WampServer

I have the same problem. The method above worked, but I absolutely need for it to work without running it with admin rights. So a normal user can run it.
I there a way to make it work?
Also I've noticed that every time I start Wampmanager without admin rights it deletes all symlink files in C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.17\bin including the php.ini link.
Is that normal?

Thanks

Hi,

> I absolutely need for it to work without running it with admin rights
To start services without admin rights, use "setACL"
See : [forum.wampserver.com]

The shortcut that launch Wampserver MUST have "run as administrator" checked, otherwise, symlinks cannot be created.

Thanks for the quick answer!
I've indeed used "setACL" for the services. That was my first problem.
But the PHP link error is still there.
At install the php.ini symlink was created.
On first run as admin about 15 other symlink files are created in C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.17\bin
But if I run it without admin all symlink files get deleted and php doesn't work.

BTW
1 - Windows 8.1 64 bit
2 - Version WampServer 3.0.0 32 bit
3 - Apache Version 2.4.17
4 - PHP Version 5.6.15
5 - MySQL Version 5.5
6 - What color is the WampServer icon (Green)

Edit: what I meant was that: If I start wampmanager without admin "after" all the symlink files are created, the files get deleted.

Hi,

> At install the php.ini symlink was created.
It is created by Inno Setup installer.

> On first run as admin about 15 other symlink files are created in C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.17\bin
Each time Wampmanager is launched, all symlinks are deleted then created to reflect correct Apache and PHP version in use.

You can try to see if it works by copying the files whitout admin rights instead of creating symbolic links.

In the wamp\scripts\wampserver.lib.php file
Replace :

		//Symlink created if file exists in phpx.y.z directory
		if (is_file($target)) {
			symlink($target, $link);
		}
	}
	//Create apache/apachex.y.z/bin/php.ini link to phpForApache.ini file of active version of PHP
	$target = $c_phpVersionDir."/php".$php_version."/".$phpConfFileForApache;
	$link = $c_apacheVersionDir."/apache".$wampConf['apacheVersion']."/".$wampConf['apacheExeDir']."/php.ini";
	//php.ini deleted if exists
	if(is_file($link) || is_link($link)) {
		unlink($link);
	}
	if(symlink($target, $link) === false)
		error_log("Error while creating symlink '".$link."' to '".$target."'";
}

by

		//Symlink created if file exists in phpx.y.z directory
		if (is_file($target)) {
			copy($target, $link);
		}
	}
	//Create apache/apachex.y.z/bin/php.ini link to phpForApache.ini file of active version of PHP
	$target = $c_phpVersionDir."/php".$php_version."/".$phpConfFileForApache;
	$link = $c_apacheVersionDir."/apache".$wampConf['apacheVersion']."/".$wampConf['apacheExeDir']."/php.ini";
	//php.ini deleted if exists
	if(is_file($link) || is_link($link)) {
		unlink($link);
	}
	if(copy($target, $link) === false)
		error_log("Error while creating symlink '".$link."' to '".$target."'";
}

BUT.... WARNING All changes you make in php.ini (Wampmanager Tray Icon -> PHP -> php.ini that is wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.17\bin\php.ini) ABSOLUTELY MUST be redone in wamp\bin\php\phpx.y.z\phpForApache.ini. x.y.z being active PHP release.
This is done automatically with symlinks.

Thanks, but it look like I don't have the same exact code you shone above.
And when I tried t replace it, nothing worked afterwards.
But I did find a work around.

I've put in comment the if that deletes the php.ini file if it exists.
Indicated with: ==>
And it looks like it worked


if (is_file($target)) {
symlink($target, $link);
}
}
//Create apache/apachex.y.z/bin/php.ini link to phpForApache.ini file of active version of PHP
$target = $c_phpVersionDir."/php".$php_version."/".$phpConfFileForApache;
$link = $c_apacheVersionDir."/apache".$wampConf['apacheVersion']."/".$wampConf['apacheExeDir']."/php.ini";
==> //if(is_file($link) || is_link($link)) {
==> // unlink($link);
==> //}
symlink($target, $link);
}

Thanks again for the help.
Now I wont have to give my admin password to 20 students.
Thanks!

Hi,

You have 3.0.0 and I give code for 3.0.4.

But you only have to replace symlink($target, $link) by copy($target, $link) two times.
