Hi!
I'm currently developing a PHP 5.4 application, but squirrelmail works only properly with PHP 5.3. Is it possible to configure Apache somehow to use different versions of PHP on differenct directories?
thx

When they made PHP slottable, I had my doubts it would work well. They seem to have pulled it off. Actually, I've been able to cheat at the command line and execute the non-eselected PHP by running /usr/lib64/php5.x/bin/php, but I don't know that's a really good practice. Maybe you could do some trickery in the Apache configuration to something crazy to make the two versions work at the same time, but my bet is that 1) you'd have to modify the source for one of the versions of PHP so that its Apache SAPI would expose a different module name, a different soname, and a different handler name, and 2) you'd either need come up with a crazy new file extension for your second type or add per-directory AddHandler directives. All in all, it would be pretty nasty. This fanciful version of 70_mod_php5.conf illustrates one possibility; | Code: | <IfDefine PHP5>
# Load the module first
<IfModule !mod_php5.c>
LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so
LoadModule php54_module modules/libphp54.so
</IfModule>
# Set it to handle the files
<IfModule mod_mime.c>
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php .php5 .phtml
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php54 .php54
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
</IfModule>
DirectoryIndex index.php index.phtml
</IfDefine> |
you could try some other monstrosity. I didn't test any of this, and I don't want to try.
OR you could read the writing on the wall and get ready for the exit of PHP 5.3. The SquirrelMail maintainers have done that and they have patches for PHP 5.4 (and even PHP 5.5) in their development branch. There's a testing version of the prelease 1.4.32 in Portage, but judging from the changelog and what I see on the http://www.squirrelmail.org/ site, that version either lacks PHP 5.4 support or has only an early version of it. If I were thinking of SquirrelMail on PHP 5.4, I sure would grab that upstream patch. Making your own local overlay for that is not very tricky. (Come back and ask if you'd like help with that.) |
