One of our clients has a server which is running PHP 5.3.3 (in our understanding it is mod_php, apache, Centos 6).

Is it possible to install ANOTHER php version (say PHP 8.0) in say php-fpm for a different virtual host in this machine (but keeping the mod_php for the current domains) ?

Actually we have studied by looking at examples on web, but they advised to install multiple PHP version thru php-fpm (both), but we want to know whether it is possible to do it in mod_php + php-fpm.

Just a few bullets points for guiding us is already very helpful (say the main steps, etc.)

I should be very grateful if someone can provide advice on this. Thank you.

  • Without knowing what OS they're running and what problems you've run into, the best answer we can give is "yes"

  • Apologies, the OS is Centos Linux 6.0. The problem is - the client is running an old system , but rather critical so they would like "not to touch/change" this system, but they plan to deploy a new system requiring new PHP version (PHP 8.0) - the question has been revised to make it clearer. Thanks

    While it might be possible, is it required that it even be the same system at all? Can the client afford a second server? (It would then be possible to eventually migrate the old system into a container within the new server, ending up with one machine again.)

    CentOS 6 has reached EOL in November 2020., PHP 5.3 - in 2014. Definitely consider installing an up to date server and migrating the old one. You could even virtualize it on the new one to avoid duplicating hardware.

  • Thank you guys for all your valuable comments. Yes it is agreed that the current system (CentOS 6) is a bit old and it is desirable to consider using a new system on a second server. I will talk with our client to see whether they are willing to do it. Thanks a lot.
