WampServer

ok I have been reading the forums and going nuts trying to find what I messed up.
Let me say I am doing it on Vista.
So I need to know some info. I used the Guides at guides.jlbn.net. Fist I need to ask. What if I don't have other PC's on my LAN? What do I need to do to just set it up for the net.

I did get it as far as coming up on my home page www/yoursight/index.php
When I set the sight to use port 80. But But was not able to get people in the world to see it.
When I tried to use my home IP from [whereismyip.com] the page was not coming up.
Just a Internet Explorer cannot display the web page with no number.
When I changed the port to 81 or 8080 The Wampserver Config page was coming up.
"www/index.php" also still not getting the IP from [whereismyip.com] to work.

I also seen the post to fix int mcrypt error by making sure the PHP_Mcrypt was checked.
But when I did it the phpmyadmin page went nuts and was not letting me log in. And the next page came up with junk text. (boxes and stuff) So I guess the hole thing went to crap and so I am starting over.

So I hope someone can help me find when I am doing wrong.
I wanted to do the server so I can work on pages faster then from a host. And also let people see how for I am.

Also I have never chmod files on my own server. I always used a FTP. So how do you do it on here. I need to make some files 775

Thanks for the great program and any help I may get.

ok started to reinstall it and get it set up. But now phpmyadmin is coming up 403. I am going to pop soon!

Don't worry about this part. It had something to do with a security setting. I had the forethought to make a restore point before installing the program. For some reason Vista don't ask if you want to turn on some browser seatings and allow it past the fire wall when you reinstall. But the first post is still were I'm at.

did u allow the port in ur router?

yes. I also turned off all my fire walls off to make sure there is no other reason. Even the one in my Router.

ok can u tell me exactly what u have done now... so i know whats wrong . as id like to help


1. what is in ur httpd file for 'Listen' and 'Servername'

2. do you have a static ip?

3. is ur wampserver 'PUT ONLINE'

4. What is the url your using to connect to the server externally?

5. what did you fill into your router for port forwading?

6. locally is your page displaying?

I am reinstalling it now. But I ran into a problem. It's not stopping me. Just has me worried.
After I got dune with the password set up.
I logged out and came back, for some reason I can getting junk text in the username field.
jvFv�i|��aE8�
I can clear it and still log in. But guessing somethings wrong. lol
Also I did not find anything about Any user.
What I mean is were you see the 3 root users, I have 3 any users.


Any % -- USAGE No
Any localhost No USAGE No
Any production.mysql.com No USAGE No

Do do anything with them like put a pass on them?
I also checked the php_mcrypt. It's not in the guide. But guessing it's the only way to stop the error.
Hope that did not mess anything up.

add auser root with a password , and delete those three..


then fill in ur log in details into c:/wamp/apps/phpmaydmin
in the config.inc.php file


like this



$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'config'; // Authentication method (config, http or cookie based)?
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'root'; // MySQL user
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'password'; // MySQL password (only needed
// with 'config' auth_type)



make sure u have these 3 lines like this. chnge password to ur password

ok did it.
I deleted the 3 any users.

I still get the trash username.
jvFv�i|��aE8�

But I can clear it and log in as root.
Also I see that my logout in gone on the localhost/phpmyadmin/index.php

I also never got the sight to work on my Web IP.
I can get it to work on my lan IP.
When I change the port from 80 to 81or 8080 the web IP still don't work.
Also for some reason when I use 81 or 8080 my lan ip don't go to my main page.
"www/domain/index.php"
It goes to the localhost page.
"www/index.php"

I have all firewalls off.

Its not that simple to get it to work on ur external ip.



are u sure u have config in this line and not cookie

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'config'; // Authentication method (config, http or cookie based)?

cookie displays a box.. and u dont get a log out button as once u close window u log out


config signs in automatiacally. and has a log out button





what have u done to get it work externally? do u have a static ip? have u port forwarded in ur router?

ya now I can't log out of phpmyadmin at all. even when I restart my PC.
Also there is no logout button.

I have DSL so my IP don't change and I have no clue what port forword is.
In my router I made sure the firewall is off.

what version of phpmyadmin do u have?



dsl doesnt mean u have a static ip.. check ur ip on whatsmyip.com


then turn off router and back on ,, chack it on the site again and see if it changes,


make sure u go onto the webpage... in google search the ip showing is just a saved ip , its not urs

sorry i wrote this wrong. if you want to be able to sign in and out of phpmyadmin then u need to use cookie instead of config



$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'cookie'; // Authentication method (config, http or cookie based)?
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'root'; // MySQL user
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'yourpassword'; // MySQL password (only needed
// with 'config' auth_type)

also atthe top u need to type something into passphrase to encrypt ur password

$cfg['blowfish_secret'] = '';


type anything in there different to ur password.


then save
left click wamp icon , goto php , goto php extentions, and tick the php_mcrypt

then log in

Crap your right. I thoght when you had high speed you only have 1 IP.
Well gess that blocked me from having my own server.

I just hate useing host. To do what I can do here in an hr takes 2 or 3 on a host wating on the net and uplode times.

u can still use it.... u need a free program called no-ip from no-ip.com


it will update ur ip address continusly






did you make those changes to phpmyadmin?

ya I changed the phpmyadmin. I am not seeing the trash text anymore.

I am trying to read up on how IP's work.
I spotted this.
[portforward.com]

Don't know if it will work.
See the server I am making on my PC is just going to be a test server.
So I can make changes faster. The reason I need it to work on the web is just so some friends of mine can help me work on it.
After we get dune will upload it to the main server.
So if they can just get to it from an IP thats fine. I do have domain names that I can change the IP/DNS info on. But not sure that will be needed.

"oh and thanks for helping me with all this."

no this tuturial is for internal ips.


i reccommned no-ip or dyndns


u download a tiny program that looks at ur ip and updates their site with it so people go to ur url which they supply free or if u have on own u can use it.


goto dyndns.com and have a read , should be easy to do. u will problably have to set up a port forward in ur router if wen u try it , it doesnt work.


make sure u left click ur wamp icon and press 'PUT ONLINE' so its accessable to outside use.

I went with no-ip. I payed for the No-IP Enhanced.
$5 for a year. lol

Not sure what I need.

DNS Host (A)
DNS Host (Round Robin)
DNS Alias (CNAME)
Port 80 Redirect
Web Redirect

I am going to start with A and work myself down.
But I realy have no idea how to set up my files now. So I will be playing with that also. lol

u didnt need to pay?!! its free... for the basic one

lol


anyway ul be using the port 80 redirect


set up a free domain that they offer u. install the software.. and see wat happens,.


basically this is wat u want..


ur computer has an external ip

noip software checks it and if it changes updates their website.... then they mask it with a url



so wen ur friend types in www.yoururl@np-ip.com they will change it into ur ip address and change the request to port 8080 for u


this is beacuase most likely port 80 will be blocked by ur ISP



TRY HOST(A) but i think it wont work because of this.




anyway they will add 8080 to ur ip then it ur router u change the 8080 back to an 80 and ur server will see it then..


so a port forward will be needed in the router, sometimes called a pin hole


ul need it like this

port range
8080 -8080

tcp

internal port 80

ip address(maybe) 192.168.1.xx what ever ur computers internal ip is





if u get stuck justask,, can sound complicated
