WampServer

I have an old version of WAMP that is running fine at the moment, on an old machine behind a router.

I want to leave that running, whilst I develop a new website on a new machine, connected to the same router, using a new version of WAMP.

Does anybody have a set by step solution.

Hi,

Install a new release of Wampserver

---------------------------------------------------------------
Documentation Apache - Documentation PHP - Documentation MySQL - Wampserver install files & addons

That went nice and smooth. Onto the next problem.

My old WAMP is running on port 80. Router is setup for port forwarding 192.168.0.3 to port 80 TCP protocol. Everything works fine. httpd.conf is setup for port 80 etc with a virtualhost.

However new PC with new WAMP on it does not work. Port selected is 7777. Router is setup for port forwarding 192.168.0.7 port 7777 TCP protocol. httpd.conf is setup for port 7777 with a different virtualhost. Windows 10 firewall has an inbound rule setup for port 7777

localhost:7777 does not work, neither does the virtualhost

Any ideas or tips.

Did you use the mqnu item on wampmanager to amend the Apache port number, or did you do it manually?

I would suggest using the menu

(right click ) wampmanager -> Tools -> Use port other than 80

Then we had better see your httpd-vhosts.conf file just to check

I assigned port number manually, as I cannot find any where to do it using wampmanager. All I can do is to test port 80 ?

Just installed Wampserver 3.0.3

I now see where you can wampmanager -> Apache -> Use port other than 80

I will have to do that tomorrow, as I off to bed.

Please upgrade your install to WAMPServer3.0.9

You can get that here [wampserver.aviatechno.net]

problem is that there is no where that you can test port 7777. It is only capable of testing 80 and 3306.

Do I have to remove all references to port 80 in httpd.conf ??

Localhost seems to work fine.

Hi,

> problem is that there is no where that you can test port 7777. It is only capable of testing 80 and 3306.

First, you choose port 7777 as port other than 80 and, after, you can test port 7777.
It is always possible to go back by choosing a port other than 7777 it it does not work.

If you used the Tool menu to change the port number, then it also ADDS another TEST PORT menu for the port you have switched it to.

Use the Tool and the tool will help you out.

Even though I have setup router Port Forwarding Rule - port 7777, protocol TCP, ip address 192.168.0.7

I get

***** Test which uses port 7777 *****

Any ideas please.

Hi,

You are testing from inside your network, so what has a router's port forwarding got to do with anything?

Or am I missing something

This is strange. I changed port to a random port, then back to 7777, and I get a green icon - All services running. But still localhost and website does not work.

In testing port 7777 I get the following.

Do we assume that you are using the port number on all urls?

i.e. `localhost:7777`

Hi,
You need to call localhost by 'http://localhost:7777/'

I think we are getting somewhere now.

As I can get [localhost] to come up with the WAMPSERVER page.

Also I can get [localhost] to show phpmyadmin and all of my databases.

I can also get [localhost] to display on screen some demo text.

But I just cannot get into my website at [www.fruitnuttrees.co.uk] (which is on this new computer).

It still directs me to my old computer, even thou I have # out the virtual host for this site.

I have rebooted old computer a number of times. i do not have web forwarding set for that domain name
