WampServer

Hello,

As the topic says I'm trying to get it to work. I copied old PHP 5.3.10 from one of the older versions and was ableto fix error up this one with apache:
[11-Oct-2017 04:35:22 UTC] Apache variable "${INSTALL_DIR}" is not defined.

Any idea how to fix it?

Hi,

> I copied old PHP 5.3.10 from one of the older versions
NO.

Install addon wampserver3_x86_addon_php5.3.10.exe

Do not forget that before installing the PHP addon 5.3.10, you must return to the initial state before the folder is copied.

Hello,

Thank you! That's what I was missing. Somehow I never came across that in my searches.

Another question, I've created virtualhost ie. "johny.com" and my folder resides in C:\wamp\www\johny.com
when I open it in the browser ie. [url]http://johny.com[/url] it opens but not www.johny.com
Tried adding www.johny.com to the hosts file but its not doing anything.
Any idea?

TIA!

Hi,

If the ServerName is johny.com the url of the site is 'http://johny.com/'

If you want it can be also opened as 'http://www.johny.com/' you need to add a ServerAlias directive in the VirtualHost
ServerAlias www.johny.com

Remember that in order for VirtualHost changes to take effect, you must restart Apache
- Left-Clcik Wampmanager tray icon -> Apache -> Service administration -> Restart service

Remember that for changes to the hosts file to take effect, you must restart the DNS.
- Right-Click -> Tools -> Restart DNS

Thanks again for the reply!

So in C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.27\conf\extra\httpd-vhosts.conf I added as suggested just below ServerName

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName johny.com
ServerAlias www.johny.com

but it would not open simple image file ie. [www.johny.com]
I made sure and restarted DNS, Apache and all other services.

It worked only after I added 127.0.0.1 www.johny.com
to hosts file: C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts

My question is, did I do it right by modifying hosts file?
