I have a question in regards to updating PHP, Apache, and MySQL. Our current wampserver environment was setup for us by a third party and is incorrectly setup. I've been through this before. The site was not setup as a vhost and is structured incorrrectly. The site being hosted through Wamp does work, however when I upgrade and setup vhosts according to documentation, it breaks my theme of my wordpress site each time.
Either way, I'm wanting to know about upgrading the various individual programs to at least hit a higher version that has been patched more. With my version of Wampserver being 2.5, how high can I go for a PHP version? Same question for Apache and MySQL. I've updated the PHP version manually one other time and have instructions for that and will research the other two for updates. I have a Virtual machine that I can snapshot and such if things go awry. Can you help out and provide me those answers as to how high of a version I can go to? See below for my current setup. Thanks in advance.
1 - Windows version used: Windows 2008 R2 64-bit
2 - Version WampServer: 2.5 32-bit
3 - Apache Version: 2.4.9
4 - PHP Version: 5.5.34
5 - MySQL Version: 5.6.17
6 - What color is the WampServer icon: Green
7 - In the file c:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts, what are the active lines with the name [localhost] in them?
* Active means no # at the beginning of the line.
If the WampServer icon is green:
8 - Do you have access to localhost (Homepage WampServer)?
8a - If so, is there an error message at the bottom of the page?
9 - Do you have access to phpMyAdmin: Yes
10 - If you refer to an error message, please include the EXACT wording of the error in your post: none
11 - If you use an Antivirus and / or Firewall, please include the names of these: Trend Micro
12 - What is the full path to the installation of WampServer (eg D:\wamp\): F:\wampserver
13 - If you have one or more Virtual Hosts defined, please show their definition(s)
