I attempted an upgrade to AMMPS 2.5. I did the backup as per the upgrade Wiki stuff. Then when starting the server, when it asked me to upgrade, I accepted that. Nothing happened.
I went to AMMPS admin, and tried an upgrade there. It seemed to work. Then I re-started the server, and it asked me again if I wanted to upgrade. (!!!!) I accepted that. This time it did an install. It seemed to work.
Then I started the server again, hoping to upgrade PHP. I chose PHP 5.6. Then Apache would not start.
I installed the MS Visual C++ 2012 library as per other notes here.
I started the server again, and Apache still won't start. I tried downloading the AMMPS install instead, and re-ran the install. Still Apache will not start. I tried setting Apache, MySQL, and PHP config files back to default, still nothing.
I found your command line thing, ran it, and got this:
C:\>"C:/Program Files (x86)/Ampps/apache/bin/httpd.exe"
httpd.exe: Syntax error on line 158 of C:/Program Files (x86)/Ampps/apache/conf/
httpd.conf: Cannot load C:/Program Files (x86)/Ampps/php/php5apache2_4.dll into
server: The specified module could not be found.
That dll file is, in fact there. Any ideas? Is my AMMPS install just totally destroyed?
