Question

I was working on development environment containing PHP5 and Codeigniter using Apserve pack. I wanted to upgrade to PHP 5.3 so I downloaded the ZIP file and unpack it in c:\apserve\php5 directory. after this things got really crazy and messy.

PHP didn’t worked at all, even though apache is working. the only page is working is http://localhost/, while phpmyadmin http://localhost/phpmyadmin and http://localhost/ci folder don’t load at all. This link is shown in linkbar in my browser when I’m trying to get to phpmyadmin locally.

so how can I reconfigure php to get it working??

notes:

• php.ini located in windows folder and c:\apserve\php6 folder.
• php folder has two location; c:\programfiles\php6 and c:\apserve\php6.

I want to use c:\apserve content only.

this is my error log after removing previous errors and clean start up.

Answer 1

There is contradicting information in that log output, it seems to me you are loading php5 extensions in php6.

Have you tried removing all installations of php and installing only the one you need.

If you really must have multiple versions of php running, have you considered virtualising your dev environments?
