| Yes, you can have two php versions installed on a linux machine. While configuring give different name for binaries(Eg:php5.1 and php5.3). The path can be same.

| I am already running the php 5.3 version...there is no cpanel only webmin and virtualmin. Is there any way to do it with yum or rpm? can you please provide me a little more information?

| Using rpm installation, this cannot be done. You will have to manually configure the different versions of php on the server and while configuring can give the path.

| I doubt if it's possible. Yes, you can install PHP 4.x and PHP 5.x on the same machine but again you will have to install them manually and not using rpm method.

| You can try to install PHP 5.1 manually from sources.
I believe it would work.

| Yes it would work on source and rpm installation.
Source installation would give you more freedom.
