What are the potential problems that may occur when using PHP 5.3.6 with VC6 compiled by Apache?

Question

Firstly, I cross-host this with a Server Error because I did not receive any responses there. If this is against the rules, I apologize.

What problems can (should) I expect if I have to install 5.3.6 (VC9 only) with a compiled version of Apache Apache? Vc6?

Answer 1

Sorry, no personal experience, but this ServerFault article gives some tips. The problems that may arise are described in this answer .

This installation description may also be helpful.

Answer 2

In my experience, this is not a problem at all. I had such a fine-tuning, deployed on production sites several times (where I did not manage the server) and the released projects without problems.

Answer 3

Just got this :

i tried the VC-9 version of PHP 5.3.6 with the "Unofficial WampServer Version 2.0j-32bit" and it works! in the phpinfo there is a line "Compiler MSVC9 (Visual C++ 2008)" so it is really the vc9 version working. the unofficial wampserver (pampserver) can be downloaded here: [sourceforge.net] home page: www.pampserver.com for those who want to add the php 5.3.6 version to the pampserver, do this: 0) at first, stop wampserver and make sure it is not running 1) download this [windows.php.net] 2) in "c:\wamp\bin\php\" create a folder "php5.3.6" and extract the downloaded zip file into this folder 3) in any folder with the previous version of php 5.3, find files "php.ini" , "phpForApache.ini" and "wampserver.conf" (eg. in the folder "c:\wamp\bin\php\php5.3.3\" ) 4) copy these 3 files into the new "c:\wamp\bin\php\php5.3.6\" folder 5) now in the new "c:\wamp\bin\php\php5.3.6\" folder, find files "php.ini" and "phpForApache.ini" and open both files in any text editor 6) replace all occurences of "5.3.3" (or the version number you copied those files from) with "5.3.6" and save 7) go to the "c:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.2.17\bin\" folder and delete file "php.ini" 8) start wampserver and in the menu PHP -> Version select 5.3.6 9) voila! now you can open your localhost and see the phpinfo() page and check out the php version
