.9 on Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS...

- When "make install" finished, if there some particular tasks to do ?

- In the Tutorial it said to use "cp php.ini-development /usr/local/lib/php.ini"
We agree that the php.ini-development file is the one that is located on the installation directory at the end ?
Is there any additionnal configuration to do with this file or can we use it without make any change ?

- I installed the same PHP version as PaulHeider but I can't find the CGI binary at the same path... Is it normal ? "/usr/local/bin/php"

I would thank you all the people that could help me

Best regards,
Baptiste.

Hi! This is minimal instruction for adding php 4.4.9 to plesk

apt-get install gcc flex
wget http://us1.php.net/distributions/php-4.4.9.tar.gz
tar xfvz php-4.4.9.tar.gz
cd php-4.4.9
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/php449
make && make install
cp php.ini-dist /usr/local/lib/php.ini
plesk bin php_handler --add -displayname 4.4 -path /usr/local/php449/bin/php -phpini /usr/local/lib/php.ini -type cgi

PS: all actions with the server you're making at your own risk

 

[Cheshire]

try this:
apt-get install gcc flex
wget http://us1.php.net/distributions/php-4.4.9.tar.gz
tar xfvz php-4.4.9.tar.gz
cd php-4.4.9
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/php449
make && make install
cp php.ini-dist /usr/local/lib/php.ini
plesk bin php_handler --add -displayname 4.4 -path /usr/local/php449/bin/php -phpini /usr/local/lib/php.ini -type cgi

We have already submitted request for documentation correction (#139620 for your reference) We will make it more clear.

Hello,

I would like to thank you Cheshire because the commands you gives works well
I have been able to install php4.4.9 and php5.2.13 with those commands !

Thank you again
Best regards,
Baptiste.

Hello again,

Sorry to ask again something but I just realized that PHP doesn't support Mysql with that kind of configuration...

So I tried to reinstall PHP 5.2.13 with Mysql support, all is fine untill I see this error during "./configure"
checking for MySQL support... yes
checking for specified location of the MySQL UNIX socket... no
checking for MySQL UNIX socket location... /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
configure: error: Cannot find libmysqlclient under /usr.
Note that the MySQL client library is not bundled anymore!


The command I'm using is :
'./configure' --prefix=/usr/local/php449 '--disable-cli' '--disable-discard-path' '--disable-force-cgi-redirect' '--with-libdir=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu' '--with-pear=/usr/share/php5' '--with-png-dir=/usr --other-options' '--enable-exif' '--enable-ftp' '--enable-bcmath' '--with-libdir=lib64' '--with-png-dir' --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local/lib '--enable-calendar' '--enable-gd-native-ttf' '--with-freetype-dir' '--with-gettext' '--with-zlib-dir' '--with-xpm-dir=/usr' '--with-openssl' '--with-kerberos' '--enable-sysvsem' '--enable-sysvshm' '--enable-mbstring=all' '--enable-mbregex' '--with-mysql' '--with-mysqli' '--with-curl' '--with-xsl' '--with-pdo-mysql' '--with-pspell' '--enable-zip' '--enable-soap' '--enable-cgi'

Why is it not able to find it ?
I tried to define some paths to it but it don't works either...

Best regards.

 

[Cheshire]

Use this: './configure --prefix=/usr/local/php449 --with-mysql --with-mysql-sock' for mysql support.

Note that php 4 has old mysql client and you should use old password for mysql users:
mysql> SET PASSWORD FOR 'some_user'@'some_host' = OLD_PASSWORD('newpwd');
