Comments on: Migrating from PHP4 to PHP5: A strategy for hosts http://www.jasny.net/articles/migrating-from-php4-to-php5-a-strategy-for-isps/ Helping you out with PHP & MySQL Wed, 25 Jan 2012 21:57:47 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Arnold Daniels http://www.jasny.net/articles/migrating-from-php4-to-php5-a-strategy-for-isps/comment-page-1/#comment-3090 Arnold Daniels Wed, 05 Sep 2007 19:31:45 +0000 http://blog.adaniels.nl/?p=44#comment-3090 I architect/manage the system of a hosting company, <a href="http://www.helderhosting.nl" rel="nofollow">Helder Hosting</a>, myself. We also have PHP4 and PHP5 available. We use the <a href="?p=13" rel="nofollow">multiple Apache instances</a> method, so you can switch between versions by changing the IP in the DNS. Personally I prefer that method, because it gives the host more control. There is no need to touch the webdir of the customer. When you only run PHP4 though you probably want to switch all websites except those who would experience problems. This method allows you to test just that.

I managed to do the same on my (Windoze) development machine and wrote a short how-to at http://forums.dathorn.com/showthread.php?t=2884 ; should do the trick on any *nix with Apache and mod_php4 already installed.
