WampServer

I am using Wampserver v3.3.1 (64bit) on a Windows 10 [Version: 22H2] computer.
Recently I recognized that the Aestan Menu does not show the correct app versions. Meaning that for example the current active PHP version is 8.1.2 while in the Aestan Menu version 7.4.27 is marked as currently active. Also new installed versions are not listed in the Aestan Menu but available and usable by changing it in the wampmanager.conf file and restart WampServer.

How can I fix that without reinstalling and reconfiguring the whole WampServer?

Hello Elfangor93,

first of all make a backup of your databases via phpMyAdmin, then backup the complete WAMP folder.

The change of the used PHP version is done via the Aestan menu, not via the wampmanager.conf. How did you install the latest app versions, I hope as admin? Get a configuration report from the Aestan menu and look at the error.logs.

Greetings Peter

Can I switch versions manually without Aestan menu?
I can not backup all my databases since I can not switch anymore to the mysql version where the main part of my databases are stored. In Aestan menu mysql 5.7.37 is shown as current, but mysql 5.7.26 is active. Therefore I can not switch to mysql 5.7.37 using Aestan menu.

By the way. The configuration report is showing the following issues:



[91m***** One or more BINARY_PATH_NAME is incorrect *****

*** should be:

You should reinstall the services using the integrated Wampserver's tool:

I just noticed that in the wampmanager.ini file an entry for [switchMysql5.7.37] is missing. Could this be the reason why I can not switch back from MySQL 5.7.26 to MySQL 5.7.37?

Part in the wampmanager.ini file:
