WampServer

Hi --

I had installed Wamp Server a couple of years ago when working on a new site, and it was simple and flawless. I've just installed the latest and having multiple issues. Resolved the first by finding a post on the forum about editing port from 80 to 8080. However, I'm having no luck finding a resolution to the blank phpMyAdmin screen. As it happens, that's the *only * thing I'm really interested in, as I need to edit a database and test the edits.

Here is the mySQL log:

Thanks for any light anyone can shed on this!

i think you made a mistake changing to 8080..

it is not advised to do this.

find out what is using port 80 and stop it.

Wamp works best on port 80.


if you want me to troubleshoot it , grab teamviewer and PM the details

Thanks, but I finally figured it out. The answer was in this post:

As soon as I ran the following command, all was well:

net stop was /y

This stops "Windows Process Activation" and "Worldwide Web Publishing Service" which I was not aware was running.

Hopefully, this may help someone else down the road.

If you dont want IIS it would be better to uninstall it completely.

Its best to use the second proceedure 'To uninstall IIS using Add or Remove a Windows Component in Control Panel'

Susan thank you so much! i literally have been hacking away at this problem for a week. I used command prompt netstat. I literally changed the coding in my http. I changed administration privileges for all users. I changed the http to be compatible with windows 7 from xp. Nothing helped. finally i read your post and it is finally working for me. Thank you so much! I was about to fork out money so someone can help with this. Ah my day is made and i can start learning php.
