I wanted to install php5.3 on ubuntu 14.04(its not natively available as ubuntu pkg), so I installed each apache2, mysql5.6 and php5.3 separately.

PHP5.3 is utmost important for my project.

Now i wanted to test if each of them was working fine together.

I created a info.php file in /var/www/html/ containing code as <?php phpinfo(); ?> but the output showed an output like an HTML rendered page.

enter image description here

Can anyone please tell me how to test/check if all three of them are working together fine?

I would be very thankful, if anyone can please give a link or detailed-description where I can read instructions on how to integrate all three of them together while not uninstalling any of them.

  • i had read a question on http://askubuntu.com/questions/462673/installing-php-5-3-in-ubuntu-14-04 and saw that no one received the answer for that, I googled and got this link https://stavrovski.net/blog/build-and-install-php-5329-from-source-on-an-ubuntu-1404-lts-server where it is nicely instructed how to install php5.3. (I couldn't answer on askubuntu due to less reputation points there). Kindly some add this link there for the answer. It is working nicely for me, except for the make test part.

Thanks. It worked. Though mysql info is not shown in phpinfo(). looking through other stackoverflow answers for that now.
Have a look at digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/…
I just noticed... it changed my php5.3.29 to php5.5.9 version. :(

sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5

This doesn't work because is obsolete:

sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5

Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done Package libapache2-mod-php5 is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source

E: Package 'libapache2-mod-php5' has no installation candidate
