Fast upgrade for Apache and PHP on Windows.

Do you work on Windows and use manual configured Apache and PHP instances? Do you constantly update your Apache and PHP using:

• PHP : https://windows.php.net/download/ - "php-x.x.xx-xxx-xxxxx-xxxx-xxx.zip"
• Apache : https://www.apachelounge.com/download/ - "httpd-2.4.xx-xxxxxx-xxxx.zip "

This command line tool helps you automate the upgrade process using the Apache/PHP windows installation packages(.zip) as an input and some configuration parameters to point where the current instalations are and various other options.

Edit and change the parameters from fastUpgradeWAP.exe.config accordingly:

• Apache root folder. Mandatory. Trailing "" is needed.

<setting name="APACHE_ROOT" serializeAs="String">
	<value>C:\Path\To\Apache\</value>
</setting>

• PHP root folder. Mandatory. Trailing "" is needed.

<setting name="PHP_ROOT" serializeAs="String">
	<value>C:\Path\To\PHP\</value>
</setting>

• Optional. Comma separated service names (exact unique names, no spaces) that will be stopped before Apache upgrade. Will be re-started at the end.

<setting name="APACHE_RELATED_SERVICES_TO_STOP" serializeAs="String">
	<value>Apache2.4</value>
</setting>

• Optional. Comma separated service names (exact unique names, no spaces) that will be stopped before PHP upgrade. Will be re-started at the end.

<setting name="PHP_RELATED_SERVICES_TO_STOP" serializeAs="String">
	<value />
</setting>

• Optional. Comma separated relative paths(no spaces) inside the current Apache root. Files and folder you would like to keep in the new version (they will be copied). Folders will be renamed on new instalation, if already present (rename to <name>_orig)

<setting name="APACHE_FILES_TO_COPY" serializeAs="String">
	<value>conf,modules\mod_fcgid.so</value>
</setting>

• Optional. Comma separated relative paths(no spaces) inside the current PHP root. Files and folder you would like to keep in the new version (they will be copied). Folders will be renamed on new instalation, if already present (rename to <name>_orig)

<setting name="PHP_FILES_TO_COPY" serializeAs="String">
	<value>php.ini,tmp_sessions,tmp_uploads,ext\php_redis.dll,ext\php_rrd.dll</value>
</setting>
