Hello! I've tried searching several forum posts and following existing instructions, but none of them seem to solve my exact issue. Here's what is happening.
I have inherited a server it is now my responsibility to maintain. It is currently running WAMPServer64 3.1.9.
I have made a "virtual machine checkpoint" so that I can test and roll back changes if necessary (thank goodness).
When I boot the machine, it loads PHP version 7.3.5. I can *confirm* this by running a query against the server or loading a page with the proper code, etc...
HOWEVER, when I open WAMPServer64's WAMPManager down in the system tray, it SAYS it is running 7.2.18. Hitting the arrow to reveal the installed versions shows a green check next to 7.2.18. If I click on 7.3.5, everything closes and relaunches, and while the server itself still reports 7.3.5, the tray icon still says 7.2.18 (both green check and in the main menu).
Choosing one of the other, older versions of PHP on the server breaks the website it's hosting, and the log files seem to indicate that they "can't find" extensions in the ext folder, despite the fact that the path is exactly correct and the files ARE THERE.
List of things I have tried:
Re-selecting the "Apache" version (which I've read forces a rebuild of symlinks).
Right click WAMPManager icon, tools, reinstall all services
manual edit of C:\wamp64\wampmanager.conf
manual edit of C:\wamp64\wampmanager.ini
delete C:\program files\php\
upgrade WAMP64 to 3.2.5
upgrade PHP add-in to 7.4.25
manual edit of C:\wamp64\bin\php\php7.3.5\php.ini
manual edit of C:\wamp64\bin\php\php7.3.5\phpForApache.ini
manual edit of C:\wamp64\bin\php\php7.3.5\wampserver.conf
manual edit of C:\wamp64\bin\apache\apache2.4.39\conf\httpd.conf
It is always possible I missed something in any of my "manual edits" or (I was primarily searching for any references to 7.2.18) but
Any suggestions would be EXTREMELY helpful. I'm willing to try anything. And before anyone tries to answer with "if it's not hurting anything, leave it alone" - this prevented me from upgrading to 7.4.25 without breaking everything, so I would like to be able to resolve this.
I can take screenshots or videos of anything necessary if somebody wants to see my issues in action.
Thank you!
