Question regarding "Multiple PHP Versions in Plesk on Linux"

WirajPS

New Pleskian
Good morning,

I'm trying to follow the steps in: http://download1.parallels.com/Ples...inistrator-guide/index.htm?fileName=72042.htm and I have a few questions before I start the process:

1. I have download the "tar" file from the PHP website and now... Where I have to upload that file?

2. After doing that I will: tar -xf php-NN.tar

3. cd ../php-NN
./configure --prefix /usr/local/phpNN
make
make install


4. cp php.ini-development /usr/local/lib/php.ini

5. /usr/local/psa/bin/php_handler --add -displayname <NN> -path <path to php cgi> -phpini <path to php.ini> -type <php handler> -id <NN-custom>

And after that... everything is going to work? Am I missing something?

Edit: I want a PHP 5.4+ because I need to install a Joomla 3.3.3 in my dedicated server.

Thanks in advance.

Hi IgorG,

I don't find it difficult, I just say that maybe there are more steps than the official guide and I don't want to avoid any of them
That's why I create this question because I want to know every line that I have to write in the SSH console in order to work an another PHP version in my PLESK.

Thanks.
