Apache2 with PHP5 and PHP4 simultaneously

[jacortijo]

Good morning,
it is being a nightmare to achieve to have running apache2 with PHP4 and PHP5 support.
I need to have several different php application and mainly all of them use PHP5 but I have an specific one in PHP4. I was googling a lot and found some solutions, the best I found is
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/php/php4- ... ration.xml
but it is for Gentoo and unfortunally in my office we work with windows 2003.
I am lazy so I used XAMP and I got directly apache2 with PHP5 and PHP4. it provides to swith from one version to the other but I need both at the same time.
I tried using the following directives in the vhost file but apache seems to follow them at all.
this is my vhosts
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot E:/xampp/htdocs/
ServerName localhost
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot E:/xampp/htdocs/Degas
ServerName drivers
ScriptAlias /php/ "E:/xampp/php/php4/"
Action application/x-httpd-php4 "/php/php.exe"
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php4 .php

<Directory "E:/xampp/php/php4/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride FileInfo
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

the enviroment is set up in PHP5. I create a info.php in both places and in both places shows up PHP 5.2.6

Anything I should do... somebody did it before?
is it impossible to achieve?

Many thanks in advance
Jose

If you want to run PHP4 and PHP5 parallel, you would need to include both Modules into the webserver. As far as i know this is not possible. In this case you would have to run PHP in CGI-Mode, then you can select the PHP-Version for every File / vHost.
