Wamp server not turning to green after changing php version

Question

I recently upgrade wamp-php from php 5.5.12 to php 5.6.26. I downloaded php 5.6.26 and kept in bin\\php . To upgrade from old one to new one, I copied php.ini , phpForApache.ini and wampserver.conf files from old versions to new. Then made the path changes in both files. Now there are both versions of php on my wamp.

But when I change the version to php 5.6.26 by click on wamp tray icon, it is not turning green, also not working. It is working with old version fine.

Answer 1

Please check php.ini in apache\\bin folder and also check new php path mentioned in "Environment variables" of "Advanced" tab of "System Properties".

If it's still not work, check Is you apache is working correctly after doing the changes, sometimes apache stopped working because of some configuration failures. And also verify is your php version you have downloaded is compiled by using the same VC++ version that you are using.?
