PHP version won't change, Attempting to switch PHP version in AMPPS results in a service restart but no change. (29 Replies, Read 170018 times)

Group: Member Post Group: Newbie Posts: 4 Status:	Hello, I'm running AMPPS, which is very useful. However, I'm attempting to upgrade the PHP version, and when I change it on the panel, the services restart. However, going back into the AMPPS admin section shows PHP 5.3.28. I've tried manually moving php 5.4 into the php directory, restarting, and stuff like that but the PHP version never changes. It's weird cause I know it's using the /php/ directory. Has anyone else run into this problem? I may be missing a step somewhere.

Group: Member Post Group: Newbie Posts: 2 Status:	Hi: Very same issue. Fully understand how to change PHP versions and PHP info showing 5.5.12 running when checked from AMPPS Home section. However, it appears that installation scripts - in my instance Moodle 2.7 - are checking against/detecting PHP version used for the AMPPS Admin Section (PHP 5.3.28). Any thoughts as to how one might get around this? Many thanks.

Further PHP5.5 refuses to be changed to only 5.4! I am running on WIndows 7. Is this issue fixed already or still being fixed? Thanks for your help.

Make a new thread about installation problems. Your problem is off-topic to this thread. You're probably just having a problem installing it all.

Group: Member Post Group: Newbie Posts: 1 Status:	Just wanted to reply here in case someone is still looking for the answer on how to change the PHP version because it took me more time than I care for to solve this. 1. Download the functions.php file and place it in the folder as suggested above. 2. This is key. If you open AMPPS and go to PHP>Change PHP Version and nothing happens and the application seems to freeze, this means that the PHP version window has opened on another monitor, just not the one you're looking at. You might have to open your monitor configuration panel and change your current monitor as secondary or if you have two monitors, keep them identified as they currently are but change the order around. This is hard to explain, but it works.
