WampServer

hi - i use WS2 to customize my cubecart v4.3 skins.

i last used it about 4 months ago but when i tried it today i found the following:

1) could not connect to localhost.

2) apache>service>start/resume service give error box "could not execute item (internal error)....." also test port 80 give "Your port 80 is not actually used"

3) clicking the the mysql start/resume service has no effect other than closing the menu & still shows green arrow.

is there a "relatively easy" way to fix this without installing another version of WS & having onerous task of having to install cubecart again?

to be honest i found it very difficult to get CC up & running last time but was fortunate to use the help of JLBN.net.

however, the JLBN site now seems to have problems with missing content etc.

many thanks

This usually means that Apache has not started.

We need to work out why!

Look at the APache error log, and if that does not give any clues, then look at teh Windows Event Viewer for messagesfrom Apache.

If its not obvious then post the errors here and we will apply our brains

thanks for your reply.

i checked the windows viewer & found nothing relating to apache.

howver a few of the most recent ws error log entries are:

[Mon Jun 30 02:20:34 2014] [notice] Child 4092: Starting 250 worker threads.
[Mon Jun 30 02:20:34 2014] [notice] Child 4092: Starting thread to listen on port 80.

[Mon Jun 30 02:21:30 2014] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] File does not exist: C:/wamp/www/favicon.ico

They are from June, and are not errors.

If Apache is failing to start, there almost definitely are error messages in the Windows Event Viewer

Look under 'Windows Logs -> Application'


Alternatively, what has changed on your system in the last 4 months that may effect Apache's operation??

hi - my apologies - i checked windows log again (way down the list) & found 5 errors:


date:29/10/14 (all errors)
source: application
type: error
event id = 1000

description: faulting application wampserver.exe version 1.6.1.33
failing module Kernel32.dll version 5.1.2500.5781.
fault address 0x00012alb

don't know how to resolve the "dll" problem?

thanks again

Ok lets start by making sure you have all the required Microsoft C/C++ runtime libraries loaded on your system.

Read this and make sure you have them all [forum.wampserver.com]

hi - i did a system restore to last month.


i can now get localhost & apache is now in service however mysql is still showing as not in service

when i tried my cubecart i got

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061) in C:\wamp\www\cubecart430\classes\db\db.php on line 42
Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)

thanks

Look at the mysql error log and/or Windows Event Viewer for messages from MySQL.

hi - i'm giving up trying to fix my WS2 for my cubecart. but thanks for your help.

instead i'm going to install WS 2.2e (for xp) but as it was about 3 yrs ago when i installed the old WS 2 version i have forgotten the procedure for adding zend optimizer & ioncube loader.

as mentioned i originally used the guides provided by JLBN.net but when i checked again i found end pages missing from most of the guides.

i have 2 questions:

1) can any one please point me to a guide or help regarding the above mentioned?

2) regarding the old WS 2 - do i just uninstall it? - the "www" contains my cubecart , ioncube loader, zend optimizer both originally downloaded from JLBN - i have a copy of my cubecart.

again thanks for your help

Regarding installing a new WampServer release read this to help you do it without loosing what you already have.

RE: ioncube loader

Instructions can be found here [www.ioncube.com]

hi RiggsFolly it's me again - i installed WS v2.2e - all is "green light" except for phpmyadmin.


i'm getting the error:

#2002 - No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.

The server is not responding (or the local server's socket is not correctly configured).


i've tried looking for stray my.ini/my.cnf files, changing listen 80 to listen 000:80 & deleting session files in tmp as suggested - no luck

here's the mysql log:for the new install:

appreciated if you can help.

Well MySQL seems to have initialized correctly, so maybe its a this bit that is the problem

(or the local server's socket is not correctly configured).

SO lets try this to reset your network

Open a command prompt as Administrator and
Run

netsh winsock reset
netsh winsock reset catalog
netsh int ip reset reset.log
netsh int ipv4 reset reset.log
netsh int ipv6 reset reset.log
ipconfig /flushdns

Reboot if necessary

Try apache again

many thanks RiggsFolly for your help - done as suggested & great, WS is now working.

i've tried to install my cubecart 4.3 having initially setup db & user in phpmyadmin.& created a new

global.inc.php file

however, i am getting a blank page during install on going from step 3 (input of db & admin info etc) to step 4

(permission).

once again, thanks

If you are using any kind of CMS/Framework it will make your life easier if you create a Virtual Host in Apache for it to run in.

A Virtual Host has many benefits but the main one is it makes the site think it is running as the only site under Apache, and allows the DocumentRoot to be set correctly rather than just putting the software in a subfolder of \wamp\www

Here is a Document describing how to set them up. [forum.wampserver.com]
