WampServer

I have just made a clean install of Wampserver 2.0
When I goto localhost, click on one of my projects I get a list of my files and folders. In this version of wamp it can no longer find the icons for folders and files (shown on the left) and just shows the red cross image.

Note for my development purposes I don't use an index.html until the final stages, I much prefer to execute my applications by browsing the directories.

No big problem, but I like my icons... can anyone help me find them again?

He he... he he... ;-)

This problem is solved, scroll down for solution ;-)

YESSSSSS !! SOLVED !!

---Quick steps---
Edit the following file manually and change the path to the icons folder (it appears 2 times in the file)
File to edit:
\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.2.6\conf\extra\httpd-autoindex.conf
Change the paths:
C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/icons/
With your (adapt it to your directory installation) :
D:/wamp/bin/apache/apache2.2.6/icons/

---If you want to know more---
As the path of the non working images/icons were like: ttp://localhost/icons/text.gif
i tryed to create a new Alias to the /icons/ dir, but it didn't work ... sad ...

My apache error.log always said : "[error] [client 127.0.0.1] client denied by server configuration: C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation" but i did never install any apache to this location ... so I searched the whole wamp directories and subdirs the files containing the words "Apache Software Foundation" and "icons" and here was the KEY !

I found the file
"D:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.2.6\conf\extra\httpd-autoindex.conf" that contains the "Directives controlling the display of server-generated directory listings."

I Just edited the file manually and replaced the original paths by mines (it appears 2 times in the file)

I replaced the paths:
C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/icons/

By mines (adapt it to your directory installation) :
D:/wamp/bin/apache/apache2.2.6/icons/


And all seems working fine !!
Pfffww ! near 2 hours searching for so little thing !!

---Thanx to all the wamp team for giving us such a nice app !!---

Absolutely spot on... that solved my problem straight away.
Thanks for posting and solving a small but irritating problem

Thanks a lot for solving this error/problem...

And another thanks!

I am running Apache on port 100 because I have IIS on the default port 80. So I figured that you need to do this if you are also using a different port for Apache -

[1] Copy the icons folder from apache2.2.22/ to c:/wamp/www/ (or wherever your wamp/www/ folder is).
[2] In the file apache2.2.22/conf/extra/httpd-autoindex.conf comment the default Alias line using # like this -
#Alias /icons/ "c:/apache2/icons/"
[3] Then add a dummy alias line (dummy could be anything) -
Alias /dummy/ "c:/dummy"
[4] Restart all services using the Wamp menu

With this my icons started showing. Hope this help folks using a port different than 80 for Apache.

Thanks @rip_pit, So simple to Solve, thanks for you time invested finding this issue.

Regards !!

you're welcome happy to help

Of course theres always the correct way?

Uncomment this line in httpd.conf

# Fancy directory listings
Include conf/extra/httpd-autoindex.conf

Edit \wamp\bin\apache\apache.x.y.z\conf/extra/httpd-autoindex.conf

Change this line ( the default apache config, to the wamp apache config )

Alias /icons/ "c:/Apache2/icons/"

To the location of the icons file that comes with apache

Alias /icons/ "c:/wamp/bin/apache/apache.x.y.z/icons"

And also this line from

<Directory "c:/Apache2/icons">

To

<Directory "c:/wamp/bin/apache/apache.x.y.z/icons">

Then of course make sure the following Apache modules are activated

mod_autoindex, mod_alias

i.e uncomment the LoadModule lines for those modules in httpd.conf
