WampServer

Hi! I would like to ask one question. I'm using MySQL database (running as a service) on my PC and I don't know if it is possible to use this already installed release as a database for WAMP. There are a lot of databases created and I'd rather not use other instance of MySQL ... I would appreciate any help, thanks !

u can use it but its easier to use wamps


open yours... and export all the dbs . now import them in wamps

suggest you install wamp in other pc for testing first, export all your current db and import them into mysql in wamp as well as all needed web pages, test them thoroughly; if working, uninstall your current mysql, search and delete any related files, restart that pc, then install wamp, import db and webpages and enjoy

Thanks for answers. I know that I could just install WAMP with it's own MySQL, but this database must be running all the time, not only when WAMP is running. Is it possible to use WAMP MySQL as a service, while Apache & PHP like a normal application?

yes of course. wamp doesnt even need to be running for the server and mysql to work

there in services.msc like all services

wampapache
wampmysqld

Hi again! Thanks guys, I followed your advices and almost everything works fine. Just one, last problem: when I exit WampServer manager (this one from system tray) it shuts down my MySQL service, is anything I can do about it? Maybe some changes in configuration? Thanks in advance for reply!

well yes


in c:/wamp/wampmanager.tpl


find this section


[myexit]
;WAMPMYEXITSTART
Action: service; Service: wampapache; ServiceAction: stop; Flags: ignoreerrors
Action: service; Service: wampmysqld; ServiceAction: stop; Flags: ignoreerrors
Action: exit
;WAMPMYEXITEND



and comment out like so

[myexit]
;WAMPMYEXITSTART
;Action: service; Service: wampapache; ServiceAction: stop; Flags: ignoreerrors
;Action: service; Service: wampmysqld; ServiceAction: stop; Flags: ignoreerrors
Action: exit
;WAMPMYEXITEND


NOTE :- ********** ONLY EDIT THIS FILE WHEN WAMP IS COMPLETLY SHUT DOWN********


Note :- i dunno if when you restart if wamp will it shut down and reopen the service.... let me know and ill find a solution for u
