WampServer

Hi,

I installed Wamp a few days ago. It is working fine. It's showing green and server in on "on-line"status. So far so good i think.

In the fast I worked on Windows XP and installed Apache, PHP and MySql myself and it always worked in combination with dreamweaver.

Now I installed Wamp on Windows 7 on the C drive.

My php code (websites) are on E drive. E/ApacheWeb/htdocs/
My Sql code is on E drive as well. E/MySql Tabels/

If is run a page from Dreamweaver he can find the page but he can not fill in de MySql data.

What do I forget?

Plz Help

Hi...

I think when we are using DW to run our PHP it will execute only that PHP compiled in HTML format ...so when you r trying to connect or populate DB using DW it wont be possible...you have to use specific browser...
You should try it using mozilla or any other browser to insert data or fetch data from mysql...DW has limitations...

I think that way you can work....

Good day...

I use DW but using F12 to start up Firefox. Still it don't work.

Could it be that the php.ini and my.ini file are missing something? Because the path is not found?

Anyone have a suggestion?

you will need to change wamps apache and mysql settings to look at these places..

in the httpd.conf and my.ini files


you can access them on the menu

Hi Steven,

Can you plz give a bit more information about what I have to change in these files so it will work?

Regards

left click wamp>mysql>my.ini

find this section

 basedir=c:/wamp/bin/mysql/mysql5.5.8
log-error=c:/wamp/logs/mysql.log
datadir=c:/wamp/bin/mysql/mysql5.5.8/data

and change the last one so its like

basedir=c:/wamp/bin/mysql/mysql5.5.8
log-error=c:/wamp/logs/mysql.log
datadir="e:/MySql Tabels"

left click wamp>apache>httpd.conf


find

DocumentRoot "c:/wamp/www/"

and

<Directory "c:/wamp/www/">

and change to

DocumentRoot " E/ApacheWeb/htdocs/"

and

<Directory " E/ApacheWeb/htdocs/">

Save both files and completely restart wamp

Thxs it helped me a lot. I don't get strange things.

Only thing is now he can not find the database and its in the right directory.

Any suggestion. Did i forgot something?

did you check in phpmyadmin that the database shows up?


make sure you edit the config file to have

host = localhost
user = root
password = blank

or create a user in phpmyadmin

Yes the database is showing in phpmyadmin as wel as in NaviCat.

Strange thing is that some database are showing normal like this aikidoschoolamstelveen (14)


and this one is showing lik this #mysql50#id-fxmultimedia (6)

In the directory is just reading like id-fxmultimedia

Maybe some thing wrong here?

sound like you have Inno db which can NOT copy and paste but proper export/backup and import/restore to make it work

After you last entry Steven all was working except I had to try export/import it.

After that the server would not start so I thought I delete wamp and install it again.

I did and did not modify the ini files but instead choose to play all the files where wamp want to have the normaly.

I started wampserver again and started phpmyadmin and now that is giving a error number "#2002 server is not reacting".

What is going wrong this time. I did not change anything and installed it 3 time but get the same mistake again.

Help plz
