Install PHP 5 on Debian/Ubuntu

These are a set of bash scripts for building and running PHP 5 (CLI and FPM) on Debian based Linux distributions:

• build.sh installs the necessary build dependencies and the latest development version of PHP with CLI and FPM server APIs (SAPI) from the latest PHP 5 branch of https://github.com/php/php-src

• install.sh sets up PHP-FPM by moving configuration files into their correct locations in /usr/local/php5 and enables the php5-fpm service and adds it to the startup sequence.

Please note that these are very simple scripts that don't implement error checking or process validation.

Usage

cd /tmp
git clone https://github.com/hranicka/php-5-debian.git
cd php-5-debian
./build.sh

Install

sudo ./install.sh

Update only

sudo ./update.sh

About installation

The PHP-FPM can be operated using the php5-fpm init script:

Usage: /etc/init.d/php5-fpm {start|stop|status|restart|reload|force-reload}

While the FPM socket is available at:

127.0.0.1:9006

Executables (also CLI) are located at:

/usr/local/php5/bin/php
/usr/bin/php5

Configuration files

All PHP configuration files are stored under /usr/local/php5:

/usr/local/php5/lib/php.ini
/usr/local/php5/etc/php-fpm.conf
/usr/local/php5/etc/php-fpm.d/www.conf
/usr/local/php5/etc/conf.d/modules.ini

while the Debian init script is added to:

/etc/init.d/php5-fpm
