WampServer

Hi Zunair,

Thank you for trying to summarize all of this, but I still get the error even with your suggestion. I've combed through this whole forum, have literally done everything and still can't get it to work.

I've also looked at numerous other forums. I've installed Visual C++ (both versions) and then uninstalled and reinstalled WAMP. I've changed the environment PATH and then unchanged it. I've added libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll to the same folder as php_Idap.dll. I've also run WAMP and hit Apache's Version 2.4.9 as the Administrator.

These are all of the sources that I've used and nothing has helped:

[www.devside.net]
[forum.wampserver.com]

[stackoverflow.com]

What is the SYMLINKS? and could you also list what else you did if anything?

This is driving me crazy!!!! Thanks so much.

You do not have to move anything around, I strongly suggest you move everything back or delete copies you made of files into other folders


All you need to do is this :-

left click wampmanager -> Apache -> Version -> 2.4.9
Then click on the 2.4.9 version number or whatever veriosn number has the Green tick on it if you have more than one Apache installed

This will rebuild all the SYMLINKS correctly and restart Apache so it picks up the changes

I have done exactly this and it does not work.

Are you sure you are running WAMPServer in "Run as Administartor" mode?

Okay, I'm following your directions from this link: [forum.wampserver.com] I installed all of the versions of Microsoft Visual C/C++and uninstalled and then reinstalled WAMP.

I followed your directions for running the WANPServer as Administrator.
Now, I can't get into phpMyAdmin. It requires a username and password?

Thanks for responding so quickly.

Ok so I assume yo have got over the previous issue.

Now you have MYSQL and Apache and PHP to learn.


MYSQL comes out of the box with one Username defined in its database. That is `root` and it has no password.

So enter

Username = root
Password = (leave it blank)

Press the Go button

Thanks,the database now works. I created a database called test_database in phpMyAdmin and I no longer get a database error.

I then added my wordpress website to the wamp/www folder and I went through Wordpress's setup. That was successful, but now I'm getting this error in my browser:

You don't have permission to access /wordpress/wp-admin/install.php on this server.

Not sure what "THE NEED for VIRTUAL HOSTS" means. Do I need a virtual host and if so, how should I go about that?

Thanks for the link. I've followed all the directions up to "Now if you take this to its logical extension". I've read this section a few times and it still doesn't make sense to me.

What does this mean?:

Create a folder on the wamp disk or any other disk ( beware of network drive, they are a bit more complicated)

D:
MD websites
CD websites
MD example.com
CD example.com
MD www

and where is the folder mentioned in this sentence?: you now copy your site code to, or start creating it in the \websites\example.com\www folder and define your VHOST like this. Does this just mean the website within the www folder?

Is the VHOST the same as the VHOST from the previous step from the file called httpd-vhosts.conf?

Also, I added this code to the hosts file via Notepad ++ (wordpress is my project1):

127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 wordpress

::1 localhost
::1 wordpress

but it doesn't say whether or not I should keep this existing code or where I should place the above code in relationship to this existing code:

127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 localhost

Thanks for answering my questions and helping me with this. I really appreciate it.

Theses are instructions issued from the command prompt



Switch to the drive you want to put these files on
>D:

Make a directory called websites (for example)
MD websites

switch into that folder as your the current directory websites
CD websites


Make another directory below websites
MD example.com


switch into that folder as your the current directory websites
CD example.com

Make another directory below websites\example.com
MD www


You could do this with Explorer if you prefer




Q: Is the VHOST the same as the VHOST from the previous step from the file called httpd-vhosts.conf?

A: No you would make a new VH if you want a domain put here as well as the others, or use this instead of the others



If you have a bunch of duplicated references to locahost like this
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 localhost
You can delete them, you only need one.

When I try D: in the command prompt, I get an error that says "The Device is not ready."

When I try and access the D: in the command prompt, I get an error message that says: "The device is not ready".

Dont take everything so literally.

The D stands for the D-Drive, if you dont have a D-Drive, then us the C: drive

I set up the Virtual Host and I can see them listed when I view the localhost through the Wamp manager. However, now I get this error:

You don't have permission to access /wp-admin/install.php on this server.

Show us what you have put in your httpd-vhosts.conf file
