I'm a new Linux user, and I'm using a web server with a software that requires PHP 5.6, creating an incompatibility issue that I have been trying to solve for at least two days now. I read up a bunch of threads here on it, but none of them really solved the issue. The Linux version I'm at is 18.04.
So, what I tried so far:
- To uninstall PHP 7.2 using
sudo apt-get purge php7.0-common - To disable the proxy using
sudo a2dismod proxy_fcgi proxy(it returns that the proxy is already disabled) - To install PHP 5.6 using
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/phporsudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/apache2, it installs it - After using
sudo apt-get update, and using thissudo apt-get install php7.0 php5.6 php5.6-mysql php-gettext php5.6-mbstring php-xdebug libapache2-mod-php5.6 libapache2-mod-php7.0, I get the error:- I used this thread suggested on the comments, and the php5-compat helped, now at least when I try to unmount/mount (or whatever it's called) I don't get a "php5.6 module doesn't exist" anymore, and now if I do
sudo apt-cache search php5.6 --names-onlyI get the list of packages for the first time.

Since I got that part done now, I'll consider it as done and see with the Oxwall people about their requirements. Thanks a bunch.
apt-cache search php5.6as it does not return anything. It means there is no such package. – neferpitou May 29 '18 at 20:43sudo apt-get update? Thanks. – David Foerster May 30 '18 at 14:49
