WampServer

Have installed Wamp and using it to run TNG The Next Generation from /www/index.php . Before was running MoWes but product is discontinued. I was able to load into the application with 1 click before. It's a minor thing, but now need to start Wamp, then open it and select 'localhost' to run. This is two steps. Anyway to make this work with in 1 step?

Hi,

You must use VirtualHost: [forum.wampserver.com]

Thanks, but a bit overwhelmed by the length of that discussion. All I wish to do is execute www/index.php on Wamp startup and save one step in loading the application.

Good things are worth. If you do not apply the use of VirtualHost, you may have strongly problems thereafter.
Nevertheless, because it is independent of VirtualHost, here is how to get the automatic opening of the homepage at the startup of WampServer.

- 1 - Quit Wampserver
- 2 - Edit the file C:\wamp\wampmanager.tpl
- 2a - Just before ;WAMPSTARTUPACTIONEND insert a line to obtain:

Action: run; FileName: "${c_navigator}"; Parameters: "h ttp://localhost/"; Flags: waituntilterminated
;WAMPSTARTUPACTIONEND

Note: Do not put a space between h and ttp. I have to put one, otherwise it is automatically converted to url.
- 2b - Save the modified file
- 3 - Run Wampserver

Wamp now executes the index.php on startup. Thank you for your assistance, it is most appreciated.
