PHP 5.6 was end of life almost 4 years ago.

You can install it using the method above but it would be a much better idea to migrate whatever apps that you are using that need it to something more modern that will run on a supported and secure version of PHP.

Thanks you for help

I’ve compiled php5.6 in LiteSpeed and now php5.6 is installed on my AlmaLinux 8:

# /usr/local/lsws/lsphp56/bin/php -v
PHP 5.6.40 (cli) (built: May 29 2023 08:07:30) 
Copyright (c) 1997-2016 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.6.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2016 Zend Technologies

But I can’t find php 5.6 in CyberPanel (version 2.3) itself. Does anybody know how to make CyberPanel find this php version?
