The solution was to 1 - download easyphp sever 32 bit and apache2443vc15x86x250213064314 2 - PHP 8 from easyphp 32 bit

edit the PHP.ini file in the PHP 8 server and set the URL

extension_dir = "D:\000_WORK\EasyPHP-Devserver-17\eds-binaries\php\php833vs16x86x250213064440\ext"

3 - make the PHP read only so it does not get modified afterwards

4 - somehow go to the server folder of the database used and launch every single exe file that is in there as an administrator and then restart the machine.
