ISPconfig 3.1 how can install multiple versions of PHP (5.6, 7.1 etc.) in Debian 9

Hello, I installed ISPconfig 3.1 with The Perfect Server - Debian 9 (Stretch) with Apache, BIND, Dovecot, PureFTPD and ISPConfig 3.1 without any problems at my Debian 9.1 Server, but I needs install PHP 5.6 and 7.1.

I locked here and found this tutorial How to install PHP 7.x as PHP-FPM & FastCGI for ISPConfig 3.1 with apt on Debian 8 and 9 and everything looks like ok, and I only install PHP 5.6 and 7.1, because the Perfect server came with PHP 7.0, when I check ISPConfig (srv.example.com:8080), Apache show me error 500.

How can I resolve this?, Can give me any Idea?

Thanks

 

Test my System with the ISPConfig test script for common issues
Everything looks ok but I reinstall everything again and I waiting for a solution to install PHP 5.6 and 7.1, how I said above. thanks

 

Me too. I need to install PHP 5.6 on Debian Strech in addition to the PHP 7 that already is installed. I found https://launchpad.net/~ondrej/+archive/ubuntu/php which offers .deb packages of several PHP versions for Debian and Ubuntu new releases.

There is also this: https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial...fig-3-from-debian-packages-on-debian-8-and-9/ which tries to show step by step what to do but the comment indicate problems in some steps. The last comment by Jesse Norell seems to indicate success. I inserted line breaks to make Jesse's comment more readable, but have not yet tried it.

I do not yet have Debian 9 in production, but I have very little confidence on old websites working on PHP 7, so to me it is important to add PHP 5.6 as an alternative on a website by website basis.

 

Hi Taleman!
Yesterday I found this script loocking at Saint Google https://github.com/servisys/ispconfig_setup - this wonderfull script promise install both PHP versions 5.6 and 7.0 BUT (why always exist a BUT????), when the installation finished and tried to logged in didn't let me login. In fact it installed both PHP versions, You can check with ls /etc/php/ command.
if it weren't for this problem it would be perfect.

If you found helpful this info and you can discover the mystery of what happen with it and shared here I will happy.
I needs PHP 5.6 in production because Moodle 3.3 don't works in PHP 7.x
Meanwhile, I still doing test at VMware image.
Let me know if you have any progress with it.
Best regards

 

Hi Taleman!
Good News, Finally It works!
What I do!?:
1) when the installer script ask for expert mode I answer Yes! for two reasons: 1) change the default port 8080 for another one for security reasons like 9000 etc.2) I likes review all parameters of ISPconfig.
2) For all passwords I used numbers, letters and +-,.-_ symbols any other.
and I have installed both versions of PHP

root@srv1:~# ls /etc/php
5.6 7.0



I will doing some test before I feel completely happy!
We keep in contact!
