WampServer

I have just installed 3.1.9_x64 (in d:\wamp64) after removing a previous version.All the services are running. I can start phpMyAdmin and carry out actions there, but selecting localhost in the WAMP menu (or trying to run a php file in my www folder) leads to a (Firefox) message that connection cannot be made.

I note the following:

The WAMP menu offers the choice of five versions of php (5.6.40, 7.0.33, 7.1.29, 7.2.18 and 7.3.5); 7.2.18 is selected (selecting 7.3.5. doesn't help)


php_error.log contains an entry (actually repeated three additional times): "[19-Jun-2019 18:26:24 UTC] PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'curl' (tried: d:/wamp64/bin/php/php7.2.18/ext/curl (Kan opgegeven module niet vinden.), d:/wamp64/bin/php/php7.2.18/ext/php_curl.dll (Kan opgegeven module niet vinden.)) in Unknown on line 0" php_curl.dll is however present in d:\wamp64\bin\php\php7.2.18\ext. "Kan opgegeven module niet vinden"= Cannot find specified module.
.

Hi,

PhpMyAdmin is 'http://localhost/phpmyadmin/'

What is the exact error message from Firefox ?

Hello,

PROBLEM LOADING PAGE

Unable to connect

Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost.

The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

(Button) Try again.

Hi,

> Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost.
And yet, with PhpMyAdmin, Firefox does establish a connection with localhost! 'http://localhost/phpmyadmin/'

Check with the Windows firewall and/or Firefox settings.

After removing everything and reinstalling I see that localhost is found immediately after installation, but the problem occurs when I repopulate my www folder from backup. I shall now start again and selectively add files to my www; this should emable me to discover the problem.

Hi,

DO NOT place your site into the www folder, it is used by WAMPServer.
Instead add a subfolder lets say www\project1 and place your stuff in there.

Then create a Virtual Host to point to the folder See

Thank you! Everything running fine now.The root cause turned out to be the inclusion of the following in my .htaccess coppied (bad idea!) from my remote publically visible website:

####CUSTOM_HEADER####
##------Forceer HTTPS verbinding geheel domein------##
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^/?(.*) []%{SERVER_NAME}/$1 [R,L]
######CUSTOM_TAILER####
