My current site runs on PHP 4, but I'd like to re-develop it using PHP 5. I'm trying to think of the best way to keep the old site up, but also have a space to do my re-dev.

What's the best way to tackle this using the Linux VPS package?

My recommendation for this issue would be compiling php5 manually and configuring it for only *.php5 files in Apache configuration. Then you'll be able to develop the site in PHP5 uploading php files with .php5 extension.

Is this a request that I could create a ticket for to get done?
