What's the recommended way to get PHP 5.3?
What's the recommended way to get PHP 5.3?
I need a server for a testing/migration project running PHP 5.3. Yes I know its old and outdated and so on and so forth yet I still need this.
What would be the recommended way?
- should I go with debian squeeze? Its old and outdated (I think this was the last Debian release which had PHP 5.3)
- should I go with debian Jessie and use snapshots.debian.org? Its going to be horrible pinning all needed packages
I basically need to simulate an old environment with a surprisingly NEW MYSQL-SERVER of 5.6 PHP 5.3.X and Apache2.X - any suggestions on the most elegant way to achieve this? This is for testing and for the migration phase of a website to newer versions.
Can VESTA help me do this somehow? I can't seem to find VESTA minimal requirements.

Vesta will install software from your OS repo, if there is outdated soft - you get thisOvidiu wrote:I need a server for a testing/migration project running PHP 5.3. Yes I know its old and outdated and so on and so forth yet I still need this.
or you can use 3rd party script and compile any php version ->

Re: What's the recommended way to get PHP 5.3?
doesn't look like it. Before installing VESTA I did a yum list php and php-5.3.29 was the version listed to be installed. After installing VESTA its now php-5.6.30 :-( any ideas if vesta added any repos to change this? I did a yum update before installing VESTA and it was still pointing to 5.3.29skurudo wrote: Vesta will install software from your OS repo, if there is outdated soft - you get this
