I tried to create a custom app which uses php5 (because of mysql_connect command instead of mysqli_connect). When tried to install it, the moment i click on install, the githhub repo is being copied into /var/cache/from_file folder and when i saw the contents immediately, i found “php5” is replaced with “php7.0” in conf, script folder files and thus it is giving an error in my installation.
I was trying to reload php5.6-fpm service and because of above behaviour, it is trying to reload php7.0.6-fpm service.
Is there any workaround for this?
