Way to Change Confusing PHP Version

Hey @B1NAR10! Thank you for trying Jimmybox. Depending on how your needs, there are different ways to change PHP Version.

The easiest solution is to simply edit your local hosts file and add these lines to it:

192.168.33.11  jimmy80.com
192.168.33.11  jimmy74.com
192.168.33.11  jimmy73.com
192.168.33.11  jimmy72.com
192.168.33.11  jimmy71.com
192.168.33.11  jimmy70.com
192.168.33.11  jimmy56.com

Please google, how to change the hosts file in your OS.

After this, you can open your browser and open Jimmybox with the PHP Version you want to use (http://jimmy74.com links to PHP 7.4).

The second way is to edit the default host file of Jimmybox which is set to PHP 8:

go to your Jimmybox Directory
open provisioning/hosts/000-default.conf
Disable line 31 by adding #
Enable PHP 7.4 by removing the # in line 32
after this, reload Jimmybox with vagrant reload --provision

The third and most professional solution is to create your own host configuration. You should use this if you are working on multiple projects that require different PHP Versions. (site1.com = PHP 8.0, site2.com = PHP7.2 ...).

go to the provisioning/hosts directory in your Jimmybox root
copy 006-jimmy7.4.conf to 1001-yourproject.conf
open 1001-yourproject.conf
add your domain names in line 9 to yourproject.com
change your document root in line 32 according to your project root directory
add 192.168.33.11 yourproject.com to your local hosts file
restart vagrant with vagrant reload --provision
after this, you can open yourproject.com in your browser.

Since solutions 1 and 2 are very easy I would recommend you start with one of these. You can switch to solution nr. 3 later if you need it. For this I would also recommend you to become more familiar with Apache configuration files.

Hope this helps!

Cheers Bernie
