Hello,
I have already runing nginx + php5 php-fpm on my server , but I need php4 for some old old sites

how to setup php4 ? (can be done ??)

thank you in advance for help

I think you need to compile and install php4 with all needed libs in a
separate directory. Then you have to run a php4 with php-fpm on a
separate port.

You just need to be sure that both PHP installations do not overlap each
other. So if you have PHP5 installed on /usr, then you can install PHP4
on a different prefix (/usr/local, /opt, /srv/php4)

Then running something like this should work:

/usr/local/bin/php-fpm --fpm-config /usr/local/etc/php-fpm/php-fpm.conf

I assume you have PHP5 listening on port 9000, so you have to configure
PHP4 (the fpm) to listen on a different pot, i.e. 90001, and tell nginx
you want to use that port for your PHP4 websites:

server {
...

location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9001;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
}
}
