Updating xampp
Posted: 21. January 2015 07:43
I have xampp 1.7.3 installed on an old windows 2003 test server that I use for forums. I want to install a test forum for phpbb 3.1 however my php version is too old. Somehow I need to either upgrade php on the existing install or create a new install of xampp and import the old data. I have tried both with no success. My most recent attempt was an install of xampp 1.8.2-6 but I actually corrupted mysql trying to add the databases from the old install and had to revert to the "backup" folder. My attempts at updating php on the 1.7 install either resulted in apache not starting or weren't recognized by the phpbb installer. I tried following some of the php upgrade steps here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2154762/upgrading-php-in-xampp-for-windows Any assistance you can provide would be appreciated.
