[solved] Use different PHP versions on same server

Hello,

I have compiled both PHP 5.2 and 5.3 binaries using the LSWS console and followed the instructions here:
http://www.litespeedtech.com/suppor...peed_wiki:multiple_phps_in_control_panel_lsws

I have created the external applications and configured the script handlers. However, adding the AddHandler/AddType directives to .htaccess have no effect. The default handler is set up with PHP 5.3 and I want to force 5.2 through .htaccess.

I have tried the following variations:

Code:
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php52 php
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php52 .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php52 php
AddType application/x-httpd-php52 .php
A script handler with "php52" suffix exists, which uses the external app. which points to the PHP 5.2 binary. I tripple checked everything and it should be correct.

When I load the PHP script it uses PHP 5.3 no matter what. I monitored the sockets, and I do see that the PHP 5.2 socket (uds://tmp/lshttpd/lsphp52.sock) is created as well.

The strange thing, though, is that I have the exact same setup on another server and it works fine.

Any thoughts?

Actually, after some more testing it does work. I was testing with a php file in /usr/local/apache/htdocs (this is a cPanel server).

For some reason, LiteSpeed would not pick up the .htaccess changes from this location, but when ran from a user directory (/home/<user>/public_html) it seems to work fine.

Thanks anyway.
