WampServer

Must say I start to get the hang of it and quite dig all of this. Two things about logs that got me thinking a bit more.


1. When running Wamp and surfing the net I can see logs of pages visited, or better logs of the pages that tried to load ads inside the pages that I did visit.

The logs are here: C:\wamp\logs and I checked access.log and they (the ad pages) all came up there.

I assume this is because I have a huge hosts file from here [winhelp2002.mvps.org] that redirects requests to ad servers to the localhost?

Does Wamp somehow see all the pages that I visit?

Can I tell Wamp to instead of displaying an error "could not load" where the ad should normally be on the website, to just serve a blank white space?



2. In the php_error.log I keep getting

PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'c:/wamp/bin/php/php5.5.12/ext/php_ldap.dll' - The specified module could not be found. in Unknown on line 0

Is this normal?


Kind Regards

Frank,

1. No WAMPServer does not see all the pages you visit on the internet. However your HOSTS file setup is designed to simply stop ads being loaded by sending the request to a 127.0.0.1 which normally would just do nothing. Of course now you have an Apache web sever on 127.0.0.1 so it will just reply 'Cannot find'

To be hnest its a tiny bug in 2.5.

All you need to do is this to fix it

wampmanager -> Apache -> Version - and then click on the version number

This will make wampserver rebuild all the SYMLINKS a couple of which where missed from the install/initial load processing.
