WampServer

I have been using now Wampserver for over 10 years. Recently I decided to do an upgrade from 2.5 to 3 but unfortunately it's just not working out for me.

I have tried several online tutorials and I have even tried several tutorials on here going through threads but none seem to work so far. I never had such a problem with earlier versions of Wamp but Wampserver 3 I just can't for the life of me seem to get the website showing on the web.

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Hi,

It would still be necessary to understand what you would like to do.
So, start with READ (and answer) BEFORE YOU ASK A QUESTION

Then explain exactly what your problem is.

And, thirdly, I would like to say that Wampserver is designed to be a development server and that if some people want to make it a production server, it is in full knowledge of the facts, i.e. it is not Wampserver that must replace the skills required to do so, especially if the person who wants to make it a production server does not use a Windows Server version and a DNS server.

For now until someone responds here in this thread, I will continue to run 2.5 as it works online as a production server.

Hi,

If your hosts file is empty, it means that your VirtualHost is not well defined because you did not activate the DNS server.

Have you read The need for Virtual Host

Hi, yes my hosts file was one of the first things done DNS was restarted right after. Any other methods to get this site online?

Hi,

If your hosts file is empty you don't have a DNS.

Otomatic,yes my hosts file is there, what is the final step to put wampserver online. Thanks!

My hosts file has the information, what is the next step to get this online.

Hi,

With "Require all granted" there is authorization for access from the outside.
You should also check with your firewall to see if external connections are allowed and with your router to possibly perform port forwarding.

But "canadacommunity.org" as a ServerName will be a problem, since this site already exists on the Internet.

Otomatic Hi

Yes i have Require all granted in virtual hosts for the servername

Actually canadacommunity.org I own and iright now ts running off wamp 2.5 live and i want to get running with wamp 3

Thanks

Hi,

External access should work by typing, in the browser address bar:
'http://ip-wan/canadacommunity.org/

ip-wan being the internet IP address of the PC on which your site is hosted.
This cannot be done from the same PC on which the site is hosted.

Otomatic Hi

I am desperately wanting to put this online with wampserver 3 so far no luck.

Registered: 11/21/2007 04:17AM

I think at this point I have tried everything, im open and willing to activate teamviewer or anydesk, and allow someone to play around with wamopserver 3 to get me online,

Thanks!

Hi,

I dont think Oto provides remote fixing, but I have in the past.

I am rather busy right now, but I could possibly have a look with TeamViewer at some point in the next couple of days, otherwise it will have to be next week.

I am in the UK so I am on UTC+1. If you can find a time during my evenings I may be available.

If this sounds ok, give me a couple of times when you can also be available and we will see if we cannot get together.

Once we have arranged a time, you can send me a "Private Message" (see menu above) and send me your TeamViewer ID and Password.

RiggsFolly Hi

That is very nice of you! Sure we can always set a time where your free and take it from there.

Can you send me your TeamViewer ID and Password using a Private Message when you also have some time.

Words cannot express how grateful I am for your help today. You were there for 4 hours. Thank you for everything that you've done to help me. Hopefully someday we will get this figured out!

Ok UPDATE

I took out the folder php 7.2 out of wam64 version 3.14 and placed into the wamp 2.5 version.
The only thing i had to do was edit the php.ini file replace all links with wamp64 rwith wamp.
The PHP is updated and it seems to be working, just fine.


They say php 5.5 upgraded to 7.2 is 250% overall faster.


Im still waiting to upgrade wamp version 2.5 with 3.14 but i guess for now ill be fine.

Thank You
