WampServer

Hi,
I already have Wamp5 installed on Windows XP to conduct local testing of Joomla and it works great for that program. I also am interested in testing Zen Cart and thought that since I already have Wamp5 installed I would try and install Zen Cart on it. However it appears that there are a couple of things that are set to "off" that Zen Cart needs to run correctly. The error messages I get are as follows

PHP GD Support = OFF

PHP cURL Support = OFF

PHP Output Buffering (gzip) = OFF

Is there a way to activate these in the PHP that Wamp5 provides or do they need to be compiled in?

Thanks for your help,
doglover

if you have wamp installed you can do this with the wamp tray icon menu. start wamp if it is not already started. left click on the wamp tray icon:

to enable gd2 click on:
wamp tray icon -> php settings -> php extensions -> php_gd2

to enable curl click on:
wamp tray icon -> php settings -> php extensions -> php_curl

to enable output buffering click on:
wamp tray icon -> php settings -> output buffering

after you make these changes wamp will automatically restart apche to make the new settings take effect.

if you do not have wamp installed, you will need to edit your php.ini file manually. open your php.ini file.

to enable gd2 support find:
;extension=php_gd2.dll

remove the simicolon at the begging of that line to enable it, so change it to:
extension=php_gd2.dll

to enable curl find:
;extension=php_curl.dll

change to:
extension=php_curl.dll

to enable support for output buffering find:
output_buffering = Off

change to
output_buffering = On

save the file restart apache for the new settings to take effect.
