I am beginning to host my own website, but I also develop other websites. I have no budget for new equipment so I need to do both production and development hosting on one system. I run Linux with apache, php + mysql. I need a way to essentially hosting two versions of PHP, 4 + 5, reading two different php.ini files. I was thinking of running two apache daemons reading two different configuration files using different PHP modules, which are reading different php.ini files, and listening on different ports. Does anyone have a better method for doing this?
Thanks in advance, Watty
