installing php4 and php5 on same apache server

[deleted]

Hi,

i'm trying to install php4 and php5 on same apache but it doesn't work. Can anyoane help me? Thanks.

i have php4 installed in c:\php4 and php5 in c:\php5

if it's possible to install both as module it will be great.

i tryed the following apache settings but it didnt't worked (i saw on a forum)

#PHP4 - module
LoadModule php4_module "c:\php\sapi\php4apache2.dll"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

Listen 127.0.0.1:83
<virtualhost 127.0.0.1:83>
ServerName localhost
ServerAdmin me@localhost
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
ErrorLog c:/tmp/php5.error.log
<location />
<limit CONNECT>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</limit>
</location>

DocumentRoot "d:/htdocs/php5"

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "c:/php5/"

Action php5-script /cgi-bin/php-cgi.exe

AddHandler php5-script .php .html

SetEnv PHPRC c:/php5
ScriptAlias /php5/ "c:/php5/"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
Action application/x-httpd-php "/php5/php-cgi.exe"

</virtualhost>

Pieman86

I'm lazy and would recommend XAMPP (http://www.xampp.org)

The latest version has both PHP4 and PHP5 (and it's easy to switch between the two), if you want to see how it's been configured.

thanks , but i need both php to work in the same time. i can switch them but it's annoying to modify apache config file every time

It is not possible to run them both at the same time as modules.

You may be able to run one as CGI, the other as a module.

The best way of doing it is to run two Apache instances. It's possible to run two Apache instances from the same binaries (thus saving memory), by using the -f parameter to apachectl when starting Apache.

You can run them both as modules at the same time. Check out http://michael.rollis.ch/cowiki/13.html

Alternatively, you can have one running as a module and one as CGI in the same instance of Apache but with different extensions.
