I Move to XAMPP 7.3.10!! - Upgrade Done!!!
- I install it, was easy than previous versions. There is no more a folder and many shortcuts in your Applications
- The previous version and files was not overwrited, is still in there. I can't use it, but was glad to have it in terms of source code backup in case my plain copy of files doesn't work
- The database files are not recoverable, glad I downloaded from the websites in .SQL file then I just run the PHPmyadmin and reinstall
- Now, the console is more complex
To make it run:
- need to start the XAMPP drive,
- then start the services,
- enable ports (localhost is now localhost:8080), which means in your url you must write localhost:8080/yourlocalwebsite/ instead of localhost. I know that is the way, but was more easy when you don't type the port number in the url.
- mount the data volumes, /opt/lampp is now your developer volume
- then a new location for the htdocs is defined, /opt/lampp/htdocs must be the new path in your code editor, in my case I still use Dreamweaver CC 2019 accepting recommendations
Of course new syntax comes for the commands and functions under PHP 7, I don't find yet any "universal" way to just move from a older version to a new one which allows not to rewrite the new syntax.
Because I use my notebook for something else, like edit videos, write blogs and my daily office issues, I close the XAMPP app then the whole make it run process must happen every time I return to code.
My next step, go to Apple support to know how to uninstall and clean the previous 32bit version of software to remove my older XAMPP.
