multiPHP version w Vhost - directive PHPINIDir not working

[smalldragoon]

Hi,
I configured my apache to have php 56.and 7.2 running together.
I created a VHost where I want to have 7.2 running -> fine
Now, I would like to use a specific php.ini . I use the option
but it is not working
what am I missing ?
here is the Vhost config

Code: Select all

DocumentRoot /var/www/html2
<Directory "/var/www/html2">
allow from all
Options None
Require all granted
</Directory>
        <FilesMatch \.php$>
        # Apache 2.4.10+ can proxy to unix socket
        SetHandler "proxy:unix:/var/run/php/php7.2-fpm.sock|fcgi://localhost/"
       </FilesMatch>

ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error80.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access80.log combined
PHPINIDir /var/www/html2
php_value session.save_path /tmp
Thanks !

You cannot use PHPINIDir in a VirtualHost Context, the following link tells you why: https://serverfault.com/questions/46170 ... rtualhosts

Hi Nobbie,
thanks for your Answer
in fact, I already tried that option as I just wanted to change 1 value of the php.ini
But whatever the value I'm putting, there is no changes ( checking with phpinfo )

here is my full vhost config

Code: Select all

DocumentRoot /var/www/html2
<Directory "/var/www/html2">
allow from all
Options None
Require all granted
</Directory>
 <FilesMatch \.php$>
        # Apache 2.4.10+ can proxy to unix socket
        SetHandler "proxy:unix:/var/run/php/php7.2-fpm.sock|fcgi://localhost/"
    </FilesMatch>
   
   
    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error80.log
   CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access80.log combined

php_value session.save_path "/tmp"



I tried as well othervalues in case of , like

php_value post_max_size "60M"
php_value upload_max_filesize "60M"

but no changes... ( I restart apache after each change of course )
any suggestion ?
Thanks

I dont have any experience about running PHP-FPM and i dont have any experience about running PHP-FPM as unix proxy vs. a moduled PHP. That looks very strange for me, do you really know what you are doing there?

I would simply configure both PHP versions as PHP CGI (i already did that before) and it runs smoothly without any hassle. What is the goal of your extremely "sophisticated" configuration? Keep it simple instead.

In fact, I just need to have 2 differents versions of PHP ( 5.6 and 7.2 ) running on the same server.
I use this method as I foudn a detailed procedure/tutorial but happy to switch to anything else as long as it works
I have no experience running PHP-FPM , I just followed steps ...
my need is very basic
everything starting from /var/www/html must use 5.6
everything starting from /var/www/html2 must use 7.2

Which Linux are you running and where (and how!) did you install both PHP5 and PHP7?

Here i found a forum where someone shows how to switch between PHP5 and PHP7 on the fly, but not to run them at the same time: https://askubuntu.com/questions/761713/ ... -04/762161

You could also run VirtualBox and install two machines (both Linux or Windows, does not matter) and install Apache with PHP5 into one machine, Apache with PHP7 into the other machine. From my point of view this is the easiest way and you have the big advantage that the virtual machines are running in their own environment and do not collide in any way.

I'm using ubuntu.
Unfortunately, I must run the 2 version on the same host. I can not use virtualmachine or other trics like that

[Nobbie]

How did you install PHP5 and PHP7 and where did you install them?

[smalldragoon]

I used standard APT tool
and they are both installed into 2 different directories

/etc/php/5.6
/etc/php/7.2

[Nobbie]

Ok. Then create two VirtualHosts, one for each PHP version. Apply PHP5 CGI for one, PHP7 CGI for the other VirtualHost. There is plenty of documentation how to establish PHP CGI Mode.

[smalldragoon]

ok, thanks will search for tutorials and let you know

Thanks a lot _

Here is a working example for PHP7 CGI in a VirtualHost:

Code: Select all

<VirtualHost *:80>
   ServerAdmin xxxxxxxx
   DocumentRoot "/opt/lampp/htdocs"
   ServerName php7.localhost
   ErrorLog "logs/php7_error_log"
   CustomLog "logs/php7_access_log" common

   ScriptAlias /local-bin /usr/bin
   AddHandler application/x-httpd-php php
   Action application/x-httpd-php /local-bin/php-cgi
<Directory "/usr/bin">
    Require all granted
</Directory>
<Directory "/opt/lampp/htdocs">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks ExecCGI Includes
    AllowOverride All
    Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

You can take this as basic configuration, add another VirtualHost for PHP5 (apply another ServerName, for example php5.localhost) and change the pathnames to your needs (i used the pathes of my installation). You may use the same DocumentRoot for both VirtualHosts, but you also can use different DocumentRoots. Add an entry for php7.localhost and php5.localhost into your hosts file (/etc/hosts) and assign 127.0.0.1 to both. Instead of /usr/bin/php-cgi you probably have to use /etc/php/5.6/php-cgi or maybe /usr/bin/php5.6-cgi or so (i dont know, i am running Linux Mint and there is no PHP 5.6 in the repository). Dont overlook that "Require all granted" for the path of the php-cgi executable, otherwise you will end up in an 403 error. You also need "Require all granted" for the DocumentRoot (for both).

After all, when everything is working, you have to enter http://php5.localhost/myfile.php for PHP 5.6 and http://php7.localhost/myfile.php for PHP 7.2. Thats very handy!

with all the changes I made, my config was screwed. so I restarted a full install till the point I was adding 2 different PHP versions.
So my virtual host are just based on port , so based on your exemple, I created a new Vhost listening on port 80 ( I changed the other one to 81 )
my "default" version of php is the opposite, but it is just a switch at the end ( main is 5.6 , new Vhost is 7.2 )
Here the vhost config, where apache do not care at all about the changes ( I still have a 5.6 executing a php_info )
Maybe I should enable something ?

Code: Select all

   DocumentRoot "/var/www/html2"
   ScriptAlias /local-bin /usr/bin
   AddHandler application/x-httpd-php php .php
   Action application/x-httpd-php /usr/bin/php-cgi7.2

<Directory "/usr/bin">
    Require all granted
</Directory>

ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error80.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access80.log combined

[Nobbie]

If you need help, you should apply all informations including full configuration, what you enter into the browser etc.

Actually its not a good idea to use a different port (probably going wrong), why did you do so?

The Action is wrong (but thats not the reason of your problem, but it would go wrong if the VirtualHost would be used), instead of /usr/bin you should apply /local-bin
