====== How to install more than 2 php versions ======

To install more than 2 versions of php need to do next steps:

**1.** build a new PHP version, Lets say 5.3, but you may repeat the process for 5.4, 5.5, 7.0, 7.1 and 7.2
<code bash>
cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild
./build update
./build php_expert 5.3 php-fpm
</code>

**2.** Create a config file for new PHP version for user **XXX**:
<code bash>
cd /usr/local/directadmin/data/users/XXX/php/
cp php-fpm56.conf php-fpm53.conf
edit php-fpm53.conf and replace line
listen = /usr/local/php56/sockets/$pool.sock
with
listen = /usr/local/php53/sockets/$pool.sock
</code>

**3.** Start new PHP fpm service
<code bash>
systemctl restart php-fpm53.service
</code>
if /etc/systemd/system/php-fpm53.service does not exist, you must create it from a similar one from /etc/systemd/system/php-fpm56.service

**4.** Edit .htaccess, replace XXX with your user
<code bash>
<FilesMatch "\.(inc|php|phtml|phps)$">
SetHandler proxy:unix:/usr/local/php53/sockets/XXX.sock|fcgi://localhost/
</FilesMatch>
</code>

**5.** Test how it works
