Manual install of php 5.2.17 on wamp server 2 not working

Hello,

I tried to manually add PHP 5.2.17 to my Wamp server 2 (this is the version my ISP runs).

I followed the following steps as per instructions in another thread:

Download binaries on php.net (I downloaded php-5.2.17-nts-Win32-VC6-x86.zip)
Extract all files in a new folder : C:/wamp/www/bin/php/php5.2.17/
Copy the wampserver.conf from an other php foler (php/php5.2.11/) to the new folder
Rename php.ini-development file to phpForApache.ini (couldn't find php.ini-development so used php.ini-recommended) <- I modified some of the paths to reflect the new folder structure)
Done ! Restart WampServer

Unfortunately the icon in the taskbar is showing 2/3 yellow instead of all white. PHP 5.2.11 still works fine.

Any advice would be very welcome.
Thanks,
Tim.

Hi,

> php-5.2.17-nts-Win32-VC6-x86.zip

Wrong file. nts means No Thread Safe. You need Thread safe ie without nts in the name.
This file : [museum.php.net]
