I have few projects which are developed on php5.5.9. So I am trying to install php5.5.9 in ubuntu 17.10 but it is showing error.
I have used the below command:
sudo apt-get install php5.5
It's showing the following error:
E: Unable to locate package php5.5
E: Couldn't find any package by
glob 'php5.5' E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'php5.5'
Could you please help me.
You receive the error because php5 is outdated.
Execute : sudo apt-get install php7.0-imap
on the other way: use version:
try sudo apt-get install php5.5-rpm or
try sudo apt-get install php5.5-rpm
PHP 5.5 is no longer supported - http://php.net/supported-versions.php
You can install 5.6 using ppa:ondrej/php: https://launchpad.net/~ondrej/+archive/ubuntu/php
Or you can compile from source, it's not so complicated: https://secure.php.net/get/php-5.5.9.tar.gz/from/a/mirror
