WampServer

Hello,
Here are some details about my system:

1 - Windows 10 (64 bits)
2 - Version WampServer = 3.0.0 (64 bit)
File downloaded=wampserver3_x64_apache2.4.17_mysql5.7.9_php5.6.16_php7.0.0
3 - Apache Version = 2.4.17
4 - PHP Version = 5.6.16
5 - MySQL Version = 5.7.9
6 - The color is the WampServer icon is green
8 - I have access to localhost (Homepage WampServer)

9 - I do NOT have access to phpMyAdmin
10 - At the bottom of Homepage WampServer there is the following error message:
*** ERROR *** The PHP configuration loaded file is: - should be: W:/wamp64/bin/apache/apache2.4.17/bin/php.ini or w:/wamp64/bin/php/php5.6.16/phpforapache.ini
11 - I use Sophos Protection antivirus and Windows Firewall

12 - The full path to the installation of WampServer = W:\wamp64
W is seen by Windows 10 as a local disk, it is an on-the-fly-encrypted volume
(data storage device) created with VeraCrypt. This same solution works fine in another machine I have with Windows 7 and WampServer 2.4
13 - I haven't defined any Virtual Host

Here is a list of solutions I have already tried


1) To create a symbolic link does not work:
W:\wamp64\bin\apache\apache2.4.17\bin>mklink php.ini w:\wamp64\bin\php\php5.6.16\phpForApache.ini
gives the following error:
The device does not support symbolic links.

2) Make a copy of
W:\wamp64\bin\php\php5.6.16\phpForApache.ini
to
W:\wamp64\bin\apache\apache2.4.17\bin\php.ini
NET STOP wampapache64
NET STOP wampmysqld64

NET START wampapache64
NET START wampmysqld64

is fine, phpMyAdmin starts working, but when I restart my machine and re-run wampserver the file W:\wamp64\bin\apache\apache2.4.17\bin\php.ini is automatically deleted.

If I install wampserver on the C drive, it works fine, but I need to install it on an encrypted volume.

Many thanks
Antonella

Hi,

> *** ERROR *** The PHP configuration loaded file is: -
> should be: W:/wamp64/bin/apache/apache2.4.17/bin/php.ini ...

Wampmanager Tray Icon (Even if not green)
- Apache -> Version -> 2.4.17 (Click on 2.4.17 even if already checked)
- PHP -> Version -> 5.6.16 (Click on 5.6.16 even if already checked)

With Wampserver 3.0.4 this,ios done with
- Right-Click Wampmanager Tray icon -> Refresh

This wil create all needed symbolic links.

Thank you, but it doesn't work, the Wampmanager Tray Icon does not appear unless I copy manually the php.ini file which is then automatically deleted. As I wrote in my post, the device does not support symbolic links, so even with the refresh the behavior is the same.

Any other ideas, please?

As of WAMPServer 2.5 we moved to using SYMLINKS so if your device will not allow the use of SYMLINKS then you will have to install WAMPServer ona device that does.

Hi,

> As I wrote in my post, the device does not support symbolic links. Any other ideas, please?
Yes.
Use a « normal » device that support symbolic links. If you want to use an encrypted volume, don't use Wampserver.
