How to run two versions of PHP for two projects on same apache server

Question

I have 2 different virtual hosts on my apache server. One of them needs php7.x and another need php5.x.

Is it possible to use project-specific PHP versions?

I have tried the following,

Running two PHP versions on the same server

but my apache server crashed saying there's some syntactical error in one of the fpm's config file.

Also I cant follow this solution since It advices to uninstall apache and start over again and I can't do that on a live server.

Is there any way to do this without uninstalling the apache server. Thank you for your suggestions.

What are your specs? If you need to run it as Apache module, then you need two copies of Apache running on different IP/port combinations. If PHP-FPM is fine, I think you should fix the syntax error rather than drop the solution entirely. — Álvaro González
