WampServer

Hi,

I have just installed WAMP and it works great in admin account. But when I use user account, neither Apache or MySQL can be used.

Could anyone show me some guide to use WAMP by user account?

Thank you very much

you need admin level privileges to run apache and mysql

Hi,

Both the Apache and MySQL server run as a service under Windows. If you look at the Control Panel - Administrative Tools - Services, you will find that both wampapache and wampmysqld log in as the Local System account.

It is necessary to have administrative privilege to access the WAMP icon in the System Tray, but as long as the PC is running, Apache and MySQL servers run without anyone having to be logged in, because they run as services.

If you use MySQL from the command line, you need to have a username and password to at least one of the databases. The same applies to PHP command line interface (CLI) scripts, if they access database tables - the script will need to present the username and the password to the MySQL server in the connect() command.
