WampServer

I have a site that works fine on a remote host but when I access it locally using WAMP the PHP files download without executing on the server. I can sucessfully execute PHPMyadmin so PHP is working.

Where should I be looking to determine the source of the problem as I'm stumped at the moment?

Yellek

are u using localhost/filename.php to accecss?

[localhost] which is being mapped to index.php which then downloads. I'm not using the file of the hard drive but rather going through Apache.

Hello,

I have a similar problem to the person in the initial post.

I read the article in the suggested link [blog.jlbn.net] and my setup conforms to their guidelines.

I have two folders in my document root of WAMP (C:/wamp/www) - phptestfiles and currentwebsite.

In phptestfiles I have various simple scripts that I wrote to play around with. I can execute these scripts no problem. I simply type [localhost] and I get the default wampserver page. Here I can click on "phptestfiles" under "projects" and then I see my scripts which i can click on and they execute correctly. There is no index.php file in this folder.

If I click on "currentwebsite", however, I get the windows "File download - Security Warning. Do you want to save this file, of find a program online to open it?" Find, save, cancel. This folder is a copy of a site that is executing fine on a server. There is an index.php file in this folder. I can't execute this file even if I type "[localhost] - or any other script in that directory for that matter.

I hope you can give me some pointers.

Thanks,
Tim.

maybe there are index.php.txt? and windows hides the .txt

Hello againa and thanks for your help so far.

I have "show hidden files and folders" set to true in my windows folder.

> yfastud said:

I had already edited htaccess file to allow execution of php in html. I did this by adding:

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .php (at the top of the file)
and
RemoveHandler .html .htm (and)
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .htm .html (at the end of the file).

The above didn't seem to make any difference.

I also tried removing the .htacces file completely to see what would happen and got the following error message:
"Unable to include class:- C:/wamp/www//framework/core/registry.php"

Not sure what that means as that file does exist in that directory?

Thanks,
Tim.

im not talking about hidden

in the folder options below hidden there is "hide file extentions for known file types"

unitick it


anyway
C:/wamp/www//framework/core/registry.php"

ur issue seems to be the // in the url

most likely uv included a / at the start of a url that you dont need

Sorry Steve, I misunderstood. "hide file extentions for known file types" is already unticked.

I see what you mean about the invalid "//" in the url. That was coming from DocumentRoot in httpd.config where I had entered "C:/wamp/www/". I changed this to "C:/wamp/www/" but I still get the same error message just without the "//". Error message now: "Unable to include class:- C:/wamp/www/framework/core/registry.php" .

Interestingly, if I change my DocumentRoot to "C:/wamp/www/currentwebsite" then the webpage loads although it looks like the style sheet isn't working and the links on the page don't work. So perhaps paths could be causing the problem? I noticed that a class variable in loader.php set DocumentRoot depending on whether the site as on a live server or test server so I corrected this to reflect my test environment but this hasn't corrected the problem.

I wonder if there other config files that need updating which I don't know about? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Tim.

I have got problem solved guys ... its wamp bug or name it as you like. Just changed wamp ot .... and it works flawlessly !

What do you mean by "Just changed wamp ot..."

Thanks,
Tim.

Hello,

Do you think this could be a bug then guys as bahamucio suggests? My friend has got the same website working on his laptop using xampp.

I have noticed that someone else has just reported the same problem in a new post.

I suspect it might still be a config setting. What do you think?
Thanks,
Tim,

no its nothing to do with wamp

add me to msn stevenmartin99@hotmail.com

Hi Steve,

I've added you to msn. I'll download teamviewer too.

Thanks,
Tim.

Thanks to Steven my issue has been resolved. As he predicted it wasn't a bug in wamp but a config setting.

He added "AddType application/x-httpd-php .htm" to httpd.congi in \bin\apache\Apache2.2.11\conf

Working fine now!
Thanks again Steven.

No problem ,
Again i just wanna state that its not recommended you parse all htm/html files through the php engine as this could slow down the server when there is no php to be parsed as would be normal in a htm/hmtl file


Timskis site was built for him, and they used htm for files with php and html files for files with no php hence why the line needed to be added.

This is not the norm so dont go and add this line thinking it will fix a similar sounding problem as it most likely wont.
