1. Can I manually add a release of Apache, PHP or MySQL?
Yes and here's how. Download your favorite relerase on its official site, and put it in the bin directory of WampServer.
For Apache and MySQL, just add a wampserver.conf file inside the release's directory.
See the files delivered wih WampServer tocreate your own wampserver.conf file.
For PHP, also add a php.ini file (used in CLI if necessary) and a phpForApache.ini file (used by Apache) and that's it.





2. Is it possible to have multiple instances of a same release of Apache, MySQL or PHP?
Yes, you just have to rename one of the instances. For example, you can add a letter to the directory name (ex : php5.2.5 et PHP5.2.5b).




3. Where is the php.ini file?
There are many php.ini files in WampServer. First, each release of PHP has 2 php.ini files :
- a file named php.ini used in CLI
- a file named phpForApache.ini used by Apache when the PHP release is active.

A third php.ini file is in the bin directory of the active Apache. This file is a copy of the phpForApache.ini file of the active PHP.
This file is the one used to execute your PHP scripts so make changes to this one if you want to modify you settings without using the WampServer menu.
