    hello,
    I just finish to install on VMware "The Perfect Server - Ubuntu 20.04 with Apache..." and I'm trying to install somes old PHP version such as 5.6/ 7.0 / 7.2. Last time with Ubuntu 18.04 I used this tutorial "How to install PHP 5.6 and 7.0 - 7.4 as PHP-FPM & FastCGI for ISPConfig 3.1 with apt on Debian 8 to 10" (Cannot find one for ISPConfig / Ubuntu). But this time it doesn't work.

    Package php5.6-json is not available, but is referred to by another package.
    This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
    is only available from another source

    I get the same message for PHP 7.0 / 7.1 / 7.2 / 7.3.

    How can I install old PHP versions ?

    For Ubuntu, you have to add the ppa from ondrej instead of adding debian sury repo to sources list:

    https://launchpad.net/~ondrej/+archive/ubuntu/php/

    Code:
    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php
    sudo apt-get update

    Btw. The easier way would have been to use the new auto installer https://www.howtoforge.com/ispconfig-autoinstall-debian-ubuntu/ instead of the perfect server guide, as it installs all parts needed for ISPConfig incl. all additional PHP versions automatically.

    Thanks. With ondrej, I was able to install all PHP version.
    The "new auto installer" is a little beyond my Unix knowledge :) (I'm a web developer)
    I will not be able to know what package I need and what I can skip :confused:

    In that case, just use the default mode. It will install the same as the image.
