WampServer

Hi there,

Have installed WAMP many times before. Just installed 3.0.6 32 bit and when installing a BackUpBuddy file, I am getting the following error:

One or more potential problems may have been found:
A URL found in one or more locations in wp-config.php was not migrated as it was either not recognized or in an unrecognized location in the file: "[localhost]; (this may not be a problem!).

A php.ini file was restored in the import process in the site root. This may cause problems with site functionality if imported to a different server as configuration options often differ between servers, possibly resulting in degraded performance or unexpected behavior.

Browsing to localhost will return the Wampserver local screen.

I have 99% of the time passed WordPress sites from live to local etc using BackUpBuddy as it's easier for me, and I am only getting this problem since I upgraded to WAMP 3.

Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Cheers

Carl

Hi

Did you create an Apache Virtual Host for the site to be installed into? [forum.wampserver.com]

But in general, we dont have any WordPress experts lurking on this site, so you may get more help on the WordPress help site.

Thanks for replying RiggsFolly,

I managed to figure out what it was, so I'll document it here in case anyone else has similar..

I had to edit the WordPress .htaccess file and the PHP.ini

.htaccess

Removed all the following:

PHP.ini


Had to remove the following line:

AddType x-httpd-php56 .php



Hopefully that may help someone else.. :-)

Cheers guys.

PS: I really do web stuff part time now, I am 50 now and for the last 6 years after getting made redundant (thank god) from a great IT company, I moved back into music which is what I really love. So, I only have a little bit of interest in web stuff, otherwise I guess I'd be properly motivated etc.. LOL
