I tried to upgrade Joomla version from 3.3.6 to 3.4.1 which ended up in "could not open joomlaupdate.xml for writing" error. I had to upgrade php from version 5.3 to 5.5 which ended up in the https site not working.http site works fine.Now I've downgraded to 5.3 and still the same issue. I have my site configured in Amazon AWS. I see that openssl is enabled in my php configuration.Need help in solving the issue
All the httpd configurations have been overwritten.Had to recopy the configurations and restart the service and everything was fine.

I have a web server running on virtual machine Debian 10 (Buster)
I need to upgrade the PHP 7.0.33 to PHP 7.1 or higher, and as you know, debian buster already has PHP 7.3 ready to be installed.
the problem is when i try to sudo apt-get install php7.3-cli or any other php extension it asks me to remove local custome packages which are essential for the web server becase they depends on the old php version.
I tried to do sudo apt-mark hold <custom_package>, but it is still asking me to remove them and preventing me from upgrading/installing the new php version.
How to fix this issue?
Am i doing something wrong?
the reason for upgrading the php is that the upgraded version of web server content requires php version to be 7.1 or higher, i even tried to neglect this platform check, the web server worked but with issues which make the server unfuntional.
Sorry, i'm new to this and just trying to resolve the problem.
Regards,
I'm running Uwamp server under windows7 and it works perfectly with php versions from 5.5 to 7.0.3 and with curl enabled.
When I switch to php 7.2, 7.3 or latest 7.4.3 uwamp server still working - but without curl.
php_curl.dll file is enabled under extensions (ext) but phpinfo() confirms that curl extension is missing / not enabled. I compared php.ini with previous php versions, modified it but it still doesn't work.
cURL is NOT installed on this server
I have testet xampp and this server has no problem with curl and php 7.3/7.4. I compared php.ini etc. but curl extension still not working under Uwamp.
It seems that the author of the project has abandoned it, because there have been no updates or activities since many years. Maybe someone using it and can help me to solve it.
Any idea would be greatly appreciated!
finally got a working solution for this problem of uwamp and running an up to date version of php and getting curl working.
I have sat here for a couple of days trying to work why you couldn't get a later version of php 7.0.3 without breaking uwamp and curl. So I learnt how to integrate and test php apache as standalones and then working on updating uwamp. Lots of head scratching of working out how uwamp uses its on the fly configuration setup.
I will list all the steps to update your version of uwamp (to apache 4.2 and php 7.4.4 as of Mar 2020)
Download uwamp (portable or installer)
Download c++ runtime https://aka.ms/vs/16/release/VC_redist.x86.exe (taken from the windows php page)
Install the runtime above
Install uwamp to a directory (in this example will just use c:\ making it install to c:\uwamp after expanding)
Before running uwamp
Goto to apache lounge website and download the latest 32 build of apache (4.2)
https://www.apachelounge.com/download/VS16/binaries/httpd-2.4.41-win32-VS16.zip
Expand this archive, it should create a folder called apache2.4
Step in to this directory and copy all the files and paste them here in your uwamp folder (c:\uwamp\bin\apache). This should overwrite all the apache files and add the latest apachephp dll
TIP. Just make sure you havent expanded the apache2.4 zip in the uwamp apache folder, easy to tell as you will see a apache24 appear
Goto to php.net and download the latest THREAD SAFE version of php (7.4.4)
https://windows.php.net/downloads/releases/php-7.4.4-Win32-vc15-x86.zip
Extract the php zip this folder in to the c:\uwamp\bin\php in to a new folder with name of php-7.4.4 (so the files should be in c:\uwamp\bin\php\php-7.4.4)
There you are, you have completed your manual upgrade of uwamp , run uwamp and if no errors appear with in the GUI, everything should be working. Test by opening a browser and use http://localhost/uwamp/phpinfo or http://127.0.0.1/uwamp/phpinfo or click the "phpinfo button" in the uwamp GUI
This way seems to allowed an upgrade of uwamp (except sql) but resolve a common problem of php and curl not working / breaking.
This works for x86 version installed on a 32/64 bit system.
Still trying to work out the kinks for uwamp to be running 64 bit apache and php but should be possible.
Try and delete the version of PHP that is affected by the missing Curl extension and then re-download the version from inside the AWamp interface. I have had similar problems with other extensions and have solved it this way.
I replaced my 2.1 version of WampServer with the 3.1.4 64 bit version. Everything worked after the installation. But I need to have php 5.4 and that doesn't come with this version of WS. So I downloaded that version, made the changes to the various files as mentioned here and other places. But when I switch to 5.4 it doesn't start.
I ran the "Check State of Services" tool and it said this
State of services:
The service 'wampapache64' is NOT started EXIT error code:1066 Help
message for error code 1066 is: The service has returned a
service-specific error code.
The service 'wampmysqld64' is started
The service 'wampmariadb64' is started
The service 'dnscache' is started
WampServer (Apache, PHP and MySQL) will not function properly if any
service 'wampapache64' 'wampmysqld64' 'wampmariadb64' 'dnscache' is
not started.
And the "Check http.conf" tool said
httpd.exe: Syntax error on line 195 of
C:/wamp64/bin/apache/apache2.4.35/conf/ht tpd.conf: Cannot load
c:/wamp64/bin/php/php-5.4.9/php5apache2_4.dll into server: %1 is not
a valid Win32 application.
And line 195 of that file is
LoadModule php5_module
"${INSTALL_DIR}/bin/php/php-5.4.9/php5apache2_4.dll"
Is it failing because the dll file is for the wrong version or do to something else? I've tried to locate a php5apache2_4.dll file for 32 bit but I couldn't find one.
I've spent most of the weekend on this and if I can't get it going I will need to go back to my previous version since I work on more sites using 5.4 than later versions. I hope I don't have to do that.
If you are using WAMPServer 3 or greater then there are a multitude of versions of PHP that can be downloaded as ADDONS. In other words installed into WAMPServer with a simple download and click to install.
I suggest you remove the manually installed version of PHP and use the provided downloads.
They are available from SourceForgce, but they are a LOT EASIER to find on the WAMPServer backup repo
It looks like you may need to use the 32bit WAMPServer 3.1.4 as there does not appear to be a 64bit PHP5.4 available in the ADDON list.
You may also find that you need to download an older version of Apache to get PHP5.4 to run as Apache and PHP have to be installed to versions that are compatibly compiled.
But with WAMPServer 3 there are 16 versions of Apache and 50 or so versions of PHP.
EDIT: In answer to your comment
If you uninstall the 64bit WAMPServer (after backing up site code and any databases) and install the 32bit WAMPServer V3.1.4.
The version of Apache i.e. V2.4.35 that comes with WAMPServer3.1.4 will run PHP5.4.45. So once you have WAMPServer 3.1.4 installed and working (check it works before continuing) you can download and install the ADDON for PHP5.4.45
Then using the wampmanager menu, switch to PHP5.4.45.
The version of MySQL is not directly link to Apache/PHP so the version that comes with WAMPServer V3.1.4 will work just fine.
It would also be a good idea to apply the WAMPServer 3.1.5 upgrade to WAMPServer 3.1.4 so you are totoally upto date with WAMPServer
I have Apache version 2.2.22 and PHP 5.3.13. When I try to install Magento it just keeps telling me that curl must be loaded. I have tried to troubleshoot the problem but nothing has solved it. I've done the following:
uncomment php_curl.dll in php.ini file (both in php/ext and the apache/bin folders)
When that didn't work I downloaded two versions of php_ curl fix files (5.3.13 and 5.4.3) and used each to replace the original php_curl.dll file in php/ext.
With 5.4.3 I got the error message that "curl failed to start because the side-by-side configuration is incorrect". Now the 5.3.13 version is in the folder but I get two error messages "Program can't start because php5.dll is missing from your computer" and "ext/php_curl.dll - the specified module could not be found'.
Could someone give me further advice, because at this point I'm clueless on what to do next? I am using wampserver 2.2 and Windows 7.
It seems that more people are having this problem - php_curl.dll is badly compiled and doesn't work under Win7/8 64-bit versions.
I found this topic in official Wamp Server forums and it looks like people provided some answers there:
Wamp Server 2.2 Windows 7 64-bit and curl not working side-by-side configuration incorrect
Update your PHP version to 7.0 or higher.
They have fix the php-curl in >7.0 version see the artical php Chang log
I recently installed APC on my dedicated server, and now my site's CSS is not being read at all. Or so I think because the site has no styling.
Any ideas how I can fix this?
The site has the following installed:
APC 3.1.9 - PHP 5.4.10 - CENTOS 5.9 x86_6 - WHM 11.34.1. (Build 7) - cPanel of the same version as WHM - Perl Version 5.8.8 - mod_fcgid 2.3.6 - SocialEngine 4.2.5
Any feedback is very welcome
So I enabled suEXEC, graceful restarted the server and that solved the problem. Just writing this in case someone else has the same issue happening to them.
