How to fix Apache not starting after updating wamp to PHP 8 ? (no replies)

Hi,

I need to have PHP 8 on wamp server as I am doing a project needing that PHP version

I am stuck though, I tried many tutorials and tips and wamp does not work as it did before I updated wampserver adding PHP 8

this is the error message that I get from wamp > tools > check for services:

State of services:

The service 'wampapache64' is NOT started
>>> httpd.exe: Syntax error on line 199 of C:/wamp64/bin/apache/apache2.4.56/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load c:/wamp64/bin/php/php8.0.8/php8apache2_4.dll into server: The specified module could not be found. .
>>> httpd.exe: Syntax error on line 199 of C:/wamp64/bin/apache/apache2.4.56/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load c:/wamp64/bin/php/php8.0.8/php8apache2_4.dll into server: The specified module could not be found. .

The service 'wampmysqld64' is started
Service Session : LocalSystem

The service 'wampmariadb64' is started
Service Session : LocalSystem

WampServer (Apache, PHP and MySQL) will not function properly if any service
'wampapache64'
'wampmysqld64'
'wampmariadb64'
is not started.

all services BINARY_PATH_NAME are OK
all services START_TYPE are OK
