WampServer

Hi,

I've just installed WampServer 3.0.6 and updated it to 3.0.8, tried both x86 and x64 versions, but it seems a lot of options that were available in WampManager 2.2 are not available in WampManager 3.0.8, things like switch php version.

At least what I'm seeing is very different than the screenshots in sourceforge page.

Also, even though the icon is green and the services are running, "Check services state" in Tools menu always report as not started, is it a bug?

Thanks for the great PHP development environment!

Ok, I have figured out how to switch PHP version by LEFT-CLICKING W icon.

Although "Check state of services" still shows as services were not started, even though icon is green, bug in script?!

Hi,

> Ok, I have figured out how to switch PHP version by LEFT-CLICKING W icon.
Whatever the versions of Wampserver, from WAMP5 to Wampserver 3.0.8, Wampserver 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4 and 2.5, to change PHP version, it was ALWAYS with a left-click then PHP , then Version.

Hi,

When you start Wampserver 32 bit, are you sure you have left Wampserver 64 bit ?
Both versions of Wampserver 32 and 64 bit can not be launched simultaneously.

If you have access to localhost and PhpMyAdmin, it means that the two necessary services are started.
In the localhost page, what is it noted next to: Server Software:

---------------------------------------------------------------
Documentation Apache - Documentation PHP - Documentation MySQL - Wampserver install files & addons

Yes, I've uninstalled Wampserver 64 Bit prior to installing Wampserver 32 Bit.

Server Software says: Apache/2.4.23 (Win32) PHP/7.0.10 - Port defined for Apache: 80

Do you think it is a bug in "Check states of services" script?

Thanks for your help!

Hi,

In the Services Manager (Execute services.msc) Which services names start with wamp?

> Do you think it is a bug in "Check states of services" script?
No, This script checks the services whose names are in the [service] section of the wamp/wampmanager.conf file.

---------------------------------------------------------------
Documentation Apache - Documentation PHP - Documentation MySQL - Wampserver install files & addons

Services: wampapache and wampmysqld

In wampmanager.conf in [service] section ServiceApache and ServiceMysql were like this:

ServiceApache ="wampapache"
ServiceMysql ="wampmysqld"

I tried to put an space between = and the name, but the script still says they are not started, but they are!

Also dnscache service is not listed in [service] section in wampmanager.conf

Hi,

> Also dnscache service is not listed in [service] section in wampmanager.conf
This is normal, it is a Windows system service.

The service startup check is performed by Windows command line, as in a command window, by the commands:

C:\Windows\System32>sc query wampapache

SERVICE_NAME: wampapache
        TYPE               : 10  WIN32_OWN_PROCESS
        STATE              : 4  RUNNING
                                (STOPPABLE, NOT_PAUSABLE, ACCEPTS_SHUTDOWN)
        WIN32_EXIT_CODE    : 0  (0x0)
        SERVICE_EXIT_CODE  : 0  (0x0)
        CHECKPOINT         : 0x0
        WAIT_HINT          : 0x0

C:\Windows\System32>sc query wampmysqld

SERVICE_NAME: wampmysqld
        TYPE               : 10  WIN32_OWN_PROCESS
        STATE              : 4  RUNNING
                                (STOPPABLE, PAUSABLE, ACCEPTS_SHUTDOWN)
        WIN32_EXIT_CODE    : 0  (0x0)
        SERVICE_EXIT_CODE  : 0  (0x0)
        CHECKPOINT         : 0x0
        WAIT_HINT          : 0x0

C:\Windows\System32>sc query dnscache

SERVICE_NAME: dnscache
        TYPE               : 20  WIN32_SHARE_PROCESS
        STATE              : 4  RUNNING
                                (STOPPABLE, NOT_PAUSABLE, IGNORES_SHUTDOWN)
        WIN32_EXIT_CODE    : 0  (0x0)
        SERVICE_EXIT_CODE  : 0  (0x0)
        CHECKPOINT         : 0x0
        WAIT_HINT          : 0x0

C:\Windows\System32>

by CLI PHP then verify that "RUNNING" is in the result for each service.
Since the search for "RUNNING" is done by strpos(), if the answer is "running" in lower case, it will not be found.

You can try typing commands in a command window and see the result, for example for:
sc query wampapache

Hum, I get RUNNING too, but as my language is portuguese, it says ESTADO instead of STATE, maybe this is the issue?!

Does the script search for the word STATE?

My system is French, it says STATE.
Yes, the script search for the word STATE.

$command = 'sc query '.$value.' | find "STATE"';
$output = `$command`;
if(strpos($output, "RUNNING" ) !== false)

If Microsoft translates even the results of the basic commands of the system, it will become impossible to manage, especially since STATE is translated, but not RUNNING.
Why not also translate command names, such as:
CHDIR or CD into ALDIR ou AD (Alterar diretório)
COPY into COPIADORA
SC into CS (Controle de serviço)
and so on

it's big anything!

I agree, so I shouldn't worry about it, but it might break some tools of Wamp

Do you want me to test anything else? I can help with testing if you want

Well, at least you know what to blame if someone appears with a similar issue

Hi,

Why in my French system, both under Windows 7 Pro and Windows 10 Pro, STATE is not translated by ÉTAT ?
This would have allowed me to see that I could not search for the term STATE!

Can you put here the result as above of the three commands:
sc query wampapache
sc query wampmysqld
sc query dnscache
please put it between [ code] ... [ /code] tags (Without space)

It is strange that you are the first to discover this problem and it is not only Windows Portuguese, English or French systems that use wampserver 3
