WampServer

I have got WAMP working by uninstalling my standalone versions of Apache and PHP but I can't use PHP 5.3 as my hosting company are still using old MYSQL passwords. So I downloaded the 5.2.6 PHP "extension" and installed it but the WAMP logo stayed orange when I switched to it. I couldn't see any error message or any error log.

So I tried 5.2.11. That won't work either. If I switch back to 5.3.8 it turns green just fine.

I'm stuck without the clue of an error message. Anyone have any suggestions?

Yes i wrote to developer already and he said he would add a note to the download page. but he never did


WampServer 2.2 is now VC9 ONLY which means it will only support PHP5.3.6 or greater.

You will need to change apache to a vc6 version for this to work.

WampServer 2.1e 32bit is vc6 apache.

Thanks Steve

So what do I have to do? Uninstall WampServer 2.2 and install WampServer 2.1e 32bit? If so, how do I get hold of WampServer 2.1e 32bit because I don't see any page containing old versions?

Or do I just have to install an extension of an old version of Apache? If so, which version is definitely VC6?

i have vc6 versions on my site> [pampserver.com]

but i only have made up to apache 2..2.17

you can find 2.1e on sourceforge >>[pampserver.com]

I grabbed 2.1e off sourceforge, uninstalled wamp, installed 2.1, added PHP 5.2.6 and now it all works.

Thanks for your help.

Very neat system - if only there were more of the gotchas listed on the FAQ page...

i know but i hope im quick enough on the forum to make up
