WampServer

Everything works after the installation of WAMP, but I can't get a connection to the database by using phpMyAdmin-setup.

I have another server on my machine, wich uses port 80. ASP on ISS.

In httpd.conf I've set: Listen port 8080, not port 80. This way I can get all services running. Is this wrong?

In phpmyadmin-setup, under serverhostname, I can not write localhost or localhost:8080. Is there an alternative name?

mysql listens by default to port 3306 .
This has nothing to do with the http protocol.

this tiny config.inc.php :
<?php
$cfg['PmaAbsoluteUri'] = 'http://www.your_web.net:8080/path_to_your_phpMyAdmin_directory/';
$i = 1;
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'http';
?>
should give you a nice login popup.

Read this link and it worked!

If you're more comfortable w/ IIS, you might consider to have php and mysql add-on to IIS instead running 2 servers which will cause you some conflict later; however, if you're still interested in 2 servers, check my old post here:

[forum.wampserver.com]

phpmyadmin is gui for mysql running on port 3306 which has nothing to do w/ either port 80 or 8080, so make sure you don't have any other db server running on that same port 3306

if you get error stated "can't load db extension...", just enable php_mysqli through wamp tray icon

Have fun,
