I have a new VPN with Ubuntu server 10.04 LTS which came with Mysql 5.1 installed, that was not supporting Barracuda file formats, so I manually installed and configured Mysql 5.6. Which works perfectly so far.
Apache2 is working well too, so far (haven't been testing it a lot but seems stable).
Only thing is that PHP5 was not recognising the module for PDO, so i removed it.
Is there a way I can MANUALLY install PHP5 or any version of PHP on Ubuntu ?
If I do apt-get install php5 it says
root@vps:/etc# sudo apt-get install php5
