WampServer

recently i just found out when i turn on wamp server i see an error message at the base of the tray saying:

Error c:/wamp or PHP in PATH..

Any method of solving this error.

It is a WARNING, not an error

It is because either you or a previous install of PHP (Not Via WAMPServer) has added the php.exe folder or one that used to exist to the Windows PATH.

It is not needed for WAMPServer to work so we issue the warning.
It does cause people confusing when the wrong version of PHP is added to the PATH, and they are using PHP CLI, which is why we issue the WARNING

dear team
i did upgrade from Wamp Server 3.0.0 to 3.1.7
upgrade php and apache
now am getting the error of Wampserver does not use, modify or require the PATH environment variable. Using a PATH on Wampserver or PHP version is detrimental to the proper functioning of Wampserver.
I have remove the path to php path , removed but

still the service are not running and website is offline

please advise on this matter

This WARNING Does not stop WAMPServer from running !!!!

If you have one or more services that are not running, then please explain WHICH service is not running.


Also make sure you have looked at the Error logs (C:/wamp/logs)

If that does not identify the issue then also look at the Windows Event Log for errors messages from Apache or MySQL or mariaDB. Then if you still cannot fix this yourself, please show us these errors

Hi,

See TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS especially items 03 and 08, but do not avoid the other items.

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

Did you look at the error logs? Did you look at the Windows Event Viewer?

I have reverted back to Wampserver 3.0.0 and all services are running
now ad we want to upgrade

what are steps by steps to upgrade to
Wamp 3.1.7
PHP 7.31
Apache 2.34
MySql 7

without loosing database data or causing wamp unresponsiveness

thank you

Look at the WAMPServer Backup repo.
It is much easier to navigate than SourceForge

Download Wampserver update 3.1.7
Install it.

Then go back to the backup repo and download the ADDONS for the versions of Apache/MySQL/PHP that you want to be running.

This will NOT change the versions that you are currently running. So then BACKUP ALL YOUR databases. Thats all YOURS not the ones that are there for MySQL to use.

Then switch version of Apache/MySQL/PHP
Then once the MySQL you want is running, RESTORE your databases to the new version of MySQL.

thank you Moderator

i follow up the steps provide and all is working fine
but here bellow the error am getting.

Warning: "continue" targeting switch is equivalent to "break". Did you mean to use "continue 2"? in C:\wamp64\apps\phpmyadmin4.5.2\libraries\config\FormDisplay.class.php on line 654

I thnk you also need to Upgrade your phpMyAdmin.
That is also an ADDON found in the same place as above.
