WampServer

Downloaded wampserver. Clicked exe install package When it got to install location dialog it said C:/wamp.

I clicked install and and it said C:/wamp is not a wampserver directory (or something like that).

I tried different locations and all failed.

Running Vista Home Edition on an HP laptop.

Hi,

That you want to install is an "addon" and not the complete wampserver installer.
See WAMPserver 3 - All you need to know for the right download links.

Hi

Then you are installing an ADDON and NOT the WAMPServer install

Install this For 32bit WAMPServer3.0.6

Or this for 64bit WAMPServer 3.0.6


Then apply this ADDON to get you to WAMPServer3.0.8, the current version

Get your Apache/MySQL/mariaDB/PHP ADDONs here from the WAMPServer alternate Repo

I thought I downloaded the regular wampserver. I will go back and check.

Ok. Got the right file. Made sure all the VCdeistributables installed.
Installation failed twice with message TryAcquire??/LocakExclusive ??? in kernal32.dll.

As I said earlier, I am running Vista. Perhaps that dll entry point is not exported in the Vista kernel.

I will try again.

MySQL 5.7.14 (In fact all 5.7 versions) is not supported by Vista.

Tomorrow (This is the closing time of my shop) I will give you a procedure to replace MySQL 5.7.14 by MySQL 5.6.35

Thanks. I will look forward to that.

Best regards

Perhaps I should ust upgrade OS to win 7.

Hi,

- Exit Wampserver

On http://wampserver.aviatechno.net (Well organized better than sourceforge) download :

- Wampserver Update 3.0.8
- MySQL 5.6.35 32 bit

- Launch - as Administrator* - update 3.0.8

- Launch - as Administrator* - addon MySQL 5.6.35

* Right-click the exe file and then run as Administrator

- Open à command windows as an administrator (Must be Administrator in the title of the windows)
in this command windows type:

sc delete wampmysqld

May be an error message like: The specified service does not exist as an installed service.
It does not matter

- Edit with a correct text editor like Notepad++ the file wamp/wampmanager.conf
- Replace

mysqlVersion = "5.7.14"

by

mysqlVersion = "5.6.35"

Be sure that the folder wamp\bin\mysql\mysql5.6.35\ exists
Save the modified file

- Launch Wampserver even if not green
- Wampmanager tray icon -> MySQL -> Service administration -> Install service
- Wampmanager tray icon -> MySQL -> Service administration -> Start/Resume service

The version of MySQL installed with the wampserver install package says 5.7.14
Should I uninstall that before installing 5.6.35?

Is your forum a piece of free ware? I really like it.

Hi:

Opened the configuration file in notepad.

Edit with a correct text editor like Notepad++ the file wamp/wampmanager.conf
- Replace

mysqlVersion = "5.7.14"

by

mysqlVersion = "5.6.35"

No such entry to replace mysqlVersion = "5.7.14"

so I added mysqlVersion = "5.6.35"

and 5.6.35 does exist in the bin subdirectory.

I found the mysqlVersion = "5.7.14" by going through the file. I did not find originally in a search. Weird.

- Launch Wampserver even if not green
- Wampmanager tray icon -> MySQL -> Service administration -> Install service
- Wampmanager tray icon -> MySQL -> Service administration -> Start/Resume service

It is red and will not start. What should I do to override whatever is blocking it?

I did intall the 3.08 update

Hi,

> Should I uninstall that before installing 5.6.35?
When writing a procedure, ALL points are mentioned. I have not written to uninstall 5.7.14; Besides, you could not do it at this point.

> No such entry to replace mysqlVersion = "5.7.14"
> so I added mysqlVersion = "5.6.35"
Do only what I say to do! And not just anything at your convenience, without knowing the implications.
I wrote to use a correct text editor and notepad is not a correct text editor.

Use Notepad++

> and 5.6.35 does exist in the bin subdirectory.
You didn't install mysql 5.6.35 addon

I did not add the 5.6.35 entry. As I said I did search and could not find so I was thinking to add it. I went through the file and found the entry to be corrected and did so. I did not ignore your instructions anywhere.

I did not use notepad ++ .I have read it is only notepad with highlighting and not needed for text editing files. I turned off wordwrap on the configuration file.
I will get notepad++ if you think that is really needed.

I did download and install 5.6.35 addon. I assume that is why 5.6.35 appears in the bin directory.

Hi:

Downloaded notepad ++

conf file opened in notepad ++

[mysql]mysqlVersion = "5.6.35"mysqlConfDir = "."
mysqlConfFile = "my.ini"
mysqlExeDir = "bin"
mysqlExeFile = "mysqld.exe"
mysqlServiceInstallParams ="--install-manual wampmysqld"
mysqlServiceRemoveParams ="--remove wampmysqld"
[mysqloptions]
mysqlPortUsed = "3306"
mysqlUseOtherPort = "off"

Hi,

> [mysql]mysqlVersion = "5.6.35"mysqlConfDir = "."
This is typical of an edition with inappropriate software like notepad or wordpad.
You should have :

[mysql]
mysqlVersion = "5.6.35"
mysqlConfDir = "."

With an end-of-line character at the end of each line.
Notepad and Wordpad must be totally banned for editing text files.

Hi:

Thanks for response. I will correct with a return.

I used notepad with wordwrap off because it does not add wrap returns.
htaccess files are notorious for getting screwed up from editing with notepad with wordwrap on.

Clicked on (still red) desktop icon and got a flash of a cmd window. Try Icon displays

Thanks for you support and hard work.

You never answered about the source of this blog?

Hi,

> I used notepad with wordwrap off because it does not add wrap returns.
Text files from Wampserver (conf files or php scripts) may have Unix line end (Line Feed LF 0x0A) or Windwos/DOS line end (Carrage Retrun/Line Fedd CR/LF 0x0D/0x0A)
Notepad is unable to recognize Unix type, so to edit files from Wampserver you should not use Notepad.

> licked on (still red)
> ....
> So I assume it is running.
NO. Icone MUST be green. See TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS

> htaccess files are notorious for getting screwed up from editing with notepad with wordwrap on.
.htaccess files have Unix ended lines, so don't use notepad to create or modify.
Notepad ++ handles files of all types very well. It knows how to handle Unix-like line ends as well as Windows / Dos

NEVER use notepad or Wordpad to edit text files: *.php, *.txt, *.conf, *.ini, .htaccess, etc.
