WampServer

Hello, have anyone found out a way how to have WAMP installed with PHP 5.4.x and 5.3.x together? Thanks.

do you mean running at the same time?


I was asked this a while back with php 4 and php5 and it wasn't possible then , but now its possible with apache supporting the correct directives.

you will need to use vhosts to specify the php version you want to use, if you haven't used vhosts before, read up on these first to enable them in wamp.

Then you will want the following...

<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "c:/wamp/www/site1"
ServerName site1
LoadModule php5_module "c:/wamp/bin/php/php5.4.x/php5apache2_2.dll"
PHPIniDir "c:/wamp/bin/apache/apache/2.2.x/bin"
php_value extension_dir "c:/wamp/bin/php/php5.4.x/ext"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
</VirtualHost>


<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "c:/wamp/www/site2"
ServerName site2
LoadModule php5_module "c:/wamp/bin/php/php5.3.x/php5apache2_2.dll"
PHPIniDir "c:/wamp/bin/apache/apache/2.2.x/bin"
php_value extension_dir "c:/wamp/bin/php/php5.3.x/ext"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
</VirtualHost>



Replace x with your exact version numbers of apache and php.

No, I meant like to have WAMP installed with both and switch between them, now I can't, see [i.imgur.com] It looks like 5.3 wont work with WAMP 2.4 and vice versa

Maybe you install wamp 64 bit , and then tried to use a 32bit php addon?
stick to all x32 86

no, all I installed is x86. It's weird

most likely you have enabled some extension that doesnt exist in the version, or the apache version is not compatiable with that version,

you can force it to override into that version.

Shut down wamp.

open c:\wamp\wampmanager.conf

change php versions to the one you want to use.

[php]
phpVersion = "5.4.3" change this
phpLastKnown = 5.4.3 change this


open apaches conf file and change the version number to match this one also, i think its

LoadModule php5_module "c:/Wamp/bin/php/php5.4.3/php5apache2_4.dll" change this


if this then fails to start and you get orange icon, check the apache and php error logs and you will find out why its not working , just as on the menu

I get orange icon but those logs are empty Would it help if I completely remove wamp and all the files and reinstall?
