Hi RiggsFolly.
Thanks for the response, and clarifications.
Regarding your answer to Q2. Sorry, I cant do that
... Instead I did as instructed "If you have questions or corrections please start a new thread and detail to report any problems."
I posed the questions, perhaps because I have learned the hard way not to take all instructions at face value. In this case the description of what was done was not consistent with the results shown I knew there was a hole somewhere. [It was a logis error - I've been around computers too long!]
I am sure others will see the same and now there is a documented explanation of that little gap. So it's all good.
Q1 and Q3 are related in my mind. In that without understanding the purpose it's impossible to understand the format and contents.
Note that in my preample I stated I have no other versions installed, nor would many other users as I have read elsewhere "a WAMPServer install is basically just a copy of files onto your disk". (see the link below)
I also believe that it is best practice to only include relevant configuration data (neither obsolete nor superfluous) for the installation, that there should be a 1:1 correspondece between what is installed/in use and what is configured, hence my 'suggested' solution and question about it.
Unless I am mistaken, there is no Apache2.2 ,Apache2.3 supplied in this version, so why SHOULD they be included in the configuration file for the version. Why arbitrarily configure for these legacy versions and not others.
Yes, It is possble to get Wampsever to switch versions of Apache and PHP and this file facilitates it but first those versions have to be installed.
I have browsed another excellent sticky posting "Before installing new release " see : [
forum.wampserver.com]
Within this there is a section "Bringing old versions of Apache, MySQL and PHP from your old wamp to your new wamp."
I assume that this can and should also apply to situations where a user may want to use more current versions of the components within your current wamp.
Don't you ?
Thanks for your help
