WampServer

I understand you, but I'm using the google translator, that's why the confusion.
I meant that there are no services in the service manager.

comment that the wampserver works and boots well, except the extension that I put up that is activated by default or any other extension that tries to enable.

Hi,

> except the extension that I put up that is activated by default
All the errors you can have, like:

[25-Oct-2018 09:32:28 UTC] PHP Warning: PHP Startup: mysqli: Unable to initialize module
Module compiled with module API=20131226
PHP compiled with module API=20170718
These options need to match

All are due to the fact that the php.ini loaded is not the one corresponding to the PHP version of Wampserver.
If you load the "good" php.ini, for example for PHP 5.6.31, the extension path in php.ini must be:

extension_dir ="c:/wamp/bin/php/php5.6.31/ext/"

and, in this case, we load the PHP extensions compiled with the correct VC++ version and there are no loading errors.

But in your case, the wrong php.ini is loaded.
Indeed, Apache will first look for a php.ini file in the Windows folder, then in the folders defined in the PATH environment variable, then possibly uses the PHPDIR or PHPPATH environment variables if they exist then if it has not found a php.ini file, will see in its bin folder, i.e. in c:/wamp/bin/bin/apache/apache2.4.27/bin/ if there is a php.ini file - and this is the right one.

I repeat that you have a php.ini file or even an installation of another PHP version elsewhere than in the folder c:/wamp/bin/php/ and that it is this php.ini that is loaded first.

Note : If your language is Spanish, DeepL Translator is better than Google Translate.

Hi,

I would add that paths to load php.ini can also exist in the registry, in keys like:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\PHP

For Windows 64 bit there is also :

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\PHP

These keys are not created by Wampserver.

---------------------------------------------------------------
Documentation Apache - Documentation PHP - Documentation MySQL - Wampserver install files & addons

I didn't find any php.ini and the PATH doesn't exist anything that points to php.

I reinstalled the wampserver 3.0.1 after verifying that there were no services in the service manager, I repaired one by one the visual ++ executed from the administrator.

I'm still with the same problem but this time I'm going to pass you all the logs

Hi,

> I reinstalled the wampserver 3.0.1 after verifying
I think it is 3.1.0 (not 3.0.1). Full installer are : 3.0.0, 3.0.4, 3.0.6, 3.1.0, 3.1.3 and 3.1.4

- Apache is OK
- MySQL is OK
- MariaDB is OK

The first error for PHP :
PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function symlink() in C:\wamp\scripts\wampserver.lib.php on line 85
is completely incomprehensible because the symlink() function is a basic PHP function that exists for Windows since PHP 5.3.0 and Windows Vista.

The only explanation I have would be:
- that you are not in a Windows session with administrator rights
- that Wampserver has not been installed "as an administrator"
- that Wampserver is not launched "as an administrator"

The shortcut that launches Wampserver must have the option "As administrator":
Right-Click on the shortcut -> Properties
Button Advanced
Option Run as an administrator must be checked

Documentation Apache - Documentation PHP - Documentation MySQL - Wampserver install files & addons

Hello, if the icon that starts the wampserver is marked as administrator, apart from that is one of the first things I saw, on the other hand I found a my.ini file of a mysql version that I had, I removed it, although this was not the problem because as you said, mysql was installed correctly, anyway I did the installation again making sure that everything is correct but nothing continues to give the php error.

Already exhausted the forces.
I have a question, how much space is needed for the installation of the wamp? I have 60 GB

by the way thank you very much for the help and translator that goes very well.

Hi,

About 3 GB. MySQL and MariaDB take up the most space. About 1.5 GB for MySQL and 1 GB for MariaDB.

I must admit that I do not understand what is happening here, nor how to correct the problem.
At first glance, it is the creation of symbolic links (symlink) that does not want to be done on your system, since even the symlink function, although basic PHP, is not recognized.
We will not despair, I will look at how to replace the creation of symbolic links with copies of files.
It's going to take me a little while, but I'll find a solution.
See you soon.

---------------------------------------------------------------
Documentation Apache - Documentation PHP - Documentation MySQL - Wampserver install files & addons

Hi,

Replacing the creation of symbolic links with copies of files is a little more complex than I expected.

Indeed, Wampserver performs many checks, including the relevance of symbolic links in the Apache bin folder and it is very simple to know the target of a symbolic link in PHP by the readlink() function.

On the other hand, it is impossible to know what the original file is after a file copy.
This is why since Wampserver 2.5 it is used to create symbolic links instead of copying files.

---------------------------------------------------------------
Documentation Apache - Documentation PHP - Documentation MySQL - Wampserver install files & addons

Hi,

We will first check that your version of Windows supports symbolic links creation by using the "mklink" system command that exists since Windows Vista.
First, check with the file explorer to see if there is the php.ini file (or link) in the bin folder of your Apache version (c:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.27\bin\php.ini) if php.ini exists, it must be deleted.

Then open a command window as an administrator (the word Administrator must be in the title bar) and in this command window, type :

mklink c:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.27\bin\php.ini c:\wamp\bin\php\php5.6.31\phpForApache.ini

then Enter

The answer should be like : Symbolic link created for
Below, an example made on my system, but for Apache 2.4.37 and PHP 7.2.11 with wamp on J: (not on C: ) the answer in French ( "Lien symbolique créé pour" ) means "Symbolic link created for"

C:\>mklink j:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.37\bin\php.ini j:\wamp\bin\php\php7.2.11\phpForApache.ini
Lien symbolique créé pour j:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.37\bin\php.ini <<===>> j:\wamp\bin\php\php7.2.11\phpForApache.ini

You should also check that you can copy the files instead of creating symbolic links.
So, still in the command window type:

copy /Y c:\wamp\bin\php\php5.6.31\phpForApache.ini c:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.27\bin\php.ini

then Enter
The result should be like :
1 file(s) copied

Hi, I'm out on Monday I look at it, thanks.

Hello, the result for the creation of symbolic links is this:

symbolic link created for c:wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.27\bin\p.ini <<===>> c:\wamp\bin\p\php5.6.31\phpForApache.ini


I believe it but with 0 bytes, instead when I copy it it is complete.

It seems to be a failure of my system, I have no idea what this is due to.

SYMLINKS always show as 0 Bytes, that is not a problem.

Looks at the ic*.dll files in the apache/bin folder for example.

Hi,

> I believe it but with 0 bytes, instead when I copy it it is complete.
Normal. A symbolic line has a size of 0 bit, but in the Properties (Right-click Properties), you can see which is the target in the Link tab.

While waiting to find out why symbolic link creation by PHP does not work because the symlink() function is considered non-existent, I have prepared a special update 3.1.4.1 to support copying PHP dll files and ini files instead of creating symbolic links.

The file is here Update wampserver 3.1.4.1
To download and run as an administrator.

After installation, and before starting Wampserver, modify the file wamp64/wampmanager.conf to replace:

CreateSymlink= "symlink"

by

CreateSymlink= "copy"

You may have to launch and exit Wampserver two or three times before it works properly.
It is also possible that the wampmariadb64 service will not start.
If the icon does not turn green, it is possible to see which service is not started by:
Right-click -> Tools -> Check the status of services

And, to start a service that would not have been automatically started:
Left-click -> MariaDB -> Service administration -> Start/Resume Service

You can also launch:
Right-click -> Refresh

Note : Those who may wish to use this temporary and unofficial update are warned that using the copy mode several checks cannot be performed and should only be used for troubleshooting.

Hi,

enchant extension is not loaded by default because you need to install other "things" to use it.
See PHP documentation [php.net]

So, uncheck it by:
