Hello.
Yes, I need to use this deprecated version, I’m not working with the possibility to update the script, there is no time for this, I only need to run the 5.2.x version of PHP in a droplet, regardless of the distribution that is needed, someone I could explain how it is now possible to do this? I really have used many tutorials but have not had any success, do not intend to work with cPanel plugin, my goal is to use the command line for administration.
Thank you.

Hi @sylassouza,
Since PHP 5.2 has been long deprecated, most probably you’ll need to build it from source
Download PHP sources
wget -c -t 3 -O ./php-5.2.17.tar.gz http://museum.php.net/php5/php-5.2.17.tar.gz
tar xvfz php-5.2.17.tar.gz
cd php-5.2.17
Patch PHP
Try and patch it down at least making it a bit more secure. Not that it’s entirely possible due to the nature of the version but still.
wget -c -t 3 -O ./libxml29_compat.patch https://mail.gnome.org/archives/xml/2012-August/txtbgxGXAvz4N.txt
patch -p0 -b < libxml29_compat.patch
wget -c -t 3 -O ./debian_patches_disable_SSLv2_for_openssl_1_0_0.patch https://bugs.php.net/patch-display.php\?bug_id\=54736\&patch\=debian_patches_disable_SSLv2_for_openssl_1_0_0.patch\&revision=1305414559\&download\=1
patch -p1 -b < debian_patches_disable_SSLv2_for_openssl_1_0_0.patch
wget -c -t 3 -O - http://php-fpm.org/downloads/php-5.2.17-fpm-0.5.14.diff.gz | gunzip > ./php-5.2.17-fpm-0.5.14.patch
patch -p1 < php-5.2.17-fpm-0.5.14.patch
Compile and install
You’ll need to configure the PHP and then install it like so
./configure \
--prefix=/usr/share/php52 \
--datadir=/usr/share/php52 \
--mandir=/usr/share/man \
--bindir=/usr/bin/php52 \
--with-libdir=lib/x86_64-linux-gnu \
