WampServer

Hi there, i have WAMP v1.70 installed on Vista, all services are running, during the install i let everything go to its default location..(i have NOT configured anything) now heres my problem..

No matter whether i am going to http//localhost/phpmyadmin/index.php through my browser (FF or IE) or whether im connecting through the wamp console the page is just blank and continually loading not even giving a timeout, isnt a firewall/router issue as i've also tested with them off..any ideas on a configurement i may need to implement..thanks for your time

Thanks for the reply CyberSpatium ,both services are running as normal..strange indeed

It sounds like firewalls issue.

In Vista, also have to check UAC and defender. Additions, some firewalls might still block the services even already disable. It takes me a while to setup wamp on Vista Premium on my laptop and Vista Business on my desktop.

I've given permissions through defender also disabled UAC , still no change just a forever loading page that doesnt even time out

Did you try to temporary uninstall firewalls?

yeah windows firewall was turned off, also router was disconnected just incase there was a clash in there, since then they are bot running with port 80 allowed freedom

So besides win firewall, do you have any 3-party such as Norton, ZoneAlarm, or any internet optimizer, so on? Remember, disable it is still get the problem, MUST UNINSTALL IT.

Better uninstall wamp, search and delete all related wampapache, wampmysql IN WINDOWS AND IN REGISTRY, then re-install wamp. If still having same problem, go to next suggestion.

To make it simple, here is the suggestion: right after setup User information on new desktop/laptop w/ win vista, don't install any application, but temporary disable windows firewall, windows defender, windows UAC; also if your new desktop/laptop comes w/ any apps, just temporary UNINSTALL all of them. So now you only have windows and wamp in your system. After testing it out to make sure everything is fine, re-enable firewall, defender, UAC and re-install all apps 1 by 1, and remember to test wamp after each installation, eventually, you would find out which app is the cause, and this is exactly what I did on both my new laptop w/ win vista premium and desktop w/ win vista business.

Have fun,

No wonder your saying " have fun"...lol ...just tried it out on my other unit..works fine, just dont fancy sitting at the desk all day long to use it though, I will try and slug away for a solution today, however if all else fails i will take on your advice and go for a clean run tomorrow and isolate what the conflict could be and keep this thread posted with he results, Thanks for your time yfastud..

Take me outside and kick me in the head, thing is its not recognising "localhost" typed into the browser, however the first time i type in "127.0.0.1" and voila, success first time...UrgggH!
thanks for your time contributers to this thread,

Hi i'm having the same problem but on XP... i'll give your suggestions a try *fingers crossed*

I've tried reinstalling WAMP after uninstalling and removing all wamp related entries from the registry.

I've tried running it w/ other apps running and also without other apps including the firewall... wondering if you had any ideas of where to go now? oO

As i said before i'm not running vista but XP, thank you in advance

make sure you do not have anything running that uses the same port as apache, such as skype or another webserver like iis or another version of apache.

I see well i've just tried running apache with nothing running and to no avail.

To elaborate on my problem. I can see the webpages fine in the browser with the url [localhost] however its when i go to run a php page that i encounter a blank page. Maybe this can help.

make sure you are using full php tags, not short tags

full tag:
<?php

short tag:
<?

Thanks for the help, i was using the full tags, however i'd accidently messed up some of the code... my bad. Sorry for all that i'm still a newbie to anything past html.

Once again thanks anyway
