I've being working with XAMPP (PHP 7.4) and using Xdebug without any problem. But recently I installed another XAMPP to have a different version of PHP (PHP 8) on the same device.
Maybe installing 2 XAMPPs is not the best solution but it works for me. The problem is that even though I've tried to install Xdebug on this new XAMPP, it doesn't work. It doesn't show any errors, it just doesn't stop on the breakpoints I've put.
I downloaded the correct version of the Xdebug dll from the official page and followed the same steps I followed the first time I installed it on the PHP 7.4 XAMPP. BTW, the old XAMPP still works and has no problem debugging.
What am I missing? Thanks in advance.

I have read this question and it didn't help me:
PHPMyAdmin Windows XAMPP Missing MySQL Extension Issue
Tomorrow I have a big demonstration where I demonstrate my project (for my internship) and I wanted to install 2different xampp versions because the pc's there are a little funky sometimes and better be safe than sorry. But now whenever I start xampp and go to PHPMyAdmin it gives me an error
missing php mysqli extension
I tried everything in the question linked above but nothing works.
I restarted my pc, delete all xampp versions on my pc but still nothing.
Tried installing on a different pc, worked plugged the USB drive back into my pc and it still works. Though this is not a solution since I still can't install a xampp version even if I delete the current version on my usb or try to install it on my pc (without USB).
Short backstory: Recently I've installed MAMP as I want to start learning PHP. I got version 4.1.1 from the MAMP homepage, Apache didn't start. This seems to be a common bug for that version, I found a solution in downloading version 4.1.0. Both servers started but the Open WebStart Page didn't work.
My Problem: I wanted to try reinstalling it, I deleted the MAMP folder, as I thought that would be sufficient, instead of deleting it in the system settings. Now when I download it again and start the installer it says
MAMP setup has detected existing MAMP installation. You need to remove existing installation before proceeding. Do you want to uninstall it now?
Clicking either yes or no gives me
MAMP setup will now exit and the existing MAMP installation will not be removed.
In the system settings I find
MAMP & MAMP PRO 4.1.0 version 4.1.0 (1.47 GB)
When trying to uninstall it it gives me this error
Windows cannot find 'C:\MAMP\unins000.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again.
Is there any way, other than reinstalling my whole OS, to solve this problem or do I have to turn to a different web server app?
I just encountered this problem and I hope my solution works for you as well:
Just download the .exe file into another device and install the MAMP.
After a successful installation, just copy the folder to your original device that has the problem.
And then you should find a file with a name starting with "uni" meaning it is for uninstallation. Just run that file and then everything should be fine!
I had the same problem (on OS is windows 10).
I browse the web and found a way:
You can download the ccleaner and use it, it can delete the MAMP.
This is my issue and it has given me sleepless night.
I have been working on the wamp 2.1 server environment for the past 3 years and now i want to upgrade. I finally installed wamp 2.5 and would be willing to keep my previous wamp 2.1 version. everything looks good, because after installation, i did the following after:
Copied ?:\wamp_old\bin\apache to ?:\wamp\bin
Copied ?:\wamp_old\bin\mysql to ?:\wamp\bin
Copied ?:\wamp_old\bin\php to ?:\wamp\bin
Now, the issue is this:
Whenever i start the wamp server with the latest version, it works and the icon turns green. but whenever i try changing/switching back to the old version, all the services starts except the Apache. the icon stays orange and never turns green. whenever i click test port, it tells me your port 80 is not actually used. when i click on install service, i get this message: your port 80 is available, install will proceed. when i select remove service, it removes immediately. when i click start/resume service, nothing happens and it never starts.
What I want to achieve is this:
Some old joomla site were developed on the former wamp 2.1 and each time i tried accessing them via the new wamp 2.5, i see some deprecated functions and it display some chunks of codes. meanwhile, i have two projects that refuse to run on the old wamp 2.1, so i decided to run the 2.5. Presently, the system has wamp 2.5 running.
For 5 days now, i have been cracking my head and i have been stucked.. someone out there should please help me with a solution to run wamp 2.1 and wamp 2.5 together so i can switch version easily. or a probably solution will be appreciated.
Kind Regards !
You were on the right track copying the old Apache MySQL and PHP folders into the new 2.5 version.
Unfortunately switching to very old versions from the new ones is now a bit more hassle than it used to be because of the changes made in the version of compiler used to compile Apache and PHP.
Your old versions of Apache and PHP were compiled with MSVC6 and the new versions with MSVC11 and the 2 are not compatible i.e. an Apache compiled with VC11 wont run with a PHP compiled with VC6 etc.
So try this :-
Switch from Apache 2.4.9 to your old version, it wont start because the PHP version will still be 5.5.12.
Ignore the problem.
Now switch to an old version of PHP, thats compatible with the old Apache.
With luck it will now work.
Check you have the correct version by looking at phpinfo
If it does not come up re-do the switch to the old apache and then again to the old PHP by just re-clicking the version numbers on the relevant switch menu.
To be honest I don't know if it would be possible to restore everything to work fine. I had once similar problems - I had Wampserver and installed new PHP version for WAMP and switched to new PHP version and eveything stopped to work. I tried to change PHP version to the previous one but I had info it's not compatible with Apache and I couldn't change PHP version because of chosen PHP version.
Now I moved to easyPHP and it's much more easier, you can have many PHP versions, there's no problem with changing them.
Probably in your case the problem was not WAMP itself but PHP versions. That's why when you launched your older code you have many warnings. You should simple select older PHP version to do that or you simple have to turn off warning (maybe for other PHP version you had turned off displaying warnings by default?).
If I were you, I would move to easyPHP, dump your databases (if any) and move everything to easyPHP. Probably you won't make your installation of WAMPserver work so the other option is backup everything, dump your databases and reinstall WAMPserver but you can be almost sure similar problem occurs sooner or later when you will be switching between PHP versions.
After alot of brainstorming, I finally resolved the issue all by myself.
Though it may not look wise, but i believe it could go a long way to help others who are stucked in situations like this.
First, I started the wamp 2.5, changed all the versions to the latest ones, which is Apache, Mysql and Php... when the icon turned green, I decided to stop all services, uninstalled the services one after the other. (Apache and mysql) and exit the application by right clicking.
Secondly, I renamed the wamp which encapsulates the 2.5 version to wamp_2.5old and renamed the 2.1 folder back to wamp. i launched the wamp and installed the services back again..this time, it was a lower version. both php and apache had just one version while my sql had two. I made sure the right version of sql was selected and i installed it. I restarted all the services, the icon turned green and all my old website worked.
I tried the method vice-versa and all my latest projects worked. it might look challenging but thats my own way of discovering running multiple version of wamp.
Lastly, thanks to Özgür Eroğlu and Marcin Nabiałek.. they have been of helped.
Pleas help me flag this as useful for research..
vielen gluck.. good luck guys !
I would like to know how to setup XAMPP Server with multiple PHP versions (eg PHP 5.3, 5.2, 5, and 4), I know WAMP can easily do this, But I have problem with a WP Plugin using WAMP. Now if XAMPP can support PHP version, It would make my life easy and organize; Compare to installing both WAMP and XAMPP (that I did last time, before I formated my workstation. Now I wont do that again if I have options).
note: I'm using Windows 7 and installed XAMPP 1.7.3.
Thanks!
im running xammp and on my control panel for it i have a tab that says php version. inside that tab is a button that says "Activate PHP4"

Just wondering if you anybody has had much luck getting XDebug working for Drupal 6.14 on Snow Leopard?
I noticed that Snow Leopard seems to come with php 5.3 which some people say should work with Drupal 6.14, though I haven't had any luck.
After that failed, I tried installing php 5.2 using macports (checking out from CVS at a previous revision number). This works fine for php. However, I have had no such luck getting XDebug going.
Any thoughts???
Thanks!
If xdebug is enabled it should show up if you execute a phpinfo();. After xdebug is configured properly you can connect to it using Netbeans. Download the php version here: NetBeans Download. You will have to create a project and point netbeans to your Drupal install. After that you can set breakpoints and press run.
I created a step by step instruction on how to install and enable Xdebug with Netbeans:

Hope this can also help!
