WAMP server on Dual Boot Mac
Posted by: Aknox (---.8.95.91.static.s-bi.siw.siwnet.net)

I have a Macbook Pro and I installed Windows on it. I tried to install wamp or Xampp but when I browse to the localhost it only says "it works" and the phpmyadmin is "not found".
Has anybody got the same problem on dual boot macs?
Is it some server issue?
What can I do?

thankss

IIS and Apache/Wamp are both web server and might conflict in some way, so you have to disable IIS in order for Wamp to work

Disable IIS in Vista/W7:

Control Panel, Uninstall Programs, Turn Widows Features On or Off, uncheck Internet Information Services

Disable IIS in XP:

Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs, Add/Remove Windows Components, uncheck Internet Information Services (IIS)

Restart computer, then restart Wamp

Also, in folder C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers\etc, open file hosts and delete anything in this file and have only this line below and nothing else

127.0.0.1 localhost

If using Skype, open Skype > Tools > Options > Advanced > Connection then uncheck "use port 80..." restart wamp then skype

I tried this, but on my macbook pro there isn't an option to check or uncheck IIS - frustrating.


"Disable IIS in XP:

GO TO WINDOWS ON ON YOUR MAC

Control Panel, Uninstall Programs, Turn Widows Features On or Off, uncheck Internet Information Services

127.0.0.1 localhost





IF IT ISNT THERE.. THERE IS ISNT A PROPER COPY OF WINDOWS
