Hi.
I also was getting heaps of errors with WAMP. In the end I gave up, uninstalled the whole thing, and tried this other page:
[
www.php-mysql-tutorial.com]
As a result I had Apache, php and MySQL installed and working withing about 2 hours. The fact it took 2 hours and not 20 minutes, was because I was installing the latest stable versions of all 3 softwares, and obviously the instructions are not completetly up to date. There are 1 or 2 things which aren´t quite clear in this guy´s instructions:
Apache installations was pretty easy, I just followed the instructions.
When it came to php, one thing which wasn´t quite clear to me was that he installs his php in a directory called php within Apache2. So the best thing to do is, after Apache is installed, create a subdirectory withing Apache2 called Php, and empty the php .zip file into that.
When he speaks of moving the php4ts.dll file, obviously you have to move the php5ts.dll file, as you´ll be installing php 5, not 4. Another thing was I never found the sapi subdirectory I was supposed to move the php5ts.dll file to, so I followed the alternative suggestion, which is to put it in Apache2\bin.
Right. Given that modification, the 3 lines you have to add into http.conf, at any rate in my case, read like this:
LoadModule php5_module php/php5apache2.dll
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
After that, I had to install MySQL. As far as I remember, it was actually simpler than this guy makes out, because if you want it to run as a service there is some box you tick, it the installer does it for you.
Well, that´s all I can remember. I think this guy´s page is a lot better than WAMP, as you´ll be getting the latest stable versions of everything.
Good luck.
