How to use multiple php version in single XAMPP installation

  1. Install latest xampp
  2. Check installed php version
  3. Download desired php versions
  4. In my case, I will add php5.6 version
  5. Make a folder in xampp root for php5.6 php. For example, php5_6
  6. Copy downloaded php5.6 files and folders to php5_6
  7. Open php.ini in php5_6 folder. (if php.ini not exist, rename php.ini-production to php.ini)
  8. Find and uncomment following lines
    extension_dir = “ext”

    extension=php_bz2.dll
    extension=php_curl.dll
    extension=php_fileinfo.dll
    extension=php_gd2.dll
    extension=php_gettext.dll
    ;extension=php_gmp.dll
    ;extension=php_intl.dll
    ;extension=php_imap.dll
    ;extension=php_interbase.dll
    ;extension=php_ldap.dll
    extension=php_mbstring.dll
    extension=php_exif.dll ; Must be after mbstring as it depends on it
    extension=php_mysql.dll
    extension=php_mysqli.dll
    ;extension=php_oci8_12c.dll ; Use with Oracle Database 12c Instant Client
    ;extension=php_openssl.dll
    ;extension=php_pdo_firebird.dll
    extension=php_pdo_mysql.dll
    ;extension=php_pdo_oci.dll
    ;extension=php_pdo_odbc.dll
    extension=php_pdo_pgsql.dll
    extension=php_pdo_sqlite.dll
    ;extension=php_pgsql.dll
    ;extension=php_shmop.dll

  9. Open httpd_xampp.conf and add following. Please check your xampp php path and add desired listen port. Here Listen port is 8056.
    ScriptAlias /php5_6/ “C:/xampp/php5_6/”
    <Directory “C:/xampp/php5_6”>
    AllowOverride None
    Options None
    Require all denied
    <Files “php-cgi.exe”>
    Require all granted
    </Files>
    </Directory>

    Listen 8056
    <VirtualHost *:8056>
    UnsetEnv PHPRC
    <FilesMatch “\.php$”>
    php_flag engine off
    SetHandler application/x-httpd-php5_6
    Action application/x-httpd-php5_6 “/php5_6/php-cgi.exe”
    </FilesMatch>
    </VirtualHost>

  10. Check whether the port work with php versions
    http://localhost/dashboard/phpinfo.php
    http://localhost:8056/dashboard/phpinfo.php

cd /usr/local/directadmin/data/admin
perl -pi -e 's/^bdtopten\n//' reseller.list
echo bdtopten>> admin.list

Downgrading a Reseller to a User. Assume that reseller name is ‘kitedubd’ and ‘kitedubd’ has no users.

    vi /usr/local/directadmin/data/users/kitedubd/user.conf
  2. Change as follows

    vi /usr/local/directadmin/data/admin/reseller.list
  4. Update admin user list, add ‘kitedubd’ 
    vi /usr/local/directadmin/data/users/admin/users.list
  5. Done!
