WampServer

Hi,

I would like to report a possible bug in Wamp64.

After installing Wamp64, I manually installed the PHP 7.4 single installer add-on. However, the PHP menu was not updated and still showed the old PHP version list.

After investigating, I found that:

C:\wamp64\logs\php_error.log

had grown to 16,715,699,899 bytes.

When WampServer executed refresh.php, it appeared to read this large log file and ran out of memory. As a result, wampmanager.ini was not regenerated, and the PHP menu was not refreshed with the newly installed PHP 7.4 version.

Deleting or reducing the size of php_error.log allowed the refresh process to work correctly.

I think refresh.php should probably avoid reading extremely large log files into memory, or at least check the file size before processing it.

Thanks for your work on WampServer.

Hi,

There is an option to do this :
Right-Click -> Wamp settings -> Automatic Cleaning
By default there are :

* Clean log files automatically
* Empty log files at version change
- Number of lines before cleaning : 1000
- Number of lines after cleaning : 50
* Clean tmp files automatically

Of course, this can only be done when Wampserver starts up or restarts !
