Linux – How to emerge different versions , ebuilds of php

gentoolinuxPHP

I'm trying to compile a lower version of php (5.2) as gentoo is selecting 5.3 and i'm having some coding issues with the new version

nano /etc/portage/package.use

=dev-lang/php-5.2.14 ~amd64

still when I emerge emerge -av php

is stil selecting version 5.3 which is by default

how else can I force emerge to select the version I want

ls /usr/portage/dev-lang/php/
ChangeLog php-5.2.14.ebuild php-5.3.4.ebuild
Manifest php-5.2.16.ebuild php-5.3.5.ebuild
files/ php-5.2.17.ebuild
metadata.xml php-5.3.3-r1.ebuild

You should find the old ebuild package, it should be in portage directory.

Then, if I remember correctly, the comand to run was "ebuild old-package.ebuild" and it will compile it.

Linux Bash – How to Sort du -h Output by Size

As of GNU coreutils 7.5 released in August 2009, sort allows a -h parameter, which allows numeric suffixes of the kind produced by du -h:

du -hs * | sort -h

If you are using a sort that does not support -h, you can install GNU Coreutils. E.g. on an older Mac OS X:

brew install coreutils
du -hs * | gsort -h

From sort manual:

-h, --human-numeric-sort compare human readable numbers (e.g., 2K 1G)

Nginx – How to restart php-fpm

Note: prepend sudo if not root

Using SysV Init scripts directly:

/etc/init.d/php-fpm restart    # typical
/etc/init.d/php5-fpm restart   # debian-style
/etc/init.d/php7.0-fpm restart # debian-style PHP 7

Using service wrapper script

service php-fpm restart    # typical
service php5-fpm restart   # debian-style
service php7.0-fpm restart # debian-style PHP 7

Using Upstart (e.g. ubuntu):

restart php7.0-fpm         # typical (ubuntu is debian-based) PHP 7
restart php5-fpm           # typical (ubuntu is debian-based)
restart php-fpm            # uncommon

Using systemd (newer servers):

systemctl restart php-fpm.service    # typical
systemctl restart php5-fpm.service   # uncommon
systemctl restart php7.0-fpm.service # uncommon PHP 7

Or whatever the equivalent is on your system.
