WampServer

Hello,

I installed wampserver on my C:/ Folder but when I am trying to access to [localhost] nothing is appearing.

what can i do ? I added a file and tried to open that file using my browser but it failed all i can see is a blank page "untitled" .

is there anything I could do ? Please i need your help asap because i need to test some things very soon.

Thanks

What color is the tray icon (look for white half circle). If its fully white then everything is working fine. If its yellow it means their is a problem. Red means WAMP is not running.

Note if you have services such as Skype and/or IIS it will interfere with WAMP. This because they use port 80 which is required for WAMP to run.

Skype can be configured to use an alternative port from Tools-->Options-->Connections. If you're not using IIS you should disabled or uninstall it.

Hi thanks

Yeah it's fully white. I have a problem with my browsers? I tried appnetworks (a local server) and I have the same problems when I go to [localhost] there's a blank page.

Please what can i do ?

you have another web server??? they're conflicted

No No I have one, I uninstalled the another one and tried wampserver and it didn;t work.

What happens if you go to [127.0.0.1] instead

oh dude it worked I can see phpbbmyadmin...

so Now I shall go to 127.0.0.1 everytime instead of localhost?

Thank you so much

I want to install phpbb3 I have to put the folder in the "www" folder right?

Thank you again

open file hosts in folder C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers\etc and make sure you have only this line and nothing else

127.0.0.1 localhost

then try http:/ /localhost again

Hello yfasturd

I open the direcoty and I found 5 files :

hosts
lmhosts.sam
networks
protocol
services

I opened Hosts and I found the following :

# Copyright (c) 1993-2006 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
#      102.54.94.97     rhino.acme.com          # source server
#       38.25.63.10     x.acme.com              # x client host

127.0.0.1       localhost
::1             localhost

I have another Question :

How to add a password for the root? because when I tried to install Joomla I couldn;t because they need a password for the database.

How to setup a password?

Thank you for your help

Place a hash infront of the line that starts with ::1

NOTE: In order to edit the hosts file you need to be running an editor as administrator privileges. To do so go to Start. And type in Notepad. Now right click Notepad from the list and select Run as Administrator.

Go to File > Open and type the following in to the filename box:
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts

Apply the changes and save the files. Try [localhost] again.

As c2dan suggestion, place # in front of that line or you can take out that line, save file, then try http:/ /localhost again

Thank you.

I changed the password as the way mentioned in your website.

but Now when i go to phpmyadmin I am getting this :

 MySQL said: Documentation
#1045 - Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)
phpMyAdmin tried to connect to the MySQL server, and the server rejected the connection. You should check the host, username and password in your configuration and make sure that they correspond to the information given by the administrator of the MySQL server.

you might missed a step or 2, so download resetmysql here
[downloads.jlbn.net]
then try to setup password again, make sure to check screenshots for more detail
