apache2 does not start when php5.6

[Jivanmukta]

I have a problem with apache2 - it does not start when php5.6 is
selected (when php8.1 - is OK)

● apache2.service - The Apache HTTP Server
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/apache2.service; enabled;
vendor preset: enabled)
Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Sun 2023-04-16 20:38:32
CEST; 5min ago
Docs: https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/
Process: 102809 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/apachectl start (code=exited,
status=139)

Reinstalling apache2 does not help. I use Ubuntu 20.

The support of PHP 5.6 ended years ago, so use a current version.

Problem does not occur if I have only php5.6 installed (i.e. when I
delete other versions of php). But I need php5 and php8.

PHP5 is old-ass an insecure. Change your software so it works with
current PHP versions.

I don't believe Apache *ever* worked with two versions of php installed
as modules. The only way will work (in my understanding) is to have one
or both php versions installed in CGI mode instead of module.

The module works as a shared library, and probably has conflicting
symbols. CGI mode will make them separate processes, so names won't
conflict.

I installed newer version of Ubuntu (22.04) and it is OK.
Problem solved.
