[Help] Installing Multiple PHP versions on ubuntu

suyadi92

Hi guys!

Need some to install php 5.4 to 8.1, compatible mysql and apache version on my lubuntu laptop to start php development, Is it achievable? How?

Things i've tried so far:
- installed php 5.6 - 8.0 via ondrej/php PPA but apache can't be started due to multiple php versions (conflicting)
- Searching for alternatives, found https://launchpad.net/~sergey-dryabzhinsky but don't know how to install
- Thinking to install TinyCP locally but really doubtful if it's gonna work.

I use laragon on windows previously.

Any help will be appreciated guys. Thank you!

We use ondrej/php as well and it's working fine with php-fpm

You need to enable conf for your Apache2 like

a2enconf php8.0-fpm

For local development, docker is a choice

Sadly it's an old laptop with 3gig of ram on it, docker recomended requirements is 2gig

Docker can be installed on some VPS with less than 1GB ram

Is it safe to be installed locally?

Yes, according to their site, 512mb is the minimum
but i still need to run some additional procesess like php, apache2, mysql, sublime text, and chrome

Will it runs?
I know the bottleneck is the laptop spec here, but,..

you need disable other php version first by using command a2dismod php-<version> then enable what you need by using a2enmod.

After that restart you apache
