Xampp php 8.0 upgrade#
I just upgrade my old XAMPP portable with PHP 5.3.X(Include Mercury & FileZilla & Tomcat) to XAMPP portable with PHP 5.6.X ( Include previous versions ). I made this post kind of long-winded, but that's because I like to write for the people that don't know exactly what they're doing yet (I, myself, was there not too long ago (all of us were at some point)).Ģ) Import into your new installation of XAMPP Do each of your databases separately to ensure it works. But, I've never had much luck getting it to import correctly. NOTE: There's an option to export the entire collection of databases (it names the file 127.0.0.1.sql). Click on choose file, find the sql file that you exported earlier (should be 'test.sql') and import. Now, go into 'test' and hit the import button along the top (right next to the export button). Example: you have a database named 'test' that you exported from your old installation, name the new, empty database the same thing. Now, in the new version of XAMPP, create the databases that you want to re-insert. Export them as sql (or whatever, really - just remember what you chose). Simply go to each of your databases and click on the export tab at the top. I don't have enough reputation to comment yet, but, to add to ssharma's answer:Īfter you copy your htdocs folder to a safe place, just export your databases from PHPmyadmin. NOTE: there are two directories to be updated with new version of files, namely php sub-directory and apache/bin sub-directory, inside XAMPP installation. This is necessary because by XAMPP uses Apache version 2.2 and the files with the 2 prefix are built for Apache 2.0, so you must take the files build for the newer version (which has a different plugin interface) and rename them in the filenames XAMPP expects.
