WampServer

I downloaded the WAMP server install from this site and installed it. After a couple tweaks to the Windows Firewall I was able to get to the home page.

I downloaded the latest version of Apache (2.2.17), MySQL (5.1.52) and php (5.3.3). I extracted them to the proper directories, copied the wampserver.conf files to where they belong, etc. I had to manually edit the registry to point the services to the new directories. I had to modify some .ini and .conf files to reflect the new file paths.

wampapache and wampmysqld are both started and running. When I point my web browser at the server, I only receive the standard "It works!" Apache page, not the wamp page.

What further adjustments do I need to make to bring wamp back up?

I'll build this on Saturday if you wanna wait

Steve,

I can wait. On the other hand, I'd also like to understand what is going on and what I can do to bring it up. I only noticed the option to install other "versions" after I went ahead and did all of this work on my own.

Visit my site [pampserver.com]

You can get apache and php there - iv only got mysql 5.1.51 built tho

When u download from their sites and install them there is alot of paths that are not ok with wamp -

For example ur issue is that the httpd.conf file has a document root set to the default for apache and it needs to be changed to c:\wamp\www\

Steve,

I can't get to your site. Our web filter thinks that it has been compromised and is hosting malware. I have asked IT to rescan the site to make sure, but for the time being I am unable to access it.

I was just looking at httpd.conf. I will check that path that you mentioned. Are there any other paths I should be looking for?

I made the change to the document root path and now I get this error

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access / on this server.

I'm thinking I will wait for IT to sort out my access to your site and then just download the latest addons from there.

I wonder why that is? Maybe cos I have exes for download

Copy the httpd.conf from the original httpd in the other version u have and it shud be ok

That was perfect. I copied in the original httpd.conf and then modified it to reflect the new paths for php and apache. It seems to be up and running. I am going to turn the server over to my developers now.

Thanks for your help Steve!

Steve,

I got this up and running, but now I'm getting a blank page when I try to load phpmyadmin. I have not updated the phpmyadmin software. It is still the 3.2.0.1 version that was packaged with WAMP 2.0.

Was it ever working??

Since mysql 5.1.50. The hosts files requires it not to have the ipv6 address enabled.

Go to c:/windows/system32/drivers/etc

Open hosts as administrator in notepad


Make sure it HAS

127.0.0.1. Localhost


And make sure it does NOT HAVE

::1 Localhost

Steve,

Modifying the hosts file fixed the problem.
