Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=50583&edit=1 ID: 50583 Updated by: pajoye@php.net Reported by: ksingla at microsoft dot com Summary: PHP Installer needs to support side by side installlation of 5.2 and 5.3 version -Status: Assigned +Status: Wont fix Type: Bug Package: Windows Installer Operating System: Windows PHP Version: 5.3.1 Assigned To: pajoye Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: installer is not supported anymore in 5.3 and later. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-04-16 10:59:40] pajoye@php.net This plan can only partially work for what we described and need. That's not what we can or will implement. Taking the hand over that one. I will discuss with John about the possible solutions and get them into our roadmap. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-04-15 20:47:37] ruslany@php.net The proposed plan for enabling this is described below: 1. Choose different upgrade codes for PHP 5.2, PHP 5.3 and PHP 6.0 2. Use folder php52, php53 or php60 under %programfiles% for copying files instead of fixed one %programfiles%\php. 3. Use different registry paths for different versions. 4. Do not set PHPRC environment variable at system level. This is required to make different versions of PHP pick different php.ini in a SxS environment for non-FastCGI SAPI's. This request is tracked by a separate bug: http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51536. 5. Add detection mechanism to detect if other versions are installed. If so, show a warning message telling people to uninstall and then install if they don't want SxS install. Also say that php.ini configuration of other version won't be picked when SxS is happening. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-03-25 18:53:48] jmertic@php.net Currently assessing whether we can do this across all SAPIs or not. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-01-21 21:21:15] ruslany at microsoft dot com In addition to that it would be nice if PHP installer allowed user to choose whether to upgrade an existing PHP installation or install a new version side by side. For example, on the very first page of the installer there can be options presented: 1. Upgrade existing installation 2. Install side-by-side and make this a default version 3. Install side-by-side but keep existing version as a default. In case of installing on IIS that would mean: In #1 the installer will upgrade the PHP installation as it does today. In #2 the installer will install binaries into a new folder and then configure FastCGI handler mapping on a server level and make it the top in the handler mapping list so that it is used by all sites. In #3 the installer will install binaries into a new folder, configure FastCGI handler mapping, but will not re-order the existing FastCGI handler mapping so that previosly installed PHP vesion is still used. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-12-26 23:28:17] ksingla at microsoft dot com Description: ------------ In order to support side-by-side installation of PHP 5.2 and 5.3 by Microsoft Web Platform Installer, PHP installer needs to support side by side setup. To get to a version specific installation, I think following changes will be required a. Currently, PHP is installed to %PROGRAMFILES(X86)%\PHP or %PROGRAMFILES%\PHP. This should change to %PROGRAMFILES(X86)%\PHP\<version> or %PROGRAMFILES%\PHP\<version> b. Currently PHP sets the following registry keys: i. HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\PHP on 64-bit systems. ii. HKLM\SOFTWARE\PHP on 32-bit systemsc. Change the registry keys to: i. HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\PHP\<version> on 64-bit systems. ii. HKLM\SOFTWARE\PHP on 32-bit systems\<version>d. Set an environment variable called PHPLOC with the path to the latest installed PHP c. When IIS-FastCGI install is selected, installer should let users add the PHP handler at site or application level as well so that a particular PHP version can be used for that site or application. Currently the handler is always added at the server level. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=50583&edit=1
