if anyone knows of some details info on how to
keep multiple installs of
php around (including apache modules) and being able to switch between them
with minimal fuss then
I be very happy to learn!
the easiest option is to use different prefix-paths for php
default installation: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local
some custom installation: ./configure --prefix=/opt/php53-test
I do this already, only the apache module, if compiled, is always installed
where
apxs2 says it should be put ... ergo it overwrites the version that I
consider/use
as default/production.
I use symlinks for that. I have a symlink /usr/local/php-active which
points to e.g /usr/local/php-5.2.6 (the stable version) (php is compiled
with --prefix=/usr/local/php-5.2.6) /usr/local/bin/php is a symlink which
points to /usr/local/php-active/bin/php. So I am sure if I call php
from the commandline that the right php version gets called.
For the apache module my makefile with which I compile php renames the
.so file to another name and I have another symlink libphpactive.so
which points to that lib.
is it safe to use a different make file? are there gotchas? care to share
the make file (or the changes you make/made)?
thanks anyway for your explaination .. It makes it very clear how I'll
go about it from now on :-)
So if I want to upgrade I compile a new php
version, test it from the command line and fpr apache I use a test
process which has the same docroot as the production server but uses the
newly build php lib. If all goes well I change two symlinks, restart
Apache and am finished. If I saw later problems I could easily jump
back to an earlier version by changing these two symlinks.
(I compile php as DSO; if you compile PHP as statically bound Apache
module it's the same. Just put every Apache version in an own directory
and have a symlink which points to the version you want for production.)
