I need to have multiple php versions on my local Windows 8 machine so I have downloaded .zip file of XAMPP 5.6.3 ... I have renamed the folder to Xampp-php-5.6.3. When I try to Start the Apache or MySQL it doesn't start. After a bit of look around - I opened httpd.conf and noticed that the ServerRoot was set to /xampp/apache - I changed this to /xampp-php-5.6.3/apache. I then opened up mysql.exe and I can see the folder name is /xampp/....
I can manually change all these values in httpd.conf and my.ini but I need to know what other files need modifications??
or is there any other simpler way to achieve what I am doing?
I already have php5.3 and php5.4 working this way but I can't remember how I got them working. any help will be appreciated. thanks
