installing php4 and php5 on one machine

[Zbigniew Szalbot]

Hi there,

I am using FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE-p1. The machine has PHP 5.2.6 with 
Suhosin-Patch 0.9.6.2 (cli). We're going to host one of our sites which 
currently is hosted by our ISP. This site requires php4 to work before 
it gets rewritten or dumped. Anyway, my current BSD machine is a 
dedicated one so I can do with it what I like but I am not really sure 
how to go about installing two versions of php. php5 has been installed 
from ports and works well.

How would you advise me to go about installing php4? I do not think I 
will be able to do it from ports (it will require an ancient version of 
php 4.10). Also I do not want to mix dependencies and such. Another 
issue is how to host the site. Use a different port for it (*:8080)? Use 
jails (never been in jail so no experience with it so far ;)?

I do have several IPs to play with so I can use them if that helps.

I'd appreciate your opinion about it. Many thanks to you all in advance!
