I have WampServer Version 3.1.4 64bit installed on Windows 7 and it comes with PHP versions php5.6.38, php7.0.32, php7.1.22, and php7.2.10. I would like to use php5.6.x rather than php7.x.
So, when I switch from php7.2.10 to php5.6.38 from the server tray icon; it does not update the actual php version which is shown by phpinfo().
On localhost, it still says:
PHP Version: 7.2.10
However, it is updated on CLI side. This is tested with running this in the cmd:
php -v
The result is :
c:\wamp64\bin\apache\apache2.4.35\bin>php -v
PHP 5.6.38 (cli) (built: Sep 13 2018 12:45:08)
Copyright (c) 1997-2016 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.6.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2016 Zend Technologies
After restarting WAMP services, and re opening the terminal, and restarting computer, it still not updated through phpinfo. It probably related the php version used by Apache service. How can I change this to 5.6.x
Any suggestions ?
Many thanks
Note : The issue is not related with changing php cli version as it was pointed here. I do not understand why some of them insist that this is potential duplication without reading the post carefully.
I have faced kind of similar issue, I have installed wampserver upgrades from https://wampserver.aviatechno.net/?lang=en. I needed php 7.3 and 7.4, after installing the php upgrades, those new versions were not being reflected in wampserver traymenu (left click on wamp icon->php-versions). After spending quite some time looking into this, finally could fix this by following steps :
Clearing logs (right click on wampserver icon -> tools -> empty logs)
[my php log file was 300+ MB].
Restarted wampserver and it was good to go.
I found solution from this thread http://forum.wampserver.com/read.php?2,159184
(TL:DR) Use left click -(instead of right click)- menu to change PHP versions.
(Long explanation)
Hi, this happened to me today. I was trying to change the php version from 7.2 to 5.6 to test something. However, Wampserver was not changing the web version of php. After much searching in the web and noticing in certain videos that some people were getting a different menu than me in the wamp server icon, I realised that there is a whole left click menu in wampserver in which you can change the php version and it does change the web version of php.
I understand that this can be a bit confusing for people who are used to using wampserver, but for someone who is using it for the first time, we are not used to having a left click menu in the bottom right icons. I hope this saves some time for others who have a similar issue than mine.
The wampmanager->Tools->Change PHP CLI Version menu only changes the version of PHP that will be used by wampmanager.exe to run all the PHP scripts that provide all the functionality of WAMPServer.
It has no effect on the version of PHP that will will be run from the command line in Windows.
If when you open a command windows and run the PHP interpreter >php.exe you actually get to the PHP interpreter, then you must have added one of the possible paths to one of WAMPServers PHP folders to the Window's PATH. You should never do this with WAMPServer, so if this is what you did, UNDO IT! This is for obvious reasons as you could have multiple versions of PHP available and want to run any one of them at any time as the CLI Version to test some code against multiple versions of PHP.
Instead create yourself a little batch/cmd file that accepts a php version as a parameter like in this answer I posted a while ago
With that you can set the PATH temporarily for the life of a command window ONLY. You can also make it include a PATH to the PEAR and/or COMPOSER folders at the same time, if you use either of these.
To check All VC Runtimes
There is a tool for checking if you have all the possible required VC Runtimes installed. Go to this page, the backup repo for WAMPServer, and download the little utility called Checks VC++ packages installed you will find it down near the bottom of the page. Download and run it, then throw it away, as it changes over time as new VC Runtimes become required.

This is a weird question, so bear with me while I try to explain it properly.
I have a Ruby on Rails app running on Heroku, with source code on Git. In my home, I have a Mac small laptop, and a Windows 7 Desktop PC.
What I want is to be able to work the code on RubyMine on my Windows machine. Because of many many shenanigans, working on Windows and then uploading to heroku just doesn't work.
Instead, I would like to download my code on my Mac, open it somehow from Windows (on LAN), and be able to run it on the Mac (from RubyMine on Windows), and open it in a browser from Windows.
I've been trying for several weeks now. Have anyone done this before? I know it sounds bizarre, but I really wish to work on my 3 monitors Windows setup.
You can let RubyMine use an SDK over SSH.
go to: File => Settings
select: Languages & Frameworks => Ruby SDK and gems
click the add icon (plus symbol)
choose: New remote...
select: SSH Credentials
fill in the host, username, password and path
After adding the remote SDK make sure it is selected as your project SDK.
edit
As #GujMil pointed out in the comments below, when running the application the Windows path is send as parameter to the Ruby SDK. After some fiddling I found that you can map the local path to the remote path in the SDK Configuration or Run/Debug Configurations.
go back to the SDK configuration (step 1 & 2 previous list)
click the Edit Path Mappings icon for your remote Ruby SDK (img)
add your path maps
For me the following was enough (using Linux instead of OS X):
+----------------+-------------+
| Local path | Remote path |
+----------------+-------------+
| //192.168.0.96 | /home |
+----------------+-------------+
For further info see: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/ruby/configuring-remote-interpreters-via-ssh.html
If your question sounds bizarre, so does my answer. I have experimented a similar setup with Linux servers.
Set up a shared folder to host the code on the Mac: Apple
instructions here
Access the folder over your LAN and edit the code in RubyMine.
Open an SSH terminal to your Mac so that you can remotely run the
Rails server, run necessary commands and view the logs (easy with
your multi-monitor setup)
Note: RubyMine will likely complain about missing gems.
My question, is there a way to configure the InstallShield setup and deployment project so that when I attempt to install the service it will uninstall the previously installed version of the service.
I've created a Windows Service and an InstallShield setup and deployment project to be able to install it onto my machine. The process of installing and uninstalling the service all works fine. When I go to update the service, at the moment, I need to stop the service, uninstall the service manually, and then run the installer. What I am trying to get to is a point where I can run the installer and it will uninstall the previous version of the service before installing the current version.
I have seen this process of running the install and having the previous versions uninstalled work. Through creating a test project using a windows form application. I was able to install the application. Then I: incremented the product version, created a new product code, added a new upgrade entry in the upgrade path area, and configured that upgrade entry setting the min and max version. After doing this, I rebuilt the setup project and ran the installer and the upgrade from version A to version B was complete.
The only difference I believe from the original test project (where I saw the process work) and my Windows Service project is that my test project was a Windows Forms application versus a Windows Service. In all the research I have been doing I have seen people ask similar questions, but I have not seen any real suggestions on what actions to take. So if anyone knows if this is possible or has any suggestions that I could try to accomplish this task they would be greatly appreciated.
I was able to resolve this issue, so it is possible. The setting I mentioned above are the correct settings needed to allow the service to update. This was just a case of human error that was causing my problems.
I'm having a big problem with my wamp server for some months now.
I've developed 6 sites locally using wamp server. I had a problem with my computer and copied all my site directories to a hard Disk.
I got a new computer with W8.1 on it and copied back the wamp-folder. I tried to lunch it, but its not working. So i've installed a new wamp server. But i've no idea how to import my site from the old server to the new.
My first problem is that I can't get my old site running on the new wamp installation. I did not save my databases before my computer went down.
But I thing I can find it on the mysql folder from the old system backup. Where and how, I've no idea. So I would like to take my sites from the old wamp and installed it on the new one or get it to work on the new wamp. I've already googled for one month now but I could not find any solution!
Option 1. ReCreate the old WAMPServer on the new PC
If you have the complete directory structure backed up from your old PC then you can just copy the complete folder structure from your backup to the new PC.
Make sure you put it on the same disk and folder that it was originally installed on, so if it was originally installed in C:\wamp make sure you copy it back to that folder.
Launch the wampmanage.exe from that folder ( C:\wamp\wampmanager.exe )
Using the wampmanager menus do
left click wampmanager -> Apache -> Install Service
left click wampmanager -> MYSQL -> Install Service
WAMPServer should now be as it was before your problem
Windows 8.1 has a blank C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file, so you will also need to add all the domains for any Virtual Hosts you had created, but at a minimum it should have these entries.
127.0.0.1 localhost
::1 localhost
Option 2. Add your old Apache/PHP/MYSQL to the new installation of WAMPServer
Remember, one of the big advantages of WAMPServer over other Windows AMP stacks is its ability to have more than one version of each of Apache/PHP/MYSQL in the same WAMPServer instance ready for easy switching between verions of all of these.
So you could keep the new installation and selectively copy over the Apache/PHP/MYSQL versions and then copy over your 6 sites.
So STOP WAMPServer
copy the OLD \wamp\bin\apache\{apacheversion} folder to NEW `\wamp\bin\apache\
copy the OLD \wamp\bin\php\{phpversion} folder to NEW `\wamp\bin\php\
copy the OLD \wamp\bin\mysql\{mysqversion} folder to NEW `\wamp\bin\mysql\
Restart WAMPServer
You should now see that the old and new version of Apache/MYSQL/PHP are available.
Now copy your OLD \wamp\www\??? site folders into NEW \wamp\www\??? and your 6 sites should also be available.
Now you can switch back to the old versions of Apache/PHP/MYSQL and run your sites like that, or backup you databases properly using the old MYSQL version and then restore them to your new MYSQL version
You switch versions using the wampmanager menus like so:-
wampmanager -> Apache -> Version -> (click the required version number )
wampmanager -> MYSQL -> Version -> (click the required version number )
wampmanager -> PHP -> Version -> (click the required version number )
Six years later, I just resolved this exact same problem. I tried #RiggsFolly's solutions to no avail. Reading logs to try debugging this whole mess became tedious real fast, especially if the paths between the old and the new installations don't match anymore.
Considering a new clean wampserver installation and an old wamp(64) directory from somewhere else:
First, export your mysql's databases.
To do that, use the command line to reach C:\path\to\old\wamp\bin\mysql\mysql{version_number}\bin and start the mysql server with the mysqld command (when you are done exporting, use mysqladmin -u {user name} shutdown). Now, export your databases with mysqldump or any other method you will find around and re-import them inside your new installation.
Transfer the folders of your projects inside www from the old to the new installation.
Recreate your virtual hosts by pointing the paths out to the related pasted folders inside www.
There you go. This way, everything was cleanly imported and you don't have to worry about a dirty setup which will bug at some point.
I hope it helps someone else.
i am using virtual dedicated server and the configuration is windows server 2008 R2 standered edition. I recently upgraded it to PHP version 5.3.10(thread Safe version). I Installed PHP ImageMagick version /ImageMagick-6.6.3-0-Q16-windows-dll.exe by following the steps given at http://gary-greendale.blogspot.in/2011/01/install-php-imagemagick-and-imagick-for.html
I got my php ImageMAgick working finally(after nth attempts) using command prompt. but now i am tryin to use php_imagick.dll to load iMagick Library with PHP.
After thousands of efforts and lots of dll files replaced (tried many versions)
http://valokuva.org/builds/
http:+//valokuva.org/builds/ext/vc9/nts/imagick/2011-04-25_1849/
http:+//valokuva.org/builds/ext/vc9/ts/imagick/2011-04-25_1849/
and many other thread and non thread safe versions. Please suggest me the correct version of the php_imagick.dll so that i can get it running on my server.
I am sure the issue is related to php_imagick.dll's version.
Its kinda urgent now help please
The problem is that those versions at valokuva.org are VC9 and versions of ImageMagick after 6.6.2-10 are VC10. Basically, you're going to need to downgrade to an earlier version of ImageMagick if you want to run it with those IMagick binaries.
I know this because I just dealt with it today and found the solution on an Apache forum. Once I downgraded to 6.6.2-10, it started working.
Here's a link to the forum post...
I need to use CS Staging API to do some tests with a remote server.
However, the Staging option is grayed out for me and my colleague, at least
when i try to install the MSDN version (both Enterprise and Developer).
Any idea how can I at least use the Staging API with the remote server?
(I do not care whether I've got a local server or not)
Thanks in advance
Greg
You are trying to install on an unsupported OS
You cannot officially install CSS on the following OS':
Windows XP
Windows 7
Windows Vista
Having said this, the Greg has got CSS working on Windows 7 by manually copying the binaries (see comments below). Obviously, this is not supported or endorsed by Microsoft.
You are missing CSS pre-requisite software
For example, classic ASP is one of the pre-requisites. Make sure you follow
the (long) instructions in the CS 2007 Install Guide, you should be OK. You can also review a list of components CSS depends upon.
