WampServer

I installed wampserver 2.3
I get a green light on the icon in the tray.
Skype is not using port 80.
But clicking localhost produces "not found" in IE.
Help.

I do not have c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts. Should I?

Yes.

Try WAMPServer 2.4 its more recent

Do I use Notepad to make a blank hosts file? I tried already, I could not save in etc. Permission denied. Help.

Run as admin, made hosts, content 127.0.0.1 localhost, still IE can't display ...
There was another file, lmhosts.sam, in the etc, looks like it has the same function.

No ignore lmhosts.

Have you tried another browser?

Thanks for helping me.

I changed to chrome.
Same problem: Wamp tray green, click localhost, chrome says "can not display page".

Have you checked the c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file

It should have this line at least

127.0.0.1   localhost

Yes, hosts contains 127.0.0.1 localhost

The apache error log contains:

[Thu Feb 13 11:47:19.355904 2014] [mpm_winnt:error] [pid 3260:tid 1108] (OS 10038)An operation was attempted on something that is not a socket. : Child: Encountered too many AcceptEx faults accepting client connections.

Try this

Try apache again

netsh winsock reset worked, much appreciated. RiggsFolly you are the man.

but testmysql.php does not work. Nor does my project.
I believe it is because a dbase is not in the right place.
For my project I exported 2 dbases, added them to the www directory.

again help

The testmysql.php needs to be edited before it will work!



You are going to have to explain exactly what does not work in your project. Maybe check your apache error log and php error log even the mysql error log, for any clues!

What kind of databases are they?

When I type localhost/BinBros/index.php I get a blank page.

My index.php is:
<?php
/**
* Front to the WordPress application. This file doesn't do anything, but loads
* wp-blog-header.php which does and tells WordPress to load the theme.
*
* @package WordPress
*/

/**
* Tells WordPress to load the WordPress theme and output it.
*
* @var bool
*/
define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);

/** Loads the WordPress Environment and Template */
require( dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/wp-blog-header.php' );

My dbases are 2 sql files that I exported from my server.

I think I have to have wordpress installed. Right?

Right? Wrong. My project that I downloaded contains all the wordpress info/files. Still stuck, help.

wp-config.php has all the db info:

// ** MySQL settings - You can get this info from your web host ** //
/** The name of the database for WordPress */
define('DB_NAME', 'wrd_3eacamd1ej');

/** MySQL database username */
define('DB_USER', 'wrdxsjLBfdM');

/** MySQL database password */
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'NHZlGtSsIK');

/** MySQL hostname */
define('DB_HOST', 'binbros.netfirmsmysql.com');

/** Database Charset to use in creating database tables. */
define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');

/** The Database Collate type. Don't change this if in doubt. */
define('DB_COLLATE', '');

This all produces:
www.binbros.ca hosted at netfirms.ca.

I want to see everything on my HD before transferring it to another server.

Help still.

Well you have to restore the database to a database you create locally.... thats why you have installed MySQL.
