WampServer

Hi
i am new to PHP and have uploaded a previous website to my local wamp server and edited the css etc myself and designed the site with no problems, but i am currently working on a purchased script, and in order to install it i have to upload the folders to the server and modify the permissions on specific folders to 777 using an ftp program, Im using Flash FXP but cannot connect to my localhost. It requires the IP but despite loads of attempts im not having any luck. Ive uploaded the site to my hosting site, connected and modified permissions and installed the site sucessfully and it is running ok, but i wasnt to re-design the site layout and would rather do this on my localhost then shove the files on my live server. im probably missing something so obvious but a few pointers would be greatly apreciated.

Thanks in advance

On wamp you don't need to use FTP, as wamp does not come with an FTP Server.

Just place all your site files in C:\wamp\www

Also chmod permissions do not exist on Windows. chmod'ing files/folders only affects on non windows platforms.

Hi
Thanks for your response

I had placed all my files in the wamp/ www folder and tried to install using http//loclahost/install/install/ as instructed
but i get internal server error 500, ( the instruction guide is written for installing on a live server using an ftp program) it tells me to upload files to my server and edit the permissions to 777 on 6 folders and then type,http//www.yoursitename.co.uk/install/install/ which i have done on my live external server and its installed ok, but I dont want to have to upload every change i make to the script or CSS to my live server. I'd like to install the whole thing in wamp and edit locally, I had no problem installing and editing "opencart" on wamp , so I cant understand what is wrong as that was a similar install, I just wondered if this permissions thing was stopping the install somehow.

any ideas


Cheers Chris

To find out why you're getting the internal server error 500 message left click the wamp tray icon and select Apache > Apache error log. Scroll to the bottom of the log file and post the last 15 lines

Thanks again for your input
