Hi,
After installation, there is a document that outlines the use of Wampserver:
wamp/instructions_for_use.pdf
It is not part of my role to be a teacher. Users of any server (Wamp, Xamp, EasyPHP, IIS and others) should be aware that when installing a server (a web server, a database server, PHP language and SQL queries), they are taking on different roles:
- Network administrator
- Web server administrator
- Database Administrator
- Developer
- Analyst
- Programmer.
- etc.
All the necessary documentation exists (Apache, PHP, MySQL, MariaDB, PhpMyAdmin, etc.) and is even indicated by links in Wampserver.
It is the users' responsibility to consult these documents and to learn, try and correct them according to these documents.
Our parents spent hours and hours teaching us to go to the potty when we were in our infancy, because knowing how to use the toilet is an essential skill in society.
Our teachers have spent months and years teaching us to read, write and count.
In secondary school, we spent many months learning one or more foreign languages.
By majority, even after hours of accompanied driving, it took at least twenty hours of training to "know" how to drive a car.
I spent four years of apprenticeship before practicing my profession, then five years at the Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers (National Conservatory of Arts and Crafts) to perfect my knowledge and skills.
Nevertheless, popular belief would have us all be computer wizards at a stroke of a magic wand.
As long as we do not firmly explain that computing (yes, it is very general but...) is like reading, writing, counting, like a language or a culture: you have to learn and practice for a long time to "use" it correctly, everyone will think they are a computer scientist from the moment they use Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, Google, and at 2% of the possibilities, Word, Excel or Powerpoint.
The popular belief is also that everything should arrive immediately, ready, without any effort.
Well NO, you have to make an effort and spend time learning. If users don't want to do it, it's their problem, but in no way it's mine.
One last tip: "default-storage-engine=MYISAM" in my.ini does not mean that you are not allowed to create tables with the InnoDB engine.
