WampServer

Hello,
I have installed WAMP Server 2.5 onto an HP server that is running Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1. I am building this configuration to copy a live environment and need to run PHP 5.3.29 as the PHP version. I have tried downloading the Windows 5.3.2-WIN32-VC6-x86.zip file, then extracting it to a new folder in the bin/php folder and copying the PHP.ini, phpForApache, and wampserver files to it as well and changing their contents to reflect the 5.3.29 version of PHP..

I can get the PHP version to show up in the WAMP PHP menu, but when I switch to it, the WAMP server stays orange and will never turn green. Also, the PHP error log shows a plethora of errors. When I change back to the original PHP version everything works fine.

Any links to previous questions or new help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

All VC6 packages will not work with VC9, VC10 or VC11 and Wampserver 2.5 is build with VC9 or VC10.

If you want to run PHP 5.3.29 with Wampserver 2.5 , you must download a VC9 package:
php-5.3.29-Win32-VC9-x86.zip

Topo in English and French: [forum.wampserver.com]
It is for php 5.3.28, but it is the same for 5.3.29, just replace 5.3.28 by 5.3.29.

Hello Otomatic,
Thanks so much for the help finding that link. I am having the same error that the person in the linked discussion is having. After restarting the server and the WAMP service the logo stays orange with 5.3.29 selected and will not turn green. I have Apache 2.4.9 running, PHP 5.3.29 running, and MySQL 5.6.17 running. I looked in the PHP error log and below is what I found.

The Apache and MySQL logs also have errors in them, but the list is so numerous that I am not sure if they are actually errors. Am I running the right version of Apache and MySQL? Do I need to change anything in the Webgrind folder?

Once again any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated, and thanks so much for the previous help.

Try doing this

using menus do

wampmanager -> Apache -> Version -> 2.4.9 ( click the 2.4.9 )

This will rebuild the SYMLINKS in the apache2.4.9\bin folder.

Hello Riggs,
Thanks for the tip. I tried doing what you suggested and still no luck. I don't know if every time I quit the WAMP service and then restart WAMP if it clears the error log, but if it doesn't, then I have no new errors. If it does clear the error log after every time you stop and start the WAMP service then I am still getting the same error message. I even restarted the physical server and still no luck.

Thanks so much for giving me the tip though! Let me know if there is anything else you can think of.

Logs from Apache/MySQL and PHP are not cleared by anything other than you, plus all lines are date/time stamped.
