SOLUTION: DEBIAN multiple PHP version

Hi,
I just wanted to share how to have multiple PHP versions in ISPConfig with Debian

Solution:

Code:

apt-get install makejail 
apt-get install debootstrap

chose a directory, e.g. /srv/php

Code:

mkdir /srv/php
cd /srv/php
debootstrap squeeze .
chroot .
vi /etc/apt/sources.list

Update this to your preferred sources, e.g.

Code:

deb http://cdn.debian.net/debian/ sid main non-free contrib

then, the usual:

Code:

apt-get update;apt-get upgrade

now we are ready to install php-fpm:

Code:

apt-get install php-pear php5-adodb php5-cli php5-common php5-fpm php5-gd php5-imap php5-json php5-mcrypt php5-memcache php5-mysqlnd php5-mysqlnd-ms php5-readline php5-sasl php5-xmlrpc php5-xsl

Create www dir:

Code:

mkdir -p /var/www

Now, PHP in the jail is more or less ready. If you want, edit /etc/php5/fpm/php.ini (i added short_tags = on to allow <? instead of <?php ).

Exit the chroot (ctrl-D or exit)

This was phase 1.
In ISPConfig, go to System -> Additional PHP versions; click "Add new PHP version"

The name is e.g. php 5.5.4
fastCGI settings: Leave empty
PHP-FPM settings:
Path to init script: /etc/init.d/chrooted-fpm
Path to php.ini: /srv/php/etc/php5/fpm
Path to pool: /srv/php/etc/php5/fpm/pool.d

Now, all that is missing is a init script outside the pool.
edit /etc/init.d/chrooted-fpm

Code:

#!/bin/bash

#always a good idea - these must not be out of sync. If you have /etc and /srv on the same FS, you can also do a hard link.
for I in passwd group shadow;do
        cp /etc/$I $JAIL/etc/$I
done

case "$1" in
    start)
        echo "starting chrooted debian system (php-fpm) in $ROOT";

        mount -o bind /proc $JAIL/proc
        mount -o bind /var/www $JAIL/var/www

        chroot $JAIL /bin/bash << EOF
        /etc/init.d/php5-fpm start
EOF
        ;;

    stop)
        echo "stopping chrooted debian system (php-fpm) in $ROOT";
        chroot $JAIL /bin/bash << EOF
        /etc/init.d/php5-fpm stop
EOF
        umount $JAIL/proc
        umount $JAIL/var/www
        ;;

    *)
        chroot $JAIL /bin/bash << EOF
        /etc/init.d/php5-fpm $1
EOF
        ;;
esac

Install the runlevel scripts:

Code:

update-rc.d chrooted-fpm defaults

and you are done.

 

Hi Till,
the difference is that above solution actually does not require recompiling and allows updating via Apt instead of re-downloading and re-compiling (which is - in my opinion - a major advantage )
