installing php 5.0.4

[triggemojan]

I've got debian (sarge) installed fine, no problems, and i added the two following repositories to add the proper PHP version (i need php 5.0.4, not php 5.1.2, that i installed perfectly).

deb http://packages.dotdeb.org oldstable all
deb-src http://packages.dotdeb.org oldstable all

I changed the default, stable, to oldstable so i could access the older version of PHP5, right? So, next I do a search using 'apt-cache search php5', I assume what i did worked because a list came up, but excluded versions, so i'm not 100%.

anyway, i was expecting to also see libapache-mod-php5 package, but none existed. so, how do i proceed installing php 5.0.4 with dotdeb? or does someone else have a better suggestion?

Just a quick question, did you do an

apt-get update

after you added your new sources?

-crypto

of course

well, I have apache 1.3 installed now, but when i try to install php5, when i did an 'apt-get show php5', it does point to the right version, in the woody path though (that a problem?) but it's looking for the following package when trying to install:

libmm11

unfortunetly, i've looked around and haven't anything, beside what this package is.

Hmm, have you tried removing the original version of PHP5 first and then trying to add the older version. I wonder if it is not wanting to downgrade?

i'm using VMWare, so i just created another machine for this install, i started out fresh

success! I had to modify the default debian repository to oldstable as well...
