running PHp 4.3 and PHP 5.3 side by side (screwed up my config)

[el_dorito]

Hello,

I need to run PHP 4.3.9 (don't ask) and PHP 5.3 side by side on my server. I found this tutorial but it doesn't work. Probably because earlier I tried to run PHP 5.2 and PHP 5.3 side by side. This thread did what it promised but since then I'm no longer able to downgrade to PHP 4.3 and php 5.3. It still tries to install PHP 6 and PHP 5 side by side

So now I'm looking for a solution. Tried changing the config file but to no avail. Anyone here has an idea what might be wrong?

Would love to start out with a clean slate without destroying the packages that now run on the server.

Thanks alot for responding!

Hello,

I could suggest using custombuild 1.1 for installing PHP4, and custombuild 1.2 for installing PHP5.3. I'm running PHP4 and PHP5 on one of production servers. But in this case we use suPHP for both versions, and some custom modifications might be required (to apache and suphp configuration files).
