By default, the MyVesta Control Panel installs only one version of PHP. The latest build of MyVestaCP comes with PHP 7.3. But if you have a requirement to install multiple PHP versions on the server, you need to do it manually. Here are steps that you can follow to install multiple PHP versions.
- Find the link to the file multi-php-install.sh on the Github page of MyVestaCP . If they have changed the name of the file, select the new file. Download the file on your server.
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/myvesta/vesta/master/src/deb/for-download/tools/multi-php-install.sh- Open the bash file multi-php-install.sh in an editor. E.g.
vi multi-php-install.sh- Select PHP versions that you want to install on the server by entering 1 for those versions. E.g. Here I have selected PHP 5.6 and 7.2.
