WampServer

As it says. I spent probably an hour trying to figure out why the "put online" system-tray menu wasn't actually opening up the server to the wider world.

Ended up having to edit Apache's config manually, which will work for now.

But it would be nice if I could figure out what's actually wrong and fix it.

Thanks.

Geeze, that was dumb of me.

OS: Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3
WAMP version: 2.4
Apache version: 2.4.4
MySQL version: 5.6.12
PHP version: 5.4.16

Icon is green

HOSTS file, only thing relevant would be 127.0.0.1 localhost

Please read this "Wampserver 2.4 What to do after Installing" [forum.wampserver.com]

It contains fixes and lots of useful amendments to the 2.4 release. Including a fix for the Put Online issue.


You should have this in HOSTS file

127.0.0.1 localhost
::1            localhost

*Looks at that thread.*
*Tries to locate the piece of advice you just gave*
*Cannot find it*

I also don't know WHY that change would result in the behavior that I need. Which, surprise, surprise, it does not. The put offline/online still does didly squat.

Read again and do a Find on 'The script that WAMP runs when you Put Online and Put Offline '

I remember reading over that section before, but I'll give it another go.
