    <p>I'm trying to figure something out:</p> <p>I am using Ubuntu server 11.10 virtualized on Win7 (I don't think that matters but more info is better than less) to work on a Drupal 6 website I inherited and need to make significant changes to.</p> <p>I want to set up a development copy of this Drupal website on my Ubuntu server so I can work without worrying about torching the production website.</p> <p>I successfully got the production files downloaded and onto my machine, I got the production MySQL database exported and imported into the dev MySQL server, and I set up a symbolic link from the directory /home/myname/thewebsite.com to /var/www/thewebsite.com so I can easily access it.</p> <p>When I got the website they didn't know the admin password so I dug around online and reset it in the dev db using phpmyadmin and finally log in.</p> <p>When logging in and poking around the site there are lots of errors, which when googled lead me to believe that PHP 5.3 is causing them and that there are some modules in use that only work with PHP 5.2</p> <p>After looking around a lot online and on stackoverflow there seems to be no easy way to install PHP 5.2 on Ubuntu Server 11.10. With no packages for 5.2 available through apt-get or aptitude what should/can I do?</p> <p>1) Install 5.2 from source - how do I get it to interface with MySQL and Apache2? Also, I've never installed anything significant from source. Is there a walkthrough?</p> <p>2) Replace the repositories with old ones? Will this work on 11.10? The newest instructions I found were for 10.04</p> <p>3) Use already built PHP 5.2 packages for Ubuntu? Couldn't find these</p> <p>4) Pay someone who knows more to do it for me? (Just kidding, this isn't really an option...)</p> <p>Cheers and thanks for your help!</p>
