WampServer

any help after downloading wampServer and when i try to log on to phpMyAdmin i get this error message.


The mysqli extension is missing. Please check your PHP configuration. <a href="Documentation.html#faqmysql" target="documentation"><img src="themes/dot.gif" title="Documentation" alt="Documentation" class="icon ic_b_help" /></a>

any help debugging would be very much appreciated

IDK what i did exactly,, or better stated what i was doing wrong before but i got it running now.. i added port 80 and its a go now

I get the same error message. When you say you added port 80, where did you add it? I tried replacing the port=3306 in the my.ini file with port=80, and that didn't do it.

After installing WAMP Server, and launching the application from the install wizard, I get the error message "The proceedure entry point php_set_error_handling could not be located in the dynamic link library php5ts.dll." php-win.exe - Entry Point Not Found

Then, when I try and launch phpAdmin from WAMP, I get the same error as this topic starter got:

The mysqli extension is missing. Please check your PHP configuration.

but the php_mysqli.dll line is not commented out in the php.ini file, and the dll exists in the ext directory of the php directory.

So, I am at a total loss. I can not get off of square one. Totally bummed. Hope someone has the key. Thanks.

How and where did you add port 80?

Hi, I got this problem for a long time. Tried all I've red on forums and this finally worked for me:
Open your php.ini (I assume you've got the good one that is loaded...) and find this line
mysqli.default_port = 3306
change for
mysqli.default_port = 80
Restart all services
Go to localhost/phpmyadmin -> won't work
Reopen the php.ini file and retype this
mysqli.default_port = 3306
Restart all services
Worked for me.

haha, silly! Yes indeed, but it worked, doesn't make sense at all but since you are not giving any answer to previous post maybe you shouldn't add wrong.

it didn't work for me:/

Please go to the wamp home page 'http://localhost'

Then click the phpinfo() link

Then post the line from the phpinfo page with a line entitled Loaded Configuration File

Thanks

I have installed wamp everything is green cannot connect to phpmyadmin. I get error 403. ran testmysql.php and get an orange sql connect warning:

Could not connect to MySQL: Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

how can I fix this?

I assume you have realised that you have to edit that file before it will work.

edit c:\wamp\testmysql.php

Change this line

$link = mysql_connect('hostname','dbuser','dbpassword');

to

$link = mysql_connect('localhost','root','');

Save the chnages and try again.

Stlil getting 403 error. Wamp is green and localhost works fine.

I pasted in the code above which was

$link = mysql_connect('localhost','root','');

plus some additional code per advise in another post.

After putting in the new code it's still getting the 403 error.

I copied the new code into the phpmyadmin.conf in notepad and saved it, plus rebooted my computer, and I'm still getting the error code 403. Puzzling.

Here is the code showing in the phpmyadmin.conf file now:

Alias /phpmyadmin "c:/wamp/apps/phpmyadmin3.5.1/"

# to give access to phpmyadmin from outside
# replace the lines
#
# Order Deny,Allow
# Deny from all
# Allow from 127.0.0.1
#
# by
#
# Order Allow,Deny
# Allow from all
#

<Directory "c:/wamp/apps/phpmyadmin4.0.4/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks ExecCGI
AllowOverride all
Order Allow,Deny
</Directory>

Try this:

If you are using Apache 2.4.x -

<Directory "c:/wamp/apps/phpmyadmin4.0.4/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks ExecCGI
AllowOverride all
Require local
</Directory>


If you are using Apache 2.2.x

<Directory "c:/wamp/apps/phpmyadmin4.0.4/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks ExecCGI
AllowOverride all
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1 localhost ::1
</Directory>
