How do I install PHP-FPM 5.4 on 12.04?

Solution 1:

I will (ab)use already answered question: How do I install PHP 5.4.0?

You could use a ppa to stay up-to-date with php. I use :

https://launchpad.net/~ondrej/+archive/php5 Launchpad logo

It's now on 5.4. If you want use this ppa do this:

ppa:ondrej/php5 Launchpad logo (Click here for instructions on using PPAs.)

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php5
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

If you don't have add-apt-repository binary do the following:

sudo apt-get install python-software-properties

For more, see the already answered question mentioned in the top.
