WampServer

I have WAMP5 and when I installed it a few years ago I had to uninstall IIS or else WAMP would not work.

I am now contemplating about upgrading to WampServer2 and wondered if it can reside along with IIS? (of course as seperate entities)

Thanks.

no it cant. both use port 80. and iis will have priority to the port. wamp will work if you switch it to another port but then ul need to use h ttp://localhost:port all the time

I've made the change to be port 8080 but it still didn't work. I did change both Listen and ServerName. I then exited WAMP and restarted and the status states this:

"1 of 2 services running"

Normally it will show that all services are running.

Am I missing something else?

Here's the newly text of the changed port via the httpd.conf file:

Listen 8080

ServerName localhost:8080

it may be mysql not running.. do you get the page when you goto [127.0.0.1]

I want to add that my wamp was installed on another drive other than C:/ but I never had any problems with it for the past 2 years.

did u restart wamp after u changed to port 8080? and if so then try another port such as 8081

Looks like 8081 did the trick. Is there a way to set the browser to default to [locahost] when I open it via WAMP?

do you mean from the wamp menu?


yes you can edit the wampmanager.tpl file in the c:/wamp folder change any occurance of localhost to localhost:8081


if you mean in the windows hosts file - so that u could use [wamp] then no you cannont do this as microsoft did not delvelop the hosts file to support port numbers

I also had to edit the wampmanager.ini file and I now have it up and running!

Thank you very much for your time and knowledge.

no you dont actually dont need to edit the ini file..
this file is created from the tpl file when wamp is started up



anyway glad you got it working now
