[FX.php List] Needing to roll back to earlier version of 5.2

[Head Honcho]

HI Bob,

You don't need to "uninstall" 5.3, you just need to tell apache where the new install of 5.2 is (when you find an installer).  [BTW. no idea if this works, but it seems a logical place to start: <http://www.imthi.com/blog/linux/compile-and-install-php-528-on-mac-os-x-1056-leopard.php>)

I recently _upgraded_ one of my installs to the latest php and then went to the httpd.conf file and changed the location of the module to the new one.

in my case the new version of php "lives" in usr/local/php5/libphp5.so

so the line I changed ended up being LoadModule php5_module ../../usr/local/php5/libphp5.so

Then restart apache (gracefully).

Hope this helps.

Regards

Michael Ward
