WampServer

Hi all,
I have re-installed Wampserver on a new PC with WIndows 8.1.
Now I need to edit the httpd.conf file and for that I click the green wampserver icon in the systray. In a strange way the file is opened in Notepad and all the configuration lines are set one after another, w/o line feed or carriage return. In this mode is very difficult read and change that file. I am not able to modify that behaviour

Moreover I am not able to change the default application to open those text files (e.g. using notepad ++).
Is there anybody that can give an advise? I tryed to change the editor parameter in the relevant line of WAMPSERVER.conf, but I had an error of missed notepad++. Maybe for a path mistake.

Obviously I can change my setting files from file explorer, but I would like to have wampserver working well in all its functionality.
Many thanks in advance.
Claudio

Hi,

Complete absolute path to Notepad++ in wampserver.conf, like this:

editor = "C:\util\texte\notepad++\notepad++.exe"

After, do a right-click then Refresh.

Dear Otomatic, many thanks for your prompt replay.
I made what you advice.
I modified the file C:\wamp\wampmanager.conf (not C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.9wampserver.conf for me)

In the line n.8 I changed the text: <editor = "notepad.exe"> with the text: <editor = "C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\notepad++.exe">

In a first moment it didn't works, but the " ...right-click then Refresh" on the files itself was the trick (for the Italian people the menu item is "Ricarica" ).

Now it works for me.

Thanks again.
I put solved in the title.

Bye
Claudio

The response was quick because I read your post shortly after you have posted.
If I was connected a little earlier, you would have had to wait longer

It was a mistake on my part. I thought "wampmanager.conf" but I wrote "wampserver.conf".
As a casual reader, you corrected yourself! Fine
