WAMPServer 3 All you need to know

Wampserver does not work on a FAT32 or exFAT drive. It only works on NTFS disk.

WAMPServer 3 will not run on Windows XP, by virtue of it containing Apache2.4.17+ and that requiring Microsoft Visual C/C++ Redistributable 2015 (VC14) which will not install on Windows XP.

No MSVC runtimes greater than Microsoft Visual C/C++ Redistributable 2010 (VC10) will install on Windows XP

Components installed with Wampserver 3.1.0 32 bit or 64 bit
– Apache 2.4.27 – PHP 5.6.31/7.0.23/7.1.9 – MySQL 5.7.19 – MariaDB 10.2.8
– PhpMyAdmin 4.7.4 – Adminer 4.3.1 – PhpSysInfo 3.2.7

Before running the install, you must read these prerequisites:
BEFORE proceeding with the installation of Wampserver, you must ensure that you have current versions of all these Microsoft C/C++ Runtime Libraries, if you do not check and install any missing libraries before you install Wampserver it will not install correctly and will not run correctly!
In addition, the installation will be faulty and you will need to remove Wampserver BEFORE installing any missing Runtime Libraries. and then re-install WAMPServer

— Make sure your system has “up to date” versions of ALL these redistributable packages:-
— Microsoft Visual C/C++ Redistributable 2008 (VC9),
— Microsoft Visual C/C++ Redistributable 2010 (VC10),
— Microsoft Visual C/C++ Redistributable 2012 (VC11),
— Microsoft Visual C/C++ Redistributable 2013 (VC13),
— Microsoft Visual C/C++ Redistributable 2015 (VC14),
— Microsoft Visual C/C++ Redistributable 2017 (VC15)

If you are running WIndow pre windows 10, and you are running a component that uses Apache/Mysql/PHP compiled with MSVC 2015(VC14) you will also need to install the `Universal C Runtime` This can be download via the standard Windows Update according to this document on the microsoft site

—- Update for Universal C Runtime in Windows

Links to all these redistributables can be found later in this post to assist you in finding and installing them.
Suggestion: Please download each one individually and then complete it’s install before downloading the next. The filenames of the downloaded installers are almost always the same regardless of version, it is easy to get confused and miss one out.
Check in `Control Panel -> Programs and Features` that they are all installed before proceeding to install WAMPServer.

— Do not install Wampserver OVER an existing version

If you install Wampserver over an existing version, not only it will not work, but you risk losing your existing databases.

— Install Wampserver in a folder at the root of a disk, for example `C:\wamp` or `D:\wamp`.
Use an installation path that does not include spaces or diacritics; Therefore, no installation in `c:\Program Files\` or `C:\Program Files (x86)\`

— You must disable or close some applications BEFORE installing:

– Close Skype or amend the SKYPE configuration to not to use port 80 or 443
– Disable IIS Item No. 08 of the Wampserver

If these prerequisites are not in place, Press the Cancel button to cancel the installation, then apply the prerequisites and restart the installation.

— Visual C++ Packages —
The following packages (VC9, VC10, VC11) are required for Wampserver 2.4, 2.5 and 3 even if you use only Apache and PHP versions VC11.
VC14 is required for Apache version 2.4.17 (or greater) and for PHP 7.

————- PHP 7.1.9: Fault Correction ————-
XDebug load fault present only in the PHP version 7.1.9 installed with Wampserver 3.1.0 and not in the PHP 7.1.9 addon.
– Launch Wampserver
– Check that the PHP version used is 7.1.9, otherwise switch to this version
– Edit the php.ini file
— Left-Clic Wampmanager tray icon -> PHP -> php.ini
– Replace (towards the end of the file):
zend_extension=”c:/wamp/bin/php/php7.1.9/zend_ext/php_xdebug-2.5.5-7.0-vc14.dll”
– by
zend_extension=”c:/wamp/bin/php/php7.1.9/zend_ext/php_xdebug-2.5.5-7.1-vc14.dll”
Consider the installation path that may be different from c:/wamp/
Save the modified file
– Refresh Wampserver:

Important Reminder: The transfer of databases between different versions of MySQL or MariaDB should be performed by EXPORT / IMPORT of SQL files using phpMyAdmin or a similiar tools of your choice.
Do not copy the data folder between different versions of MYSQL. Databases from different versions of MYSQL are VERY unlikely to be compatible! You will also destroy the version of MYSQL that you copied the data folder to.
