WampServer

Hi Everybody,

I've just installed wampserver 2.2.22 on a Windows 7 o/s and cannot get it to work.

Can someone help with this?

Details:

1) Icon is in "Hidden Icons List". Displays in Orange

2.) local host displays Windows ISS image

3.) Put Online fails. Error dialog says: "Could not execute menu item"

4.) Apache->services->test port 80 tells me the port is used by Microsoft ISS/7.5

Many thanks.

You need to disable Microsoft IIS

Hi I just had the same problem. What i did was click on the icon then a menu popped up.

Cheers, Bill

Thank you Bill, and Steve.

That is what was hamstringing me. The Microsoft IIS was still active so I went to

Control Panel->Programs->Tirn Program Features On/Off.

Killed ISS

Now wampserver works like a charm, except it requires some sort of password for the phpMyAdmin stuff.

I'm going through a similar problem with passwords. My post is just after yours. It's very frustrating, I am the one that added the password, now it won't let me in.

How did you enter new password?

I haven't seen even that level, just refusals

By clicking on the icon in the tray> Selecting MySQL> then My SQL Console I entered the step outlined in my post into the command prompt. What this does is restrict other users from accessing you DB.

Stop using the command line!

Use phpmyadmin

After adding a password to the 'root' userid you have to tell myphpadmin what you have done, as it uses 'root' to connect to MySQL.

So when you do that again, just edit this file afterward.

edit c:\wamp\apps\phpmyadmin3.x.y\config.inc.php

If you change it to this, when you run phpmyadmin the browser will throw a credentials challenge dialog and you can enter your userid/password.
