PHP4 and PHP5 Together on one server

**Ehaanaes** · March 17th, 2005, 5:12 PM

Heya all.

Just installed php5 in addition to php4.
Except from some small annoying issues while installing it it went smooth.

Anyone else did this or going to? ( i use .php5 as extension for php5)

I also have both php4 an php5 running on my server. I did this (with the help of surpass support) by running 2 apache servers. One for php4 on port 80 and the other for php5 on port 81. I use a rewrite rule and the proxy module to forward php5 request from the first to the second server.

Have you done it the same way?

Does it take up much more CPU or memory? Just wondering as we might do this, but not at the expense of serer performance.
