WampServer

When trying to access phpmyadmin via the default alias (localhost/phpmyadmin), I get a 404 not found error, and same for all the other default aliases (I don't have any custom ones.)


Using WampServer 2.2 on Windows 7, 64bit. Apache 2.2.22, PHP 5.3.13, MySQL 5.5.24.

Icon is green.

All the alias conf files have the correct file paths.

The problems started after I made changes to httpd.conf and I think httpd-autoindex.conf to try and get stuff in my /icons folder to show up instead of giving me a 403; that didn't work, so I reset it to defaults, and only changed the DocumentRoot and added the LoadModule line to get PHP working:

LoadModule php5_module "c:/wamp/bin/php/php5.3.13/php5apache2_2.dll

I reset all the conf files to defaults, and the problem persists.

But my /icons folder images are now showing up when they previously didn't, suggesting that somehow all the alias functions got disabled.


Hope you can help, or at least point me in the right direction. I've been trying to figure this out for hours. Thanks!

This all sounds a little odd.

First the httpd.conf file should already have the php LoadModule defined and active.
Second, changing the DocumentRoot will effect many things, there are better ways to configure things that changing that, Virtual Hosts for example, see this post, its not actually relevant to WAMPServer 2.5 its relevant to all Apache versions.

Can I suggest that you uninstall WAMPServer using the standard windows uninstall. Then delete the \wamp folder, as a few files get left but should be removed.

Then reinstall WAMPServer, use the 32bit version of WAMPServer!

Also unless you actually need an old version of Apache or PHP use the latest WAMPServer2.5


Whatever version you decide to install, you then need to make sure your HOSTS file has as least these entries in it.

C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

127.0.0.1  localhost

::1  localhost

It could be that the missing entry '::1 localhost' in the hosts file was causing your issues.
