2 versions of PHP (the second old).. i know

[TestUser]

hey all!
i have already 2 versions of PHP on my DA server
1st version 7.0 (fpm) IS OK!
2nd version 5.6 (fpm) => downgrade to 5.4
now i want to downgrade 2nd version to version 5.4

I get this error=> php 5.3, 5.4, 5.5 cannot compile against openssl 1.1.0 or higher. Try php 5.6 or higher.
I want 1st version to be as it is...just do downgrade the second
any help highly apreciated!

You won't be able to downgrade to anything lower than PHP 5.6 on Debian 9/10 or CentOS 8 due to the OpenSSL version on these operating systems being too recent. You can try to make this guide by Martynas work: https://forum.directadmin.com/threads/how-to-build-php-5-3-5-4-5-5-on-debian9-10-centos8.58672/

It might work on CentOS 8 but I haven't had good results testing on Debian 9/10.

No, the ./build php_expert command will only build the version you specify, so if you set 5.4 php-fpm as second php version and run ./build php_expert 5.4 php-fpm, it wil only install your second php version.

yes but it wont work

It might work I've only tested with PHP 5.3 if I remember well. If you would like I can try to build PHP 5.4 later today on a Debian 10 server, don't have a Debian 9 one available atm.

YES this is what im talking about... it wont work

you always can try manually to compile it from source code with old openssl
