WampServer

I have an installation of WAMP and I can't access the PHPMYADMIN page. I can get to localhost page, but when I select tools and phpmyadmin the page loads but I do not see anything. I have tried Chrome, FireFox, FireFox Developers edition, Safari all did the same thing, did not display the phpmyadmin page. The only one that work and it only worked once was when I used Opera.

When you ask a question, it is absolutely necessary to specify the following items:

1 - Windows version used: 8.1, 64 bit.

2 - Version WampServer: 2.5, 64 bit.

3 - Apache Version: 2.4.9

4 - PHP Version: 5.5.12

5 - MySQL Version: 5.6.17

6 - What color is the WampServer icon (in the notification area of the taskbar) Green

7 - In the file c:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts, what are the active lines with the name [localhost] in them?
* Active means no # at the beginning of the line.

127.0.0.1 localhost


If the WampServer icon is green:

8 - Do you have access to localhost (Homepage WampServer)? Yes
9 - Do you have access to phpMyAdmin? No

10 - If you refer to an error message, please include the EXACT wording of the error in your post: no error message the page is blank.
11 - If you use an Antivirus and / or Firewall, please include the names of these: I use AVG and the AVG firewall.
12 - What is the full path to the installation of WampServer (eg D:\wamp\): C:\wamp

Can you try running phpMyAdmin using this address in your browser please, and let us know what happens

'http://127.0.0.1/phpmyadmin' ( without the single quotes )

Thanks RiggsFolly, I did as you suggested above, I still get a blank page in all browsers.

It looks like you have chnaged the php.ini file, that has probably disabled a required php extension.

Please put it back to the default and try again.

looks like you answered "Posted by: manaso (201.238.243.---)" who jump in on this post.

Do you have answer for me (maxbank)? Why I can't see PHPMYADIM on FireFox, Safari, Chrome, FireFox Developers addition. The only one that works is Opera. So, I am able to create a data base using Opera, but when I open the Joomla admin the site displays with out any CSS.

Max,

Sorry, missed that.

Can you make sure you have this in your C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file please.

127.0.0.1  localhost
::1  localhost

HOW TO EDIT THE HOSTS FILE
The hosts file is protected by windows, in order to save it you must have Administrator privilages.
Vista/W7/W8 you may think you are an Administrator BUT YOU ARE NOT.

To successfully save the hosts file do this to launch your editor with Admin Privilages.

Locate your editors icon on the desktop or from the Start menus ( notepad will do if you have nothing else )
right click + shift over your chosen editor icon - will show a menu.
select "Run As Administrator" from the menu.
Navigate your editor to the c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file.

When you have made changes you will now be allowed to save them.

Hi RiggsFolly:

Here is what I found in C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.
# 127.0.0.1 localhost
# ::1 localhost

127.0.0.1 localhost

Max

Hi RiggsFolly:

I have successfully changed the "hosts" file to read;

127.0.0.1 localhost
::1 localhost

It took some doing, I have to create an administrator account and use notepad to make the change. At first I was using Sublime Text 2, and that did not work, so I used notepad.

I had to add ::1 localhost several time before notepad would accept the change. Not sure why that happened.

Well the end result is, I am able to use Chrome, FireFox, FireFox Developers Edition, and Safari to access
phpmyadmin and access the Joomla site with all of the CSS working.

Thank you, for your help, RiggsFolly!

Did you not see my note above under the heading HOW TO EDIT THE HOSTS FILE

That was intended to explain why editing the hosts file can be a little tricky, but quite simple if you follow the instructions.

HI RiggsFolly, Yes I followed the instructions you gave, but for some reason (probably user error) I kept getting a message saying I could not save the file.

In any case I got the job done. I thank your for your help.
