Ondrej has a launchpad site for ubuntu. There are several older versions of php that can be installed, though he doesn't do 5.3 anymore. Using the following repository entry, I was able to install php 5.5 alongside the 7.0 version.

Thank you for pointing this out. My Ubuntu won't let me use that repo, claiming it is not signed and therfore insecure. I tried to get over this, with --allow-unauthenticated; which didn't work either. It is also claiming weak key of virtualmin repos (SHA1),

W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net/ondrej/php/ubuntu xenial InRelease: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 4F4EA0AAE5267A6C

I googled around, but only found that --allow-unauthenticated option, which won't change things. Then i would have just to do a apt-get install php5 and then could select it in virtualmin or are there other things to do beforehand?

@Eric: Could you fix that please?

Hello Just_me,

Sorry for taking so long: I don't get notifications things have been updated here...

I honestly can't recall how I got ubuntu16.04 lts to accept the gpg key. I think it asked me if I really wanted to use it, and I said yes. it looks like I got it running on 13 September, but I don't see anything in my history file after "add apt-repository"...

I think I used synaptic afterwards as a gui. Maybe it asked me...

Sorry I can't help more.

Looks like this keyproblem can be fixed like this:

apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 4F4EA0AAE5267A6C

Oh, another one: if you just enter

apt-get install php5

this won't be found. you have to do

apt-get install php5.6

or whatever version you want to install.

i have to admit, that i also did this, before fixing the key, am not sure, whether this was helping as well:

apt-get install python-software-properties

Just in case.
