Old PHP on new Debian

03-04-2009, 02:18 PM

Hi all,

I'd like to install newest version of Debian available, but with one
of older releases of PHP (5.1.6). Is it possible? How can I accomplish
this?

Thanks, Pet

Install the version of Debian you'd like (Lenny I assume, unless you're
looking for unstable or volatile versions) then

aptitude remove php5

then install the version of php you want.

I believe this version would have been released under Sarge.
Searching packages.debian.org doesn't help as it doesn't search back
further than 'oldstable' or Etch.

I see my mirror no longer provides Sarge package lists.

Maybe the OP should download this older version from the PHP site and
unpack to /usr/local.

I've installed Lenny without PHP and then compiled the needed version
from sources.

For a while, PHP 5.1.6 hasn't been available in a released Debian
distribution.

Could you post your /etc/apt/sources.list file?

This looks fine. How did you figure out that you had installed PHP
5.1.6?

Ah, stupid me.

Pet, PHP 5.1.6 is out of security support by upstream. You might run
into significant issues by using it.
