Topic : PHP version won't change

Page 1 of 2

Posted By: kegbuna on June 13, 2014, 2:41 pm

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.

I should add, I went to the PHP Info page and it shows version 5.5.12 (logs also reflect this). However, the AMPPS admin page and softaculous still detect php 5.3.28. It's very confusiong

Hi,

Admin Section will always detect PHP version 5.3.28 now, as Softaculous always works on PHP 5.3

But, if you check PHP Info you should get a proper current active PHP version.

Great, thanks for the info. I have one concern though, certain scripts (such as Laravel) require PHP 5.4 or higher. Do I just manually create that project or can I use still use softaculous somehow?

Hi,

You can switch to any PHP version. Softaculous will always work and will always be on PHP 5.3

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.

Hi,

Should have pointed out that Moodle 2.7 requires PHP 5.4.4 at min. and the installation script comes to a juddering halt when it thinks 5.3.28 is running.

Hello,

I have the exact same problem of Moodle 2.7 one click install not working due to wrong version of PHP detected. 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.

Hi,

We have already fixed this. Please wait for the next version release of Softaculous in Ampps.

Hi,

Please find the attached patch and replace it with Ampps/ampps/softaculous/enduser/main/functions.php. Keep a copy of current functions.php, just in case required.

Hello, thanks so much for the response.

I'm getting this error now:

Laravel is not compatible with AMPPS.

Thanks.
