I also noted I could not open the PHP configuration file through the menus while using PHP 5.5.

Here is a diff of the current configuration file vs the original :

Code
diff /Applications/AMPPS/conf/original-php-5.5.ini /Applications/AMPPS/conf/php-5.5.ini
405c405
< memory_limit = 128M
---
> memory_limit = 256M
804c804
< upload_max_filesize = 2M
---
> upload_max_filesize = 8M
1966c1966
< ;extension=gd.so
---
> extension=gd.so
1968c1968
< extension=zlib.so
---
> extension=zlib.so
\ No newline at end of file


I tried commenting out extension=gd.so but it did not make a difference. This line is uncommented in the PHP 5.4 configuration file.

Hi,

4.4.3 is Softaculous version. AMPPS version can be found in AMPPS Application -> Help Tab -> About.

GD is statically build in the new version of AMPPS i.e 2.3.
So no need to specify extension=gd.so in php.ini of PHP 5.5

You can confirm the PHP version, which should be 5.5.9 :
Code
/Applications/AMPPS/php-5.5/bin/php -v


And gd module should be listed here :
Code
/Applications/AMPPS/php-5.5/bin/php -m


If php version is not 5.5.9 then you are using older version.

Ok, I think I got mislead by http://localhost/ampps-admin/ where it says
Code
AMPPS Version : 4.4.3


Anyway, I confirm I am running AMPPS 2.3.

$ /Applications/AMPPS/php-5.5/bin/php -v (warnings removed in the output)
Code

$ /Applications/AMPPS/php-5.5/bin/php -m | grep gd (warnings removed in the output)
Code
gd

Hi,

Remove the line extension=gd.so  from php.ini and the warnings should go away. Edit the php.ini from AMPPS Application -> PHP Tab -> Configuration.

You can directly start using gd functions now.

Thanks for your suggestion Tidus. I tried removing that line by directly editing /Applications/AMPPS/conf/php-5.5.ini (going through the menus when PHP 5 is selected does not open any text editor, although it works for PHP 4). The system detects the change but the warnings remain, both in php CLI and on the AMPPS admin page.

Hi,

Okay. You can directly change /Applications/AMPPS/php-5.5/etc/php.ini and remove that line also make sure you have removed the same line from /Applications/AMPPS/conf/php-5.5.ini

Then run :

Code
/Applications/AMPPS/php-5.5/bin/php -v


and let us know the output.

Ok that did the trick.

Code

/Applications/AMPPS/php-5.5/bin/php -v
PHP 5.5.9 (cli) (built: Feb 20 2014 15:18:58)
Copyright (c) 1997-2014 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.5.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2014 Zend Technologies


However, from here, it looks like it is reading from /Applications/AMPPS/conf/php-5.5.ini but writing to both files (conf/php-5.5.ini and etc/php.ini). So if I make a change in etc, next time I use the GUI, this change does not appear and gets overridden.

Does that make sense? Am I missing something?

Thanks!

Hi,

AMPPS actually maintains Ampps/conf folder. All the configurations are maintained in single folder so it is easy for Ampps and users to take backup.

When Configuration is clicked from PHP Tab, it will open conf/php-<active-version>.ini, after the changes Ampps will copy the same file to php/etc/php.ini

/Applications/AMPPS/php is a symlink to current active PHP. i.e php-5.3 or php-5.4, etc, so Ampps will always copy it to the correct and active php folder.

Now what we recommend is that people should always change Configuration from Application. If user directly changes php/etc/php.ini then Ampps will overwrite the changes.

There was a bug from our side in PHP 5.5.
gd.so did not load which is fixed now in latest version. In Ampps 2.3, gd.so is built statically means no need to specify gd.so in php.ini, its already loaded. You can confirm the same by running this command

Code
/Applications/AMPPS/php-5.5/bin/php -m


Well, I am not sure if you are on Ampps 2.2 or 2.3. You can confirm that from AMPPS Application -> Help -> About

4.4.3 is the version of Softaculous which is simply an auto installer i.e the Enduser/Admin Panel provided in Ampps.

2.3 is the version of Ampps i.e Ampps Control Center and WAMP/MAMP Stack.

Hi Tidus,

Thanks for the detailed explanation. I probably overlooked one of your previous comments
Quote
also make sure you have removed the same line from /Applications/AMPPS/conf/php-5.5.ini

hence the confusion.

For this one time, it then makes sense to manually remove the offending line from both files. All subsequent modifications can then be made through the GUI.

I think we are all good now, thanks again for your time!
