WampServer

Windoze 7 64
WAMP 2.5 64
Apache 2.4.9
MySQL 5.6.17
PHP 5.5.1.2

WAMP icon RED

HOSTS FILE:
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 01_Stamps

::1 localhost
::1 01_Stamps

I have followed the instructions posted here to the letter and httpd -t returns syntax ok but I am not able to convince the WAMP icon to indicate GREEN. If I hove over the icon it says the server is online. Nor can I convince it to turn the Virtual Hosts menu to display despite modifying the wampmanager.tpl file. I am very new to WAMP et al and need a lot of hand holding. (Background in database design last century)

Hi,

"01_Stamps" is not a valid domain name. Underline is not valid for domain name.

Thank you, have corrected that and it still will not go green - I have changed all references to just "Stamps"

It says that the server is online and My projects now lists the Folder as Stamps

Lets start at the beginning :

Lets check which service is not started.

If wampmanager is RED then Apache and MySQL services have not started
If wampmanager is ORANGE then either Apache OR MySQL services have not started

If its GREEN all is well.

The Online or Offline state is completely irrelevant, it just denote wether Apache is configured to accept connections from This machine only ( offline ) or the whole internet (online)


To find out which service has not started do :-

left click wampmanager -> Apache -> Service ->
If the 'Start/Resume service menu item is greyed out and un-clickable the service is running

And similiarly for MySQL

left click wampmanager -> MySQL -> Service ->
If the 'Start/Resume service menu item is greyed out and un-clickable the service is running


Now which service has not started? Whichever it is, look at the error log ( also available using the menus )

If they are empty, then look at 'Windows Event Viewer' for messages from whichever service has not started ( APACHE or MYSQL)

What do you find?

I am sorry to interfere
I have the same issue
I followed your instructions @Riggsfolly, I found that the Mysql services is not running.(Start/Resume service menu item is green arrow and clickable)

when I went to event viewer I found this message (wampmysqld: Arrأھt du serveur terminأ©)

I hope I following correctly

Hi Mohamed,

Yes you are doing all the right things to identify the issue.

I am sorry the forum did something nasty to you error message so I cannot read it.

As you seem to write English well, can you convert your MySQL error messages to English please by doing this :-

Edit my.ini ( use the wampmanager menus to do this )

Locate these lines

lc-messages-dir=d:/wamp/bin/mysql/mysql5.5.28/share
# Change your locale here !
lc-messages=fr_FR

lc-messages-dir=d:/wamp/bin/mysql/mysql5.5.28/share
# Change your locale here !
lc-messages=en_GB

Then try running MySQL again, and tell me what the error message is in English. You can change the error message back to French later if you like, or one of many oter languages.

I would like to confess to you that I do not know where to get the error message from. Last posting was from the event viewer. Now from the same window viewer I get (wampmysqld: Shutdown complete). when I ran the Mysql console, it opened the binary file asking for a password, which I seem to still have remembered well since it gives me welcome... Running the service through the play button that you specified previously does not give out any error messages nor any other sort of actions seems to take place.


I would like also to post other messages I am getting; so that you get a bigger picture about the group of errors I am encountering. when I tried to launch the myphpadmin I got the following message.

phpMyAdmin tried to connect to the MySQL server, and the server rejected the connection. You should check the host, username and password in your configuration and make sure that they correspond to the information given by the administrator of the MySQL server.

For your info. I have on my windows 8 lap top, the Mysql workbench (do you need any info about that)

I found some errors, I will paste the latest set of errors.

-Can't start server: Bind on TCP/IP port: No such file or directory

-Do you already have another mysqld server running on port: 3306 ?

-The wampmysqld service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 10 time(s).


I hope this would help
Best regards

Ah, there are 2 versions of MySQL Workbench.

One comes installs a MySQL server and One does not. I assume you have the version that installs its own MySQL server.


I would suggest that you remove the MySQL workbench ( AFTER backing up any databases you want to keep ) then install the version that does not install its own verison of MySQL.

Then the MySQL in WAMPServer will start correctly.

The msi or the zip one because what I already have is the msi one
Sorry to repeat the question but just because it was challenging installing the workbench and C++.
Regards

The .msi in this case.

Genius
Thank you so much. I just uninstalled the server from MySQL uninstall.
Now It is green, and I could log to the PHP admin page. And I could see my project (or more precisely login into then, ALTHOUGH I still do not see what I already wrote inside, but |I will go piece by piece)

Best Regards

After installing Ver2.5 i see that wampmanager is ORANGE and Apache services have not started. What should I do

Using the wampmanager menus do

wampmanager -> Apache -> Test Port 80


What does it tell you?
