Apache, PHP and MySQL - Installing and Configuring

PAY ATENTION

You must upgrade the Server with the latest versions of its components.

For this, we will explain how to upgrade:

Apache 2.4.XX 64bit (VS16) Server

Will be upgrade running on port 80 by default, however, in the future, you should have another option installed to run on port 81.

This will be seen later in this tutorial

and

PHP 7.4.XX (VS15) 64bit

To run under the current Apache Server installation on port 80.

or

PHP 8.0.XX (VS16) 64bit

To run under the future Apache Server installation on port 81.

This will be seen later in this tutorial

and

MySQL Community Server 8.0. XX 64bit

Checking PHP

In this tutorial we had the PHP version installed:

7.4.7 - VC15 x64 Thread Safe (2020-Jun-09 17:07:54)

However, there was a warning that there might be a newer version to be installed.

To perform the update, the same warning continues, only now, under a new condition.

The downloadable version, therefore, is still:

VC15 x64 Thread Safe

To upgrade PHP, you must first download PHP directly from the site, for this you must click on the link below.

When downloading it, pay maximum attention not to download the wrong version.

You must download - now - a version higher than 7.4.XX object of this tutorial.

Save the dowloaded file:

to

H:/WEB/temp

Checking Apache Server

This tutorial installed, as an example, the following version of Apache Server:

2.4.46 - Apache 2.4.46 Win64 10 Dec '20 10.419k

Your version can be equal to or greater than this.

To perform the upgrade, a newer, more recent version must be available.

Apache 2.4.XX Win64

To check if there is a newer version of the Apache Server, click the link below:

Save the dowloaded file:

httpd-2.4.XX-win64-VS16.zip

to

H:/WEB/temp

Checking MySQL Community Server

This tutorial installed, as an example, the following version of MySQL Community Server is:

8.0.20 - MySQL Community Server 8.0.20

To perform the upgrade, a newer, more recent version must be available.

MySQL 8.0.XX Win64

To check if there is a newer version of the MySQL Community Server, click the link below:

Save the dowloaded file:

At this point, we have the basics to proceed to the next step that deals with the upgrade of the Server system.

The procedures for upgrading the PHP system will be seen below.
