Possible to install lower PHP versions?

[server002]

I have a dedicated server with 2 users. One of the users requires php versions lower then what is installed now.

I went into the users accoutn and currently there is 4 versions installed.

PHP 7.0 php-fpm
PHP 7.3 php-fpm
PHP 7.4 php-fpm
PHP 8.1 php-fpm



I'm looking to get PHP 5.6 php-fpm


How do I go about installing a different version to it shows up in the screenshot above?

I am using Rocky Linux

you need to replace one of versions, at admin level look to custombuild menu.

I am using Rocky Linux

If it is Rocky Linux 9+, there is no known to me way to install PHP 5.6 from sources. As an option you might migrate to CloudLinux 9 or changed to RockyLinux/AlmaLinux 8 version.

I turns out i was using rocky linux 8.

I found that in the custom build options area i could select the php version i needed. I replaced one of them then. i rebuilt php in the build section

Then i went back to the user panel and i changed it over to php 5.6 and my website worked! YAY











I hope the pictures helps others and thanks for the help i received in this thread


The only issue i face now is when i went to phpmyadmin it shows:

PHP 7.2.5+ is required.

Currently installed version is: 5.6.40

I don't actualy need to use phpmyadmin but i found it odd i was not able to access it

That is because phpmyadmin is now a newer version.

You can however fix this. Just run php 7.4 or better php 8.0 as first php version and set php 5.6 as second or 3rd version or something.
This way phpmyadmin can be used.
