I know there's an option on Virtualmin Pro to setup virtual servers with PHP4 or PHP5. I am using Virtualmin GPL with PHP5.2.6 and last week I have found a PHP script (with MySQL DB) that is written for PHP4 and doesn't work that fine on PHP5.2.6.
So I would like to know if there maybe is a slight chance to do something with my CentOS v5.2 server with latest updates (also for Web- and Virtualmin) so I can also install PHP4 and leave PHP5 installed and working on the same server?
I only need PHP4 for this one script, too bad my PHP knowledge is too little to convert the script, so that's why I'm hoping I could maybe solve the issue with PHP4 and PHP5 on the same server.....I really really would like to use this script :)

Hi....I'm back again :)
After reading some topics on the forum and some of the documentation I have installed PHP4 from the Virtualmin repository.
After installing I found the php4.conf file in /etc/httpd/conf.d directory and edited with vim to the following and restarted httpd:
[code:1]
#
# PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language which attempts to make it
# easy for developers to write dynamically generated webpages.
#
LoadModule php4_module modules/libphp4.so
#
# Cause the PHP interpreter to handle files with a .php extension.
#
#AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php4
#
# Add index.php to the list of files that will be served as directory
# indexes.
#
DirectoryIndex index.php4
[/code:1]
In my php.conf (for PHP5) I also added a line like this: "AddType application/x-httpd-php .php5"
Unfortunately, only disabling the libphp5.so module in my php.conf file will load PHP4.4.8 with apache, how can I make sure that PHP4 (which loads without errors on apache) will be active for a particular domain?

Okay,
Right now I am at the following point:
- Installed mod_fcgi from the Virtualmin repo
- Installed PHP4 from the Virtualmin repo and enabled it in /etc/httpd/conf.d/php4.conf
[code:1]LoadModule php4_module modules/libphp4.so
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php4
DirectoryIndex index.php4[/code:1]
- SuExec is compiled with '-D AP_DOC_ROOT="/home"'
- Copied /etc/php4/php.ini to /home/domain/etc/php4/php.ini
- Created /home/domain/fcgi-bin/php4.fcgi with the following lines:
[code:1]#!/bin/bash
export PHPRC=$PWD/../etc/php4/php.ini
#PHPRC=$PWD/../etc/php4/php.ini
#export PHPRC
umask 022
SCRIPT_FILENAME=$PATH_TRANSLATED
export SCRIPT_FILENAME
exec /usr/bin/php-cgi[/code:1]
- Created /home/domain/public_html/httpd.conf and added the following lines:
[code:1]<Directory /home/domain/public_html>
Options Indexes IncludesNOEXEC FollowSymLinks ExecCGI
allow from all
AllowOverride All
AddHandler fcgid-script .php
AddHandler fcgid-script .php4
FCGIWrapper /home/domain/fcgi-bin/php4.fcgi .php
</Directory>
<Directory /home/domain/cgi-bin>
allow from all
</Directory>
RemoveHandler .php
RemoveHandler .php4[/code:1]
- chowned the new created folders and files to the correct user:group
- Restarted httpd without any errors.
When I try to load a PHPinfo page I get the following output:
- phpinfo.php :: PHP Version 5.2.6
- phpinfo.php4 :: PHP Version 5.2.6
- phpinfo.php5 :: PHP Version 5.2.6
My /var/log/https/suexec/log shows the following output:
[2008-12-21 00:24:47]: uid: (user:group) gid: (user:group) cmd: php4.fcgi
It looks like I have some misconfiguration somewhere, but I cannot find it.
Does somebody maybe sees what misconfiguration I have?
The PHP command being called by php4.fcgi in your case is "/usr/bin/php-cgi".
So, what's the output of this:
/usr/bin/php-cgi -v
It's possible that's PHP5 rather than PHP4. If so, just make sure thats pointed at the right PHP version.

Hi Eric,
The output is as follows:
[code:1][root@vm1 ~]# /usr/bin/php-cgi -v
PHP 5.2.6 (cgi-fcgi) (built: Sep 27 2008 17:51:16)[/code:1]
So it looks like something goes wrong there.
I can also not find any php-cgi file from v4 on my system...maybe it's there, but I sure cannot find it :)
Do you maybe got any pointers for me where to look or what to do?
Regards,
Molski
You probably have PHP4 available as something like "/usr/bin/php4-cgi".
Put that in place of the last line in your php4.fcgi file.
-Eric
Nope, unfortunately not :(
I installed all PHP4 Packages from the Virtualmin repo (via yum), but in /usr/sbin only, php, php4 and php-cgi (from v5.2.6) are found.
What RPM file on the Virtualmin repo holds the php-cgi file, do you maybe know that (or Joe...) ?
What do you get when you type this:
rpm -qa | grep php
Next, what does this show:
find /usr/bin | grep php
Hi,
"rpm -qa | grep php" Shows me the following output:
[code:1][root@vm1]# rpm -qa | grep php
php-common-5.2.6-1.el5.vmbleed
php-mbstring-5.2.6-1.el5.vmbleed
php-pecl-mailparse-2.1.4-1.fc9
php-pdo-5.2.6-1.el5.vmbleed
php-mcrypt-5.2.6-1.el5.vmbleed
php-pear-1.4.9-4.el5.1
php-mysql-5.2.6-1.el5.vmbleed
php-5.2.6-1.el5.vmbleed
php-xml-5.2.6-1.el5.vmbleed
php-cli-5.2.6-1.el5.vmbleed
php-imap-5.2.6-1.el5.vmbleed
php4-4.4.8-1vm.i386.rpm
php4-mbstring-4.4.8-1vm.i386.rpm

php4-gd-4.4.8-1vm.i386.rpm

php4-imap-4.4.8-1vm.i386.rpm
php4-xmlrpc-4.4.8-1vm.i386.rpm
[/code:1]
And the command "find /usr/bin | grep php" shows me:
[code:1][root@vm1]# find /usr/bin | grep php
/usr/bin/php-cgi
/usr/bin/php
/usr/bin/php4[/code:1]
And "/usr/bin/php-cgi -v" shows me:
[code:1][root@vm1]# /usr/bin/php-cgi -v
PHP 5.2.6 (cgi-fcgi) (built: Sep 27 2008 17:51:16)[/code:1]
Looks like php-cgi is only available for PHP5, do I maybe need a file called php-cgi4 or soomething, or php-cgi but in another directory?
So if you type "yum whatprovides php4-cgi", does anything show up?
Also, what does this show:
/usr/bin/php4 -v
