[solved] Dual PHP 5.2/5.3 on cPanel/WHM

[webhosting]

Can someone share clear step by step instructions for setting up php 5.2/5.3 in dual mode so we can select them either/or on a cpanel/whm vps server.

Whenever I compile php from Litespeed 5.2.x, and then try to compile 5.3.x with different install path, it overwrites 5.2.x as default...

Thank you.

here is the output.

per the output, lsphp5 is just a symbol link, the lsphp you built lsphp-5.3.8,lsphp-5.2.17 are all there.

Whenever I compile php from Litespeed 5.2.x, and then try to compile 5.3.x with different install path, it overwrites 5.2.x as default...

when you want 5.2.17 as default lsphp5, after build 5.3.x, run

#cd /usr/local/lsws/fcgi-bin
#ln -sf lsphp-5.2.17 lsphp5

then restart lsws

how can they be used in live environment? how would the end user select if they want to use 5.3.x or 5.2.x...
