It so happens that in a fresh Debian distribution you may need an old version of php, which is not part of a stable distribution branch. For example, php 5.3 for running a site on a server with Debian Jessie.
To fully resolve dependencies, in addition to php, install apache packages that are relevant to the previous stable distribution of Debian.
And the most important aspect: always make backups of all configuration files!
You may need to remove the already installed php packages from a stable branch, if you installed them earlier. This can be done with the command:
# aptitude purge `dpkg -l | grep php | grep -w 5 | awk '{print $ 2}' | xargs` And we execute the same command for apache, respectively, replacing php with apache2.
Adding repositories
Packages for Debian Squeeze are currently available only in the archive repository . The list will look like this:
deb http://archive.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main deb-src http://archive.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main
Add it with one command:
# echo -e "deb http://archive.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main \ ndeb-src http://archive.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main"> /etc/apt/sources.list.d /php-squeeze.list
And update the package cache.
# aptitude update
Package Prioritization
Next, create the file /etc/apt/preferences.d/php-apache-squeeze, where we write the following:
Package: * php5 * Pin: release a = squeeze Pin: version 5.3 * Pin-Priority: 1000 Package: * apache * Pin: release a = squeeze Pin: version 2.2 * Pin-Priority: 1000
Two parameters deserve the most attention.
Pin: release a = squeeze - the distribution branch name is in bold.
Pin: version - version of the packages.
Save the file, install the packages in the standard way:
# apt-get install apache2-mpm-prefork libapache2-mod-php5 php5-cli php5-mysql
With this method, you do not need to freeze the packages, because during the system update, they will not be affected. It should also be noted that some packages may be missing from the old branches (php5-fpm for version 5.3).
PS Also this method is quite suitable for Ubuntu, but with the revision of the used repositories.

Thank. It helped.
Good day!

I would be grateful for any help! It is impossible to run pehu in debian 8-ke
At the moment, I can recommend using php5-cgi instead of the libapache2-mod-php5 module.
First, put apache:
Thus, you can not even install the old apache from the squeeze repository.
Then put php:
Enable mod_actions:
Add the following lines to the config of the virtual host in the apache config:
Thanks for the answer!
I just need php to work as an apache module.
Solved the issue by putting Debian 7.
