WampServer

I have changed both the "listen" and server name in my Apache httpd.conf toerverName localhost:127.0.0.1:8080 (because I also use IIS on this machine and yes, that's the port, not 1.1).

However, when I bring up PHPMyAdmin from the WAMP server, it still always goes to simply "localhost" instead of "localhost:8080." I can still change it by hand and it works, but it's a pain.

Is there any way to change this or is it hard coded into the WAMP system?

Hi,

You have modified wrong things.

With Wampserver 3.0.4 there is à tool to change http port everywhere it is needed and also for PhpMyAdmin.

Please explain how to use the tool to change the HTTP port number everwhere.

Thank you.

Hi,

Right-Click Wampmanager Tray Icon -> Tools -> Use a port other than 80

- Enter the desired port : Choose 8080 (Per default), OK

Wait for Wampmanager icon goes green.

That's all.

Thank you very much for this very quick reply and this simple solution!!

Unfortunately, I spoke too quickly.

I did exactly as you suggested and entered the default Port No. 8080.

I expected then that if I entered a URL of "<my_test_server_domain_name>" the browser would act as if I had entered the URL "<my_test_server_domain_name>:8080".

But it doesn't. I still find that I must enter the ":8080" following the domain name.

In my 'httpd.conf' file I have a section that reads:

Listen 0.0.0.0:8080
Listen [::0]:8080

Is that a mistake? Should it have been left as the default as follows?

Listen 0.0.0.0:80
Listen [::0]:80

Thanks again.

Hi,

The default port of the http protocol is 80.
In all Http transactions, if we do not specify the port number this is port 80.
If for some reason you change the port, for example by 8080, in all HTTP transactions, you MUST add this port number.

You should know what you want!
Want to change the http port by 8080 it is mandatory to tell Apache to listen on that port.

So in all url will need to specify the port of Apache, which is no longer the default port. It will always be: (http://mysite:8080/) There is no to do otherwise.

I do not seem to have this. When I right click the Wampserver icon in my tray, I get:

About
Refresh
Help
Language > (sub-menu)
Exit

I am using the Wampserver Windows edition.

Hi,

All Wampserver versions are for Windows.

The Tools item is with Wampserver 3.

Is there any way to set the port to 8080 in WAMP. Again, the system works fine already at 8080, but when you choose PHPMyAdmin, it goes to localhost instead of localhost:8080

Thanks in advance!

Dear Riggs -
This ***is*** my own thread! It got hijacked by others who were NOT ANSWERING MY ORIGINAL QUESTION.

I have Wampserver 2 and I have moved the port to 8080 (works fine), yet whenever I launch PHPMyAdmin, it launches on Port 80. How do I fix this?

-- John Kiernan (originator of the thread)

Hi,

You have to add :8080 to the link that launch PhpMyAdmin in index.php file.

Sorry, but I have looked at and attempted to change any reference to PHPMyAdmin in the index.php of both the \www and the PHPMyAdmin and this doesn't seem to work.

Am I doing something wrong?

TIA...

Why dont you install MySQL Workbench and use that instead of phpMyAdmin.

It's 10 times better and you could forget about trying and failing to mod WAMPServer
