I’m mostly running WordPress sites on my testing server, which requires the curl extension to be enabled in order to update plugins and itself. There does seem to be one more step that should probably be added. Thanks Daniel – I needed to update my testing server, which has been running on 15-year old versions of Apache/php that were available as. You can find the specification of the others parameteres here. The -t parameter test the syntax of the configuration files, and then exits. If you have any problem when starting Apache because of its configuration, you can see the detailed error by executing: Troubleshooting Apache Configuration Problems Then go to your browser and write this page should show the details of your PHP installation. Create the following text file C:\Apache24\htdocs\phpinfo.php:.Rem #Command to start the Apache Windows serviceĪnd the last alternative is to use the services console (services.msc). The other alternative is to open the command prompt window (cmd.exe) as administrator and execute: You have to start Apache Windows service, to do this, use Apache monitor C:\Apache24\bin\ApacheMonitor.exe.It’s a good idea to make a backup of this file as well. The only thing you have to do is to rename the file C:\php7\php.ini-development to C:\php7\php.ini.

LoadModule php7_module "c:/php7/php7apache2_4.dll" Locate the ServerRoot to configure the server root to c:/Apache24, the following should be used:ĪddType application/x-httpd-php.

Open the Apache Configuration file C:\Apache24\conf\nf.Then unzip the PHP binaries to the C:\php7 folder.If you are using PHP as FastCGI with IIS you should use the Non-Thread Safe (NTS) versions of PHP. Other common question is whether you should download the thread safe or non-thread safe PHP version, I’m using the thread safe version, because on the Windows PHP main site says: You can always download a release candidate at the QA site (if you downloaded the 32 bit version of Apache then download PHP x86, don’t mix versions). To get the latest stable version download the thread safe binaries from the PHP for Windows site.

If you do this you can use the Apache Monitor (located at C:\Apache24\bin\ApacheMonitor.exe) to start and stop Apache. Rem #Command to install Apache 2.4 as a Windows Service Rem # Or whatever path you unzipped the Apache files
