Hi,
> As it turns out, the standard Wamp setup includes a default virtual host for c:\wamp\www
This as well as the need for VirtualHost will be explained in the new document "instructions_for_use.pdf/rtf" which will be implemented with the update 3.1.4, an update essential to be able to use PHP 7.3.0 which is now in RC1 version.
> It appears to be related either to the default port used by the browser when a port is not specified
The default port of the http protocol is port 80, so it is never specified in the url.
If, for various reasons, you are forced to use another port, two things are imperative:
- 1 - Change listening port by the Wampserver option
Right-Click wampmanager tray icon -> Tools -> Use a port other than 80
Performed in this way, the port change is done in all files where necessary. Whereas if you change it only - by hand - in the httpd.conf file, you will inevitably have problems.
- 2 - Always specify this listening port other than 80 in the url
For example : 'http://localhost:8080/'
- There is also the possibility to use listening ports in addition to port 80
Right-Click wampmanager tray icon -> Tools -> Add a listen port for Apache
- https is not supported “out of the box”.
Again, this implementation requires knowing what you are doing and why. To do so automatically is to face problems.
RiggsFolly has explanations on how to do it ( [

Wampserver is no exception to the rule that documentation is the poor part of developers.

Thanks. Throughout my professional life, I have mainly used English in reading and writing and rarely in speaking.
That's why it's better not to hear my "terrific French accent" which, despite everything, makes me smile now at the evocation of some memories when I was young and handsome, for example in a traineeship in the USA.
To remain sincere and not being as young and handsome as before, I try to simplify my life and sometimes I use
