Installed Fedora 3 and Apache 2.0.53. Then installed php-4.3.11 to run with MySQL 4.0.24 and php-5.0.4 to run with MySQL 4.1.11. Was able to get a test pgm running using the php4 / MySQL 4.0 combination. Similarly I got a test pgm running using php5 / MySQL 4.1 combination. The only adjustment made was to the httpd.conf file where I'd change the LoadModule directive to refer to the particular php module required. Both MySQL's used the same /etc/my.cnf: [mysqld-4.0] datadir = /usr/local/mysql-4.0/data basedir = /usr/local/mysql-4.0 port = 3306 socket = /tmp/mysql40 [mysqld-4.1] datadir = /usr/local/mysql-4.1/data basedir = /usr/local/mysql-4.1 innodb_data_home_dir = /usr/local/mysql-4.1/data port = 3307 socket = /tmp/mysql41 However, this does not solve my requirements. I need to run the php4 & php5 applications concurrently. So I tried running the installed Apache as a proxy listening on ports 80 and 8080. I tried using <VirtualHost> to redirect the 8080 requests to a second apache installation using a different document root. This was not successful. httpd.conf had these adjustments: Listen 80 Listen 8080 DocumentRoot /home/webroot <Directory /home/webroot></Directory> LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so <VirtualHost *:8080> DocumentRoot /home/webroot/php4 <Directory /home/webroot/php4></Directory> ProxyPass /php4/ /http://localhost:8080/ </VirtualHost> I can see the both document roots when the original apache installation is started however I can't start the 2nd apache as it finds fault with the httpd.conf from the original apache installation and therefore ignores the httpd.conf from the 2nd installation. Any ideas? Thanx Verna --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
