WampServer

I have downloaded WAMP 1.6.5 and iot will not connect to


local host
myphpadmin
or anything

Any help would be appreciated

Hello Star, try this:

1. Look in the WAMP tray icon and make sure the Apache service has started.
2. Open your web browser and try going to: [localhost]
3. If that doesn't do anything, check in the WAMP tray icon for any error logs.

hello thank you for your reply I can now access localhost but not phpadmin

Getting closer but not quiet there yet

What does all this mean

OK up-date I can get into localhost and my learning php files that I bought from Llynda.com
recommend the CD to all. But still cannot access myphpadmin I know I have to ccreate a database but I cannot get into it to create a user or edit permissions.

Any help would be appreciated

Thank you

Update #2

Can now get into localhost and see the wamp home page yippeeeeeeeee

but I cannot get into phpadmin I get the following error

phpMyAdmin - Error

Cannot load mysql extension. Please check your PHP configuration. - Documentation

Now what am I checking for and where do I find it.

Using windows xp sp2 and wamp 1.6.5

Weekend nearly here and would love to get started on re-designing my web site

Hi Star, check the bottom of the MySQL Error Log file for any relevant info. Also make sure the MySQL service is running just like the Apache service. Both services need to be running for PHPMyAdmin to run properly.

If you continue to receive "cannot load MySQL extension" then perhaps it is simply not loaded. Look under the WAMP menu, PHP Settings, then slide over to PHP Extensions. PHP_MYSQL and PHP_MYSQLI should both have little arrows next to them indicating they are loaded. If they do not, try clicking on each to enable them. Then try PHPAdmin again.

If there are no PHP_MYSQL and PHP_MYSQLI extensions listed, let us know.

You're very close! :-)

how did u move from not getting in phpMyAdmin to making it available please?
I'm facing the same problem, thank you

what error(s) are you receiveing (please also include any error code)?
