WampServer

I HAD version 3.0.3, but due to a mistake that I made, I wiped out the installation. I couldn't find v3.0.3, so I installed v3.0.6 and upgraded to v3.0.8.

I have everything on backup and can recover. How is the best way for me to recover from v3.0.3? The MySQL version that I was using is 5.6.17. Can I copy/paste the data files from the old version to the new version?

Thanks

Daryl

Hi,

What is your backup ?

- All Wampserver installation folder like c:\wamp with all subdirectories and files?
- Only some folders?

My back up is of the entire wamp directory.

After I posted this, I found MySQL v5.6.17 and installed it. I recovered the data files from my backup and I can see all of the databases, so that work. However, I can't start my websites.

I also recovered www from backup. I can bring up the localhost in my browser and I see all of my development websites under the projects list, but if i click on one, nothing happens. Do I have to use the same version of PHP that I was using when I was on v3.0.3?

Thanks

Daryl

Hi,

Read carefully Install a new release of Wampserver and you'll see that you can use your full backup if you put it back exactly in the same path (for example c:\wamp) than originally.

Hello,

I followed documentation as suggested, and tried to recover from v3.0.3 to v3.0.6 (and v3.0.8 upgrade). But, I haven't been very successful.

I installed v3.0.6 (a couple of times I've upgraded to v3.0.8) and recovered from backup. Usually I would just recover apaceh, mysql, php and my sites from www, but once I did a full recovery from backup.

No matter how I do this, I normally end up with the same error:

*** ERROR *** The PHP configuration loaded file is: f:/wamp/bin/apache/apache2.4.23/bin/php.ini - should be: f:/wamp/bin/apache/apache2.4.9/bin/php.ini or f:/wamp/bin/php/php5.6.18/phpforapache.ini
You must perform: Right-click icon Wampmanager -> Refresh

The original apache that I used was v2.4.9. As I said, I followed the instrcuction, I would "refresh" wampserver after recovering the old version of apache/php/mysql and select the old version that I had been using. I just don't see anything in the documentation that helps me with this error. If if there, I apology for not reading close enough.

Thanks

This means that the symbolic links could not be created.
Are you sure that the partition on which Wampserver is installed is NTFS?
Try
-Left-Click Wampmanager tray icon -> Apache -> Version -> 2.4.9 (Click on 2.4.9 even if already checked)
-Left-Click Wampmanager tray icon -> PHP -> Version -> 5.6.18 (Click on 5.6.18 even if already checked)

Otomatic,

I actually did this prior to your reply and that did resolve the error, however, now when I click on a project, I get nothing.

What I mean is; on the localhost page, I click on a project, the screen will flash, but the project doesn't come up in the browser. I do see the project in the URL bar, but the browser remains on the localhost page.

Thank you.

Daryl

I just figured out what I was missing. I needed to copy over the virtual hosts config file. Once I did that, all worked.

Thank you very much for your help.
