Could anyone give me advice to run two PHP, the php5.3 should run mod_ruid2.

Thank you.

I have set:
./build set php2_release 5.4
./build set php2_mode suphp

After run command:
./build update
./build versions

and got this message:
"WARNING: It's not recommended to use apache with mod_ruid2 & suPHP enabled. It's a redundant and slow combination."
 
It's only a warning. If your requirement is to have mod_ruid2 installed, there is no other way to have 2 PHP versions. The slowness is slight and affects only the 2nd version of PHP.
 
I`ll give it a shot and try to setup second php.
I hope i`m not braking anything.
 
php5.3 and php5.4 seems to be installed.

Only thing I`m facing now is that i need to add man ually to virtual host:
Code: 
<FilesMatch "\.php$">
AddHandler x-httpd-php54 .php
</FilesMatch>
<FilesMatch \.php53$>
AddHandler x-httpd-php53 .php53
</FilesMatch>

Should I run any command to reconfigure setting/options for each virtual host?
Otherwise when I change the php version in DA my added code is gone.
 
I think i have a clue what i need to change.
In directory: /usr/local/directadmin/data/templates
I need to change?
1) virtual_host2.conf
or
2) virtual_host.conf

What I need to edit to make it work, so I don`t need to edit any users virtualhost manually?
 
Just some advise to think about:
I want to have two php versions on my server php 5.3.x and 5.4.x

Isn't it better to use 5.4 and 5.5 for example? Because 5.3 and 5.4 are both are declared not only end of life but also end of support, which means there will be no more updates and/or security fixes for either 5.3 and 5.4.

That is a good point!
Thank you!
 
About:
Code: 
<FilesMatch "\.php$">
AddHandler x-httpd-php54 .php
</FilesMatch>
<FilesMatch \.php53$>
AddHandler x-httpd-php53 .php53
</FilesMatch>

Was the thing with custom templates for: virtual_host2.conf
In directory: /usr/local/directadmin/data/templates/custom

I have removed it and run command: ./build rewrite_confs

And now everything works fine, just need to run some random tests to be sure.

Thank you for great support!
