WampServer

Hi there, I downloaded WAMP a couple of weeks ago and have created a website on my C-drive.

I now want to shift it to Dropbox so that I can work on it on two computers. Is that possible? If so, how?

Cheers!

The simplest solution:

1. Backup your databases !important
2. Backup your site(s). !important

3. Uninstall WAMPServer
4. Reinstall WampServer (the same versions of MYSQL and Apahce and PHP) onto the Dropbox folder somewhere
5. Restore your databases and Site(s) to the new location.

On the other PC, create a shortcut on the desktop from the dropbox\wamp folder of wampmanager.exe

a. Run Wampserver
b. Using the wampmanager menus to install Apache and MYSQL services do
- left click wampmanager icon -> Apache -> Service Administration -> Install Service
- left click wampmanager icon -> MYSQL -> Service Administration -> Install Service
c. Start the services
- left click wampmanager icon -> Start all Services


BIG NOTE:
Remember you cannot be developing on both PC at the same time.

1. MySQL will get in a real mess if you try and affect databases from 2 DIFFERENT instances at the same time. Tables will not get properly locked etc during updates.
2. Changing the same code file from 2 PC will also just cause you problems with duplicate changes


Good Luck
