No mistake, just an empty <code>-section in my .xml file ( I saved this for my local howtoforge-like "book" ). I just did a search&replace to change tags to bbcode - I'm going to delete that section
I couldn't wait till sunday. Tonight from my holiday address I VPN into my home network and installed the additional php 5.3.29 fpm. It worked right away also installed APC and tested few times back and fort between Default php 5.6, php 7 and php 5.3.29 works 100%. Then rebooted the (Openvz container) system and tested again and again worked 100%. Super! After the weekend I'm going to install the CGI version. Thanks again!
You still have an issue? Did you configure/enable init.d script before? You might might need to disable it Code: update-rc.d <daemon> disable change <daemon> to the init-script name, also delete that file from /etc/init.d/ afterwards.
I am sure lots of others will be thankful as i am you wrote this comprehensive tutorial how to install the old php 5.3.29 version on debian 8.
