Here is a temporary solution that works for me... till I manage to switch to apache2:
apt-get install php5-common This will also install apache2.. but will not start if apache1 is running and use port 80 wget http://security.debian.org/debian-security/pool/updates/main/p/php5/libapache-mod-php5_5.2.0-10+lenny1_i386.deb dpkg -i --force-depends libapache-mod-php5_5.2.0-10+lenny1_i386.deb In /etc/apache/modules.conf make sure there is a line: LoadModule php5_module /usr/lib/apache/1.3/libphp5.so apachectl restart After that apt-get will complain all the time for unmet dependencies! One solution is to manualy install all files from the package, the other is to transit to apache2 and after you are done to completly remove apache1:) -- Dragomir Dragnev
