Could not execute menu item (internal error)[Exception] - When changing PHP version from 5.3.1 to 5.2.9

Question

I have installed two PHP versions in my WAMP server. When I am using 5.3.10, my wamp server is running just fine. But when I switch to older version of PHP (5.2.9) my wamp server tray icon is showing orange icon. If you click on Put Online I am getting following error.

I tried to change the port in httpd.conf to 8855 and still I am getting same error. How can I resolve this error?

By default , the WAMP server will take 80 as its working port.

You can change that port number as you like ... here are the steps to do that:

• click on WAMP server tray icon
• click on apache
• select http.conf

Here notepad will open ...

• scroll down and you will see the port number that WAMP server takes ...

• change that port number to:

  #Listen x.x.x.x:8080
  Listen 8080
  

• save that file and restart the services... it will work fine...

• now check by typing http://localhost:8080/.
