I believe that PHP4 (and most of the ports used in the server of your client) are not supported anymore. You would be able to download it from somewhere, there must exist archives, but you'd have to build everything by hand. > Is there any suggestion on what I can do > other than convincing the client to renew the server? > (which I am doing but already been politely refused) 1) build a new system, with new Apache, new PHP, etc. and port the web site of your client to the new system. Let the client test and approve it, an install that on his old hardware. 2) get your boss approve the fact that the server of the client is ou of date and cannot be maintened anymore. Then you charge the client for colocation (electricity and internet) but the client is responsible for the maintenance.
