How to install multiple PHP versions on Centos 7 VPS?

Question

PHP

There is a clean server on Centos 7. You need to install php7 (for WordPress) and also php 5.4 (for a separate script outside of WordPress). Previously, on hosting in .htaccess it was possible to specify the php version for this directory, because there were several versions of php - everything was convenient. How to implement it on your VPS?

Install ISP manager and don't worry, everything is out of the box %)))
PS: I have a VPS on FirstVDS, it's free with any ISP tariff.

Answer 2

Build each version from source with --prefix
And get the necessary FPM from them. It will be difficult for the first time, but I think you will write a script and the second time you will not build all versions of php by hand :-)

Answer 3

there is a free version of the virtual web server - Webmin+Virtualmin webmin.com
Easy to install, easy to configure
For several versions of PHP install modules:
For example, to install php 7.3
yum install scl-utils
yum install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub /epel/epel-release...
yum install rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/remi-release-7.rpm
yum install php73
yum install php73-php-mysqlnd
yum install php73-php-curl
yum install php73-php-simplexml
yum install php73-php-devel php73-php-gd php73-php-json php73-php-mcrypt php73-php-mbstring php73-php-opcache php73-php-pear php73-php-pecl-apcu php73-php-pecl- geoip php73-php-pecl-imagick php73-php-pecl-json-post php73-php-pecl-memcache php73-php-pecl-xmldiff php73-php-pecl-zip php73-php-pspell php73-php-soap php73- php-tidy php73-php-xml php73-php-xmlrpc
If you need additional puffs, replace "php73" with any other, and repeat the operation
In the server settings you can switch puff versions both for the main "public_html" folder and for individual internal directories
