Running PHP4 side by side with PHP5?

Hi,

I have various posts that come close to this question but no one seems to answer it completely.

Can you have PHP5 and PHP4 running in Plesk (8.1) both installed properly and not PHP5 running as cgi program?

If so do you have the ability to select which one in Plesk?

Third (and final question) if you can do this, how do I go about installing PHP5 on my server (just after which rpms to install, if it is possible)?

Many thanks,

John

This is not a particular thread Ive persued myself. I favor just converting the applications to support the newer versions of php rather than trying to run both in the same instance of apache. That being said it should be possible to run them both at the same time with a handler on a different extention name. IE, one handler on .php4 and another on .php. My recommendation here is to read up on the apache docs, and the way handlers work.
