i have xampp 8.2.12 y php 8.3.1.I need to update xampp since an error was generated, so I entered xampp conf/apache and changed the number to generate the update, but the error was worse. Now Apache doesn't start and they tell me that it is probably due to some kind of permissions problem |

Duplicate the PHP folder, change the name of the copy to PHP_old, open the PHP folder. Download the new version of PHP, extract it to a folder, select all the files and paste it into the XAMPP PHP folder, choose the option to overwrite duplicate files and that's it, it will work normally. |

XAMPP might not have a specific version that directly supports PHP 8.3.1. However, you can try updating XAMPP by manually replacing the PHP version with a newer one. |

that doesn't work because it doesn't recognize the extensions. |

Before making any changes, it's always a good idea to backup your important files and databases to avoid data loss. Visit the official PHP website (https://www.php.net/downloads.php) and download the Windows version of PHP 8.3.1. |

this method creates a new problem, the new downloaded php version from its official site for some reason doesn't have the php.ini |

True, Apache is refusing to start saying it has a conflict with port 80 even though old Apache was running on port 80. My guess is my path environment. I set my path environment for Windows to go directly through Xampp to access php my guess is this is the problem but I'm unsure how to solve it |

Make sure XAMPP is not running. You can stop the Apache and MySQL services from the XAMPP Control Panel. Go to the XAMPP installation directory and navigate to the php folder. Rename the existing php folder to something like php_backup. Then, copy the contents of the PHP 8.3.1 folder that you downloaded into the XAMPP php folder. |

Hi folks. Here is another thread, with instructions on how to update XAMPP manually: However, if updating XAMPP manually from PHP 8.2 to PHP 8.3 seems too complicated and you won't succeed with that, you can also try XL / XAMPP Lite. There are versions that already includes PHP 8.3. However, it only has the web server, PHP, and the database engine. If that's enough for you, give it a try. It should be suitable for many use cases. So no FileZilla, no Mercury, no Tomcat; I think these add-ons are also often irrelevant, especially for beginners. Have fun! q:D |
