WampServer

OS = Windows Server 2012 64-bit
Apache = 2.4.23 (in the list of services it says Win32 in parenthesis for this service)
Php = 5.6.24
MySQL = Ver 15.1 Distrib 10.1.16-MariaDB, for Win32 (AMD64)
Wampserver is not installed. I wish to install the latest Wampserver.


I need to update the php version, but the server presently has xampp which does not easily allow for the update of individual components. I am wondering if anyone can provide a set of steps for replacing xampp with WampServer. On top of this stack is running Joomla. Only Apache and Php and MySQL are being used thru xampp.

Thanks in advance.

1. Backup your databases and you site code.
2. Uninstall XAMPP
3. Install WAMPServer
4. Restore the databases and sites
