WampServer

Wampserver update 3.0.8

I have files from an old site that I would like to resurrect to obtain some information. I installed WAMP and have it running with the green icon, thanks to your excellent instruction which I read very carefully. I did create a virtual host using your February 17, 2016 instruction [forum.wampserver.com] . However, I did not correctly name it.

I created a folder c:/custombanner and added a subfolder c:/custombanner/custombanner.com (with no files in it yet). I wanted the old scripts to be able to work for which I think I need "custombanner.com". The virtual host I created is "[custombanner"];.

I see "Your Virtual Host" on the lower right of the home page.
Could you please tell me: 1) how I should have set up the "c:/" folder; and 2) how I can delete the incorrect virtual host?

I apologize for having to ask such basic information but I am very new at all of this. Thank you for all of your very helpful forum instruction postings.

Hi

Ok can you post your Virtual Host definition file. You can find this in

\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.23\conf\extra\httpd-vhosts.conf

This is what is in that file now * BUT * I removed and reinstalled WAMPserver 64 after playing around a bit to see if I could figure it out on my own. (I couldn't.)

I have a green-lighted fresh, updated install but I still do not know what I did wrong. I would greatly appreciate you help so I get it right this time. Clearly I do not grasp your instruction, as easy as you make it, because of my shallow understanding of terminology and function.

Ok, in WAMPServer 3.0.6 it has been ade very easy!

1. Create the folder on disk that you want to hold your site

- I suggest C:\websites\custombanner\www

2. load localhost in your browser wampserver -> localhost

3. Click "Add a VirtualHost" located under the "TOOLS" menu

4. Follow the instructions carefully and it will create all the information required for a localhost definition for your site

Thank you so much! With that explanation I will now get a few hours of sound sleep and start again, reading carefully. I have read stickys and posts going back a couple of years and you have developed a nearly fool-proof way of adding Virtual Hosts, me being one of the fools who who could not quite get it right.
