This article covers switching version of PHP, MySQL or Apache in single machine.
- Export selected database using phpMyAdmin
- Stop XAMPP by clicking
xampp/xampp_stop.exe - Rename xampp folder, i.e
prev-xampp - Install new XAMPP version to current directory, download here. The installation should be have the same directory structure as previous version, so we don’t need to adjust system variables anymore.
- Copy the WordPress install from
prev-xampp/htdocs/and paste toxampp/htdocs/
- Go to phpMyAdmin and create new database with the same name as previous. Open the new create database and import previous database.
