WampServer

Hi

I have just installed the latest WampServer from this website. But when I view the index.php file I get the following Notices at the top of my page:

Notice: Undefined variable: aliasContents in C:\wamp\www\index.php on line 178

Notice: Undefined variable: projectContents in C:\wamp\www\index.php on line 193

Notice: Undefined variable: phpExtContents in C:\wamp\www\index.php on line 204

Does anyone know why this has happened?

Thanks

If your problem still exist after restarting wamp, your index file or might be whole wamp is corrupted while installing; you might want to uninstall and reinstall it

Thanks for your suggestion.

I did try un-installing it and re-installing it again but I still get the same 'Notice' messages.

I guess it shouldn't be too much of a concern then right? As ran my test database and it appears to be working ok.

I remember it happens to someone before, but not sure about the solution. Anyway, try different browser to see if you duplicate the same error or not

Ok well if the solution comes back to you? Please do let me know....

And just tried opening the link in IE and still the same messages.

I will see if anything else pops up with this installation I have.

I had the same problem here what you can (must) do :

Edit the file index.php

1.Modify the path in the line :
$wampConfFile = '../wampmanager.conf';
Write the full path to the file (not relative path)
For me it gives :
$wampConfFile = 'D:/wamp/wampmanager.conf';

2.Modify the path in the line :
$aliasDir = '../alias/';
Write the full path to the the alias folder
For me it gives :
$aliasDir = 'D:/wamp/alias/';

It should fix the problem.

Thanks for that.

Will try it out if I get those 'Notices' on my index.php page again, as for some reason they have disappeared.

Hello,

I am getting a similar error while opening [localhost] in my browser.

- Notice: Undefined variable: aliasContents in C:\wamp\www\index.php on line 178

- Notice: Undefined variable: phpExtContents in C:\wamp\www\index.php on line 204

What do you suggest?

Thanks in advance!

it is errors but only notices.
I doesn't block the script but a notice to be corrected.
To correct it, manually edit the file index.php and declare the faulty vars:

in line 171, add something like this:
$aliasContents = '';

After that, in line 189:
$projectContents = '';

then 205:
$phpExtContents = '';


Or you can just change the error_reporting variable in php.ini to don't report Notices.

Thank you rip_pit. It works perfectly after correcting it with your guidance.

There are no more notices.

Cheers,
Swarup

This Notice is very common so it seems. Usually when a variable is used but not set with a value. There are also problems when you set a variable value, yet you don't use that variable anywhere in your application.

I followed these steps but used 'C:/wamp...' instead and still get the errors.

can't be !

if your wamp installation folder is c:/wamp then it should work fine.

# For wampconfFile, you must wrote:
$wampConfFile = 'C:/wamp/wampmanager.conf'; #(with slashes and not antislashes) to tell wamp where he can locate the so called "wampmanager.conf" file on your drives.

if not, look in the logs if nothing else is wrong (open with notepad) :
C:\wamp\logs\php_error.log
C:\wamp\logs\apache_error.log

//chemin jusqu'au fichier de conf de WampServer
$wampConfFile = 'C:/wamp/wampmanager.conf';

//chemin jusqu'aux fichiers alias
$aliasDir = 'C:/wamp/alias/';


This is exactly what I have in there and it is still causing the error.

what's in the logs ?

Stuff like that.

lol! this loggued notices aren't related to the config file vars:
$wampConfFile = 'C:/wamp/wampmanager.conf';
$aliasDir = 'C:/wamp/alias/';
are not faulty here ...

The following will correct the notices, the answer is already given at the top of this thread :
in line 171, add something like this:
$aliasContents = '';

After that, in line 189 add:
$projectContents = '';

then 205 add:
$phpExtContents = '';
