Custom php version per directory/folder

Hi all, I'm looking for a solution for custom php versions per directory/folder to override the default php version set for the site/domain, e.g.

mywebsite.com Default php version 8.1
mywebsite.com/anothersite Custom php version 7.4

I found a lot of solutions for overriding the default php version in a directory/folder, but none of them worked for my ISPConfig server. One of the solutions is as follows:

<FilesMatch ".(php4|php5|php3|php2|php|phtml)$">
SetHandler application/x-httpd-alt-phpXX___lsphp
</FilesMatch>

Note:
phpXX (phpversion, like php74)

 

You should enable, then use vhost for sub / alias domain instead but do specify the folder during its setup.

 

Hi ahrasis,
Could you please explain this a bit more? A step by step guide if possible.

 

That's afaik - at least via ISPConfig - not possible at the moment.
You would have to configure a separate FPM pool manually for the PHP version that you want to serve in that subdirectory.
You can use as a FPM pool template a copy of the main PHP-FPM pool config that was assigned via ISPConfig for the webspace.

After setting this FPM pool manually up you need to add the required Apache directive in ISPConfig (haven't tested it, just guessing how it may work):

 

this should allow you to have multiple versions of php on each domain

you could using subdomain - try a link on page 1 (php8.2) display a link to subdomain (php7.2) and make it up by that
separate entities, linking back and forth.

 

Hi michelangelo,

Thanks for your guidance. I have zero experience with manually configuring separate FPM pools, but I'm willing to learn and let you know the final results later.

 

Hi chief,
Thanks for your time. The solution above looks more like using multiple php versions on the server rather than on the domain.

When using ISPConfig, by default, you only have the main PHP version for your distribution. This guide will take you through installing additional PHP versions (5.6, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, 8.1, and 8.2) on a Debian server with ISPConfig. A similar guide is available for Ubuntu systems, which can be found here. "

 

Hi till,
Thanks for that.
Sorry everyone, I forgot to tell you that multiple php versions from 5.6 to 8.x are installed during the server installation.
