Multi-php xampp with wordpress

[ad_1]

Hi, im new to wordpress web dev, can you guys help me out hehe. so im installing xampp with php 8 in my windows and i need to host several wordpress project that worked on php 5.6 while the other ones are using php 7.3.
So i figured out i can install 2 php versions in my xamp, by doing this:
1. have a php version 7.3 in my /xampp folder, then configured the php.ini file to edit the extension\_dir and some other config like this:

2. configure the httpd-xampp-conf to host the php v 7.3 in other port (i set mine to 8073) like this:
\`\`\`

1. ScriptAlias **/**php7\_3**/** “C:/xampp/php7\_3/”
2. **<**Directory “C:/xampp/php7\_3″**>**
3. AllowOverride None
4. Options None
5. Require all denied
6. **<**Files “php-cgi.exe”**>**
7. Require all granted
8. **</**Files**>**
9. **</**Directory**>**
10. Listen 8073
11. **<**VirtualHost **\***:8073**>**
12. UnsetEnv PHPRC
13. **<**FilesMatch “\\.php$”**>**
14. php\_flag engine off
15. SetHandler application**/**x-httpd-php7\_3
16. Action application**/**x-httpd-php7\_3 “/php7\_3/php-cgi.exe”
17. **</**FilesMatch**>**
18. **</**VirtualHost**>\`\`\`**

3. then just like it, i was able to access [http://localhost/dashboard/phpinfo.php](http://localhost/dashboard/phpinfo.php) and [http://localhost:8073/dashboard/phpinfo.php](http://localhost/dashboard/phpinfo.php) and they’re both showing that i have php version 8 and 7.3.

my problem is, i cant open my wordpress project, so running either localhost/my-wordpress or localhost:8073/my-wordpress dont really give me anything except that the browser just keep loading. I really want to put an error log here but i dont know where to look, so im kinda blind here. Anyone know where did i go wrong? Thank you T\_T
