Ubuntu – How to rollback to PHP 5.2

compatibilitypackage-managementPHP

I have just installed a 10.04 LTS on my development server but the system that I need to run on it (Magento ecommerce) is not compatible with PHP 5.3 which ships with the newest version of Ubuntu. Is there a safe and upgrade-proof way of getting PHP 5.2 installed or will it be easier to use an older version of Ubuntu?

Best Answer

You can use my ppa, that I have created for this purpose. Please take notice of the pinning that is necessary. Also, aptitude will not recognize the pinning. You must use the aptitude specific method if you want to use it.

Note - this is for 10.04 (lucid) only
