WampServer

I today upgraded to Wampserver 3, I love wampserver it's great.

However I can't get WS3 to automatically start at (re)start pc.

I changed the services.msc > wampapache & wampmysqld to set to automatic. Even tried a shortcut in startup folder, but does not work.

I can (after (re)start open wampserver via the wampserver shortcut in startcenter, and for the rest everything works very well.

What should I do to let WS start automatically at boot?

Personally, I've never been able to get thing set right in W10 such that WS will auto-start when W10 starts. I don't suppose I've exhausted every avenue, but I've decided it's just as easy (for me at least) to start WS manually after W10 has restarted.

Hi,

Works with Windows 7 :
In the registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
put a new REG_SZ value

Name : Wampmanager
Value : "c:\wamp\wampmanager.exe" "-scriptfile=c:\wamp\wampmanager.ini"

(With the quotes and put your path)

Then, delayed of 2 min by Startup Delayer program.

I use a registered version of Startup Delayer, may be it works with another version.

I see that I made a mistake in my post. Wampserver and sql start automatically at start. I was not aware of that. Sorry, I made the classis mistake that if I dont see Wamp in the taskbar it's not running,, but it is.

Only the Wampserver menu in the taskbar is not started. And I need that.

How can I autostart that? I had that on Wampserver 2, but not with 3.

Hi,

Do not put services wampapache and wampmysqld in Automatic start.

Add the Registry key and delayed start, as I wrote in previous message.

Thanks for the remark.

Adding the REG_SZ makes the icon appearing in taskbar.
However Wampserver/mysql not starting. (2 services not available).

If I add the "services.msc > wampapache & wampmysqld" on top off that, does not work either.

If I remove REG_SZ and keep the " services.msc > wampapache & wampmysqld" wampserver starts at start but I have no Icon.

Adding Wampserver to startup folder also does nothing.

BEats me, what's going wrong here.

For the time beeing I use the " services.msc > wampapache & wampmysqld" and start wamp by hand later if I need the tools in the taskbar.

Hi,

and delayed start

Thanks Otomatic,

I understand but I don't want anymore programms etc on my PC. It worked in Wamp2 but not 3 at the moment.

It's not a big deal, I can start by hand, but would be nice if I got that icon also appearing automatically.

Maybe I'll use your suggestion in the new year. Now I'm going to enjoy the holidays. Wish you all a Merry Christmas and a wonderful 2016.

P.S.

I now fixed it:
Made a wamp.bat file in startupfolder with content (use the path that's correct for you):

start E:\wamp\wampmanager.exe

You can make it start later f.e. by:

TIMEOUT 50
start E:\wamp\wampmanager.exe
