To use different PHP versions for specific directories, you'll need to configure it through your web server's configuration files. Here's a general outline of the steps you would follow:
-
Install and Enable mod_lsapi:
- Make sure that
mod_lsapi
is installed and enabled on your web server. Refer to LiteSpeed's documentation for specific installation instructions.
- Make sure that
-
Configure PHP Versions per Directory:
-
Create a
.htaccess
file in the directory where you want to use a different PHP version. -
Inside the
.htaccess
file, add the following line to specify the desired PHP version:bash
-
-
-
LSAPI_Apache2_HANDLER application/x-httpd-lsphp<version>
Replace
<version>
with the desired PHP version (e.g., 5.6, 7.2, etc.). -
Save the
.htaccess
file.
-
-
Restart the Web Server:
- After making changes, restart the webserver to apply the configuration.
-
Verify PHP Version:
-
Create a PHP file (e.g.,
info.php
) in the directory where you added the.htaccess
file. Add the following content to it:php
-
-
-
phpinfo();
-
Access this PHP file through a web browser to check the PHP version being used.
-
-
Repeat for Other Directories:
- If you need to use different PHP versions in other directories, repeat steps 2-4 for each directory.
Remember, this approach assumes that mod_lsapi
is properly installed and configured on your web server. Additionally, always make sure to thoroughly test any changes in a controlled environment before applying them in a production setting.
If you're using a control panel like cPanel or Plesk, they might have their own interfaces for managing PHP versions on a per-directory basis. Refer to the documentation of your specific control panel for instructions on how to achieve this.
