I just installed the Windows 10 Technical Preview, and now I'm trying to install Wamp in order to install Composer on my machine. Yet when I go to use the PHP.exe file from Wamp for Composer, I get the following error:
The PHP exe file you specified did not execute correctly: C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.5.12\php.exe
I've checked the OpenSSL and it's enabled in all three files for Wamp. I've tried installing the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Wamp, but neither work.
When I try to run PHP from command line, it tells me that the php.exe file is missing from my computer.
Has anyone else run into this problem? If so, have you found a solution for it?
Please and thank you.
I have just installed the Windows 10 Tech Preview myself. I see that it does not come with the Microsoft Visual C/C++ runtimes installed by default.
If you did not install the MSVC 2012, 2010 and 2008 runtimes, then I suggest you do that.
Having those runtimes installed and by entering
C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.5.12\php.exe -v
The PHP CLI runs.
If you are still using the 64bit WAMPServer please remember that you need to install the 32bit AND 64bit MSVC runtimes. The wampmanager.exe program is still a 32bit App regardless and therefore needs the 32bit MSVC runtimes. I think it actually only need the MSVC 2008, but it is safer to install all 3 version for both 32 and 64 bit.

Recently I installed XAMPP for doing local development on my Windows 7 machine. I honestly didn't think PHP was installed at all before hand. I installed the latest version of XAMPP and configured for php 5.6.24. I created some virtual hosts and everything seemed to work.
I was having an issue and I needed to confirm which version of PHP I was using so I opened up my command line and typed php -v. For some reason it is reporting I'm using PHP 5.4.25. The exact line is PHP 5.4.25 (cli) (built: Feb 5 2014 21:19:58)
I don't recall using this version (I had Visual Studio Community installed recently, is that related?). I don't understand either why my CLI is reporting one version, when XAMPP supposedly installed another version. Am I missing something? I need to run some gpm commands for the latest version of Grav CMS but when I do it says it required at least 5.5.9.
It is possible to have multiple versions of php installed.
You will want to ensure that you are executing the php-cli that came with XAMPP.
It sounds like you have another version of php installed and is in your PATH so that when you run php that version is loaded.
You can use the where command to find out what file is being loaded.
From the terminal type: where php
I am not a windows guy but there is a which command on linux. Apparently this is the command for windows. Here is a SO post about it:
Is there an equivalent of 'which' on the Windows command line?
Anyways, you may want to remove that php file and possibly create a symbolic link in its place for the XAMPP version of php-cli
If you remove/rename the file and the new php-cli is not in your path, you will probably get an error as the system will not know what php is.
The solution to this is to uninstall all the xampp's that are installed and then fresh install xampp with php version > 7.
Everything should work fine then.
What happened to me was that I had installed xampp two times. One
xampp on my C:// (version 5.6) and one xampp on my D:// (version 7.2)
When I did the command on my D:// xampp
php --version
It took the xampp php version from the C:// instead of the D://.
I have installed WampServer 2.2 on Windows 8.1.
When I try to start WampServer, it shows the following error:
The program can't start because MVSCR110.dll is missing from your computer.
How can I fix this?
MVSCR110.dll references to the Visual C++ 2012 Redistributable, of which you do not have.
The Visual C++ 2012 Redistributable is required for Apache to run. The reason why your Wamp installation is not going online is because Apache is unable to start.
A forum post on the WAMP Server forums deals with this problem with an earlier version of Wamp, to quote:
For Windows 32 : Be sure that you have installed the Visual C++ 2012
SP1 Redistributable Package x86 : VC12 SP1 vcredist_x86.exe
For Windows 64 : Be sure that you have installed the Visual C++ 2012
SP1 Redistributable Package x64 : VC12 SP1 vcredist_x64.exe
Apache will not run without this component
In fact if you are running the 64bit Windows it is a good idea to
install all the 32bit libraries as well as the 64bit ones. After all
64bit windows runs 64 and 32 bit code. You will probably find you need
at least one of the 32bit runtimes for some app/utility you will
install at some point.
Some users have also said that installing the Redistributable for their processor type isn't enough, so it may be a good idea to install both x64 and x86 versions.
WampServer versions b and later require the VC++ 2012 version, which can be downloaded here.
As far as I remember Windows 8.1 comes (out of the box, so to speak) with only one of Microsofts Visual C++ runtimes installed.
It seems a little odd that you are getting the message you claim if you are in fact using WAMPServer 2.2(a,c,d,or e)
The program can't start because MVSCR110.dll is missing from your
computer.
As as far as I am aware nothing delivered by any of the WAMPServer 2.2 releases i.e. 2.2a, 2.2c, 2.2d, 2.2e were compiled with MSVC 2012. In fact as stated on the download pages on SourceForge
Attention : All the components of the v2.2 WampServer stack have been compiled with VC9 version of Microsoft compiler. Earlier versions of Wampserver have been made with VC6 version of Microsoft compiler. So, You can't mix components of 2.2 stack with previous version of Wampserver Stack components. If you do it you will get an instable Wampserver.
However, if that is in fact the error you are getting after installing WAMPServer 2.2, then that message is saying that you need to install the MSVC 2012 runtime library.
Which can be downloaded from here.
You will also need to make sure that you have the MSVC 2008 runtime library installed as well, as wampmanager.exe is an old program as has not needed to be recompiled for a while now which can be downloaded from here
This runtime will also be required to run Apache and MySQL executables if you did in fact install WAMPServer 2.2.something
Oh and if you are using a 64bit WAMPServer, you will need to download and install the 32bit AND the 64bit version of the MSVC 2008 runtime library, as wampmanager.exe is a 32bit program even if you have installed the 64bit version of WAMPServer and of course the Apache and MySQL will need the 64bit libraries.
If this does not fix your issue, then have a look at the Windows Event Log
Windows Key + R to launch the run dialog then enter eventvwr.exe and press the OK button
- On the left side of the windows click 'Windows Logs -> Applications'
- Look for the names 'Apache' or 'MySQL' in the 'Source' column which have a error symbol in the first column.
The error messages sent here are normally very descriptive and should at least point you in the right direction to solving your problem.
when you migrate to windows 8.1, MVSCR110.dll is outdated. then, it should be updated and installed into your PC again.
I am using magic library to change the resolution of the images. But I am getting following error when I am running the Wamp.
I am also sharing links of the website I have followed.
Link
http://www.zoharbabin.com/5-steps-to-get-imagemagick-on-xampp-1-7-3/
These are step by step instructions on how to get ImageMagick running under PHP in a Windows environment. Apache does not provide binaries for Windows and relies upon several sources to do so:
XAMPP
WampServer
Apache Lounge
Bitnami
Apache Haus
It is recommended to download either the XAMPP or WampServer distributions as they are complete packages that contain Apache HTTP server, PHP and MySql known and tested to work together.
Making ImageMagick work was not easy for me. It took two days of trial and error to get this to work. Hopefully this will help you get up and running faster. I have this running on the following:
Windows 7 Home Edition 64-bit
XAMPP 5.6.3
Apache HTTP 2.4.10 (Win32), VC 11
PHP 5.6.3 x86 VC 11, Thread safe
Thus, a 32-bit web framework compiled with VC 11 and thread safety enabled all running on 64-bit Windows 7. You must choose a 32-bit ImageMagick DLL distribution along with a 32-bit VC11 thread safe DLL wrapper to match.
The instructions below should work equally well with WampServer as there is no dependency on the Windows web framework.
The important thing to understand here is that you must know your web server environment and what components are installed and built with. you must match bitness, Visual C runtime, and thread safety configurations together.
Step #1: Install imageMagick to C:\ImageMagick
Go to Link and download the latest release. Use the 32 bit DLL version (ImageMagick-6.9.0.0-Q16-x86-dll.exe)
Install it into C:\ImageMagick directory
Step #2: Get the PHP wrapper from the Windows PECL repository
Go to http://pecl.php.net/package/imagick
Get the latest stable version, 3.1.2. You want the 32-bit, VC 11, thread safe version
php_imagick-3.1.2-5.6-ts-vc11-x86.zip
Step #3: Create distribution directory
Create a /php/ext/imagemagick directory
Copy the ZIP into it and unzip it
Step #4: Make backup copy of DLLs
Make a C:\ImageMagick\Backup directory
Copy DLLs in the C:\ImageMagick directory to the C:\ImageMagick\Backup directory
Step #5: Overwrite DLLs
This is the most important step that if you don't do, will result in the PHP wrapper not loading correctly:
Take all the DLL files in \php\ext\ImageMagick and overwrite those in C:\ImageMagick
If you do a SET on the DOS command line you will see that the ImageMagick installer had created a entry into the system variable environment path (i.e. to C:\ImageMagick). Supporting DLLs will be picked up from there and they will be the Pecl Windows repository DLLs, not the distribution.
Step #6: Set module extension in PHP.INI
First, copy the php extension wrapper php_imagick.dll into the /php/ext directory. Then modify the PHP.INI to do this:
extension=php_imagick.dll
Step #7: Reboot Apache
Reboot Apache
Go to phpinfo and see that imagick is installed as a module.
Here's where you can learn more about your environment.
Pay attention to stuff in phpinfo like:
Compiler: MSVC11 (Visual C++ 2012)
Architecture: x86 (32 bit; as opposed to x64 which is 64 bit)
Thread safety: enabled (TS)
Apache Environment Configuration (PATH should have C:\ImageMagick included)
More gory details: Installing ImageMagick with PHP and Windows
I'm running on php 5.2.6 on my development server and need to install phpMyAdmin. However, when I install phpMyAdmin, it updates my php to 5.3.x and that causes my website to break... Been looking online but haven't found anything that will install phpMyAdmin but leave alone the php version.
Anyone know how to install phpMyAdmin without upgrading php automatically? Leave php version alone, just install the phpMyAdmin on Linux Fedora 14.
You can just download it from here. Don't use yum to install this package.
How can I install APC on Windows? I am using PHP 5.3, Windows 7 x64.
I used
pecl install apc
I got
C:\PHP>pecl install apc
downloading APC-3.0.19.tgz ...
Starting to download APC-3.0.19.tgz (115,735 bytes) ............
done: 115,735 bytes 47 source files, building
WARNING: php_bin c:\php\php.exe appears to have a suffix \php.exe, but config
variable php_suffix does not match running: msdev APC.dsp /MAKE "APC - Release"
ERROR: Did not understand the completion status returned from msdev.exe.
Installing an extension with the pecl command means :
downloading the sources
compiling them
And, generally speaking, a windows machine doesn't have what's required to compile software like PHP and/or PHP extensions.
A better / easier solution, in your case, would probably be to find a pre-compiled .dll of the extension, that matches your system and your version of PHP.
With a bit of luck, maybe one of the versions provided on http://downloads.php.net/pierre/ could be OK ?
(It's what kind of acts as replacement of the old pecl4win, until the extensions for windows are available on windows.php.net)
For more informations about which version you should use, take a look at the Which version do I choose? section, in the left side-bar of http://windows.php.net/
It is not really important, whether you are running Windows 32-bit or 64-bit version. What matters is what Apache (webserver) version you have installed (32/64). Since lots of PHP extensions (like APC) are not available for 64-bit systems, most common setup is as follows:
Operating system 32 or 64-bit (not really important). Apache 32-bit will run easily on Windows 64-bit. The difference is, that for 32-bit apache you MUST install PHP 32-bit. Once you install 64-bit PHP, you may find difficult to install some extensions - there are almost no extensions available for 64-bit PHP platform.
therefore your webserver should be 32-bit if you care about special extensions, like APC, Imagick etc... Also you need to know if your apache is thread safe (TS) or not thread safe (NTS) and whether it has been compiled in Visual Studio 6 (VC6) or newser Visual Studio 2008 (VC9). You will easily find all this info from phpinfo() function.
as for the APC, some nice compilation for Windows are available from http://dev.freshsite.pl/php-accelerators/apc.html.
For php 5.3 you use php.net/pierre/php_apc-3.1.10-5.3-vc9-x86.zip.
Download it and copy php_apc.dll to your php ext directory. (I choose the file under ts I have thread safe php installation. There is also an apc dll file for non thread safe.)
Add extension=php_apc.dll into your php.ini file
Restart your web server
Run phpinfo() to see if it's installed or not.
I am using php 5.4 and I downloaded php.net/pierre/php_apc-3.1.10-5.4-vc9-x86.zip and its working fine.
Hope this will help mate.Good luck.
Also, make sure that the compiled version from here http://downloads.php.net/pierre/
matches your php version, otherwise the extension will not load (php v. 5.2.17 requires php_apc.dll v 5.2.17.17 - which doesn't seem to be available as of this writing - I had to downgrade the php version to play with apc).
Another point, pierre's zip packages, at least the one I downloaded, did not include the management script. you can get it from here: http://pecl.php.net/package/APC - select the version you downloaded, then navigate to Browse Source, then find your version in the 'tags' folder. the apc.php script should be there.
There's no available version for php > 5.4.
I'm using APCu instead. Just download the dll and reference it in php.ini.
This website offers updated dll and installers for Apache, PHP and APC compiled to work on windows 64 bit. I've been using it for a while and it works fine. You could an APC version compatible with PHP 5.3.22 here
