WampServer

Working on a localhost site with a fresh install of WAMP64. Changed c:/wamp64/www to F:/Sites/ and now have the following errors that I can't make heads or tails of....

Warning: require(../scripts/config.inc.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in F:\Sites\add_vhost.php on line 10

and

Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required '../scripts/config.inc.php' (include_path='.;C:\php\pear') in F:\Sites\add_vhost.php on line 10

I'm lost here. Any help would definitely be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,

Wampserver has never been defined or presented as a portable application.

On a related zany note, why don't you try replacing c:\windows\system32 with c:\MySystem?

For your local sites, you have to use the VitualHost, as with all hosting providers, and there, you can put your sites wherever you want, even in G:\Sites
See :
The need for Virtual Host
and
Wampserver 3 - Create or add a VirtualHost

Thanks for answering and for the helpful links but still dealing with the error messages that I have no answer for...not even what the messages are saying or most importantly what they want me to do?

Please describe EXACTLY HOW and WHERE you did Changed c:/wamp64/www to F:/Sites/

Went to httpd.conf and changed DocumentRoot "${INSTALL_DIR}/www"
<Directory "${INSTALL_DIR}/www/"> to DocumentRoot "F:/Sites/"
<Directory "F:/Sites/">.
Then I went to httpd-vhosts.conf and entered the following:
# Virtual Hosts
#
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName localhost
ServerAlias localhost
DocumentRoot "F:/Sites/"
<Directory "F:/Sites/">
Options +Indexes +Includes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Require local
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>


#
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName mr-sport
DocumentRoot "Fites/mr-sport"
<Directory "F:/Sites/mr-sport/">
Options +Indexes +Includes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Require local
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Hope this helps you help me. Thanks.

So UNDO this bit. All you need to do is create a VirtualHosts, that VH can live on the moon if you like you DONT need to change the base setting. THATS THE POINT OF A Virtual Host

<Directory "${INSTALL_DIR}/www/"> to DocumentRoot "F:/Sites/"
<Directory "F:/Sites/">.

Then return the VH for locahost to its original glory

<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerName localhost
  ServerAlias localhost
  DocumentRoot "${INSTALL_DIR}/www"
  <Directory "${INSTALL_DIR}/www/">
    Options +Indexes +Includes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
    AllowOverride All
    Require local
  </Directory>
  #ErrorDocument 404 /missing.html
</VirtualHost>

Leave the `mr-sport` VH as it is and you will have a site called `mr-sport` that will be served from your F drive folder.

Did as instructed only to now get 2 out of 3 services running (no green light)?

OK, so which service is not running, I expect its Apache.
Look in the error log \wamp64\logs
and if not there check the Windows Event Viewer for any recent errors form Apache or MySQL or mariaDB

This is what I have installed per your instructions, followed by the error message I got from Apache.

<Directory "${INSTALL_DIR}/www/"> to DocumentRoot "F:/Sites/"
<Directory "F:/Sites/">.

I found my mistake. Changed the following and now everything works. Thank you so much for your help. It is very much appreciated.

DocumentRoot "F:/Sites/"
<Directory "F:/Sites/">.

Sincerely,
John

Hi,

Since Apache 2.4.41, the files httpd.conf and httpd-vhosts.conf as they were just after the installation of Wampserver are archived in :
wamp(64)\bin\apache\apache2.4.4x\conf\original\wampserver\httpd.conf
wamp(64)\bin\apache\apache2.4.4x\conf\original\wampserver\httpd-vhosts.conf
