Configure multiple PHP versions in Apache

In our case the server is working with PHP 5.6 and we are going to add a virtualhost to work with PHP 7.1, now ===

In this post we are going to see how to configure different versions of PHP in Apache.

In our case the server is working with PHP 5.6 and we are going to add a virtualhost to work with PHP 7.1, we already saw previously how to install PHP 7.1 in GNU/Linux:

How to install PHP 7.1 on GNU/Linux

We begin by installing the necessary packages:

Redhat:

Bash

yum install rh-php71-php-fpm-7.1.8-1.el7.x86_64

Debian:

Bash

apt -y install php-fpm

We create the Virtualhost in which we are going to configure PHP 7.1

Apache

cat /etc/httpd/conf.d/lab.red-orbita.com.conf
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

ServerName lab.red-orbita.com

ServerAlias lab.red-orbita.com

DocumentRoot /var/www/lab/

ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/lab.red-orbita.com-error_log

CustomLog /var/log/httpd/lab.red-orbita.com-access_log combined
ProxyPassMatch ^/(.*\.php(/.*)?)$ fcgi://127.0.0.1:9000/var/www/lab/$1
<Directory «/var/www/lab/»>

DirectoryIndex index.html index.php

AllowOverride All

Require all granted

</Directory>

</VirtualHost>

We configure the Listen of php-fpm, in my case since I have installed it with REMI the location is: /etc/opt/rh/rh-php71/php-fpm.d/, normally the location would be /etc/php-fpm.d/

Bash

sed -i «s/listen =.*/listen = 127.0.0.1:9000/» /etc/opt/rh/rh-php71/php-fpm.d/www.conf

We restart apache and php-fpm

Red hat:

Bash

systemctl restart httpd  rh-php71-php-fpm.service

Debian:

We activate the module and restart

Bash

a2enmod proxy_fcgi
systemctl restart php7.1-fpm apache2

All the best.

:wq!
