Is there a way to install old packages of the following versions:

apache2: 2.2.12

mysql: 5.1.37

PHP 5.2.10

on Ubuntu 12.04, i386, using apt-get or dpkg?

  • As an alternative, I would suggest you look into virtual machines or containers (LXC, docker, etc.) to setup a specific setup

First you should notice that apache2.2.12 has many security vulnerabilities

Now in general you can downgrade a package version in Ubuntu, but you should notice that the version must be available in the software channels(your repositories). To show the available versions for some package run the command:

apt-cache showpkg <package-name>

Now to downgrade a package select the version you want then:

sudo apt-get install <package-name>=<package-version-number>

Now back to your case, I don't think those versions is available for Ubuntu 12.04.
