Apache Friends Support Forum

The batchfile to change between php 5 and 4 seems to have a bug.
It points to \XAMPP, but it should point to \APACHEFRIENDS\XAMPP
for the PHP switch. So switching php doesn't work.

Anybody else noticed this? Is there a fix?

If you install XAMPP to a drive without including a directory e.g. D:\
the switch.bat and everything else will work perfectly.

PHP-SWITCH screwes up:

Yeah, I found out how to do it.
if installed in C:\XAMPP all works well...

but if you install XAMPP using
the EXE installer, than it defaults to installing in
C:\APACHEFRIENDS\XAMPP. In this case the PHP-SWITCH messes up
everything, so I still call this a bug!

Anyways, I tackled the problem...

I usually use the 7-ZIP package, the new exe installer has always put apachefriends as the root, not good.
