Topic: PHP :: Help Upgrading from 5.6.40 to 7.1.26 please

[harry2011]

This is on Windows Server 2012 R2. I have Apache 2.4.38 VC14 installed.

I have downloaded the x64 VC14 version of 7.1.26 to C:/PHP7 and updated the environment settings accordingly.

From a command prompt "php -v" now says 7.1.26 etc etc.

But when I update my conf file to:

LoadFile "C:/php7/php7ts.dll"
LoadModule php7_module "c:/php7/php7apache2_4.dll"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
PHPIniDir "C:/php7"

instead of:

LoadFile "C:/php/php5ts.dll"
LoadModule php5_module "c:/php/php5apache2_4.dll"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
PHPIniDir "C:/php"

then Apache will not start. I have tried to comment out all rows and try each one individually but Apache will not start with any of the rows.

I've also noticed that in the Apache Service Monitor whereas it used to say 'Apache/2.4.38 (win32) PHP/5.6.40' it now just says 'Apache/2.4.38 (win32)' with no reference to PHP.


Also my attempts to run php.info don't work.


I'm sure its something basic and simple but i can't see what i've missed.
