WampServer

Thanks. Win is still a Preview Version. Problem may? be fixed in final release.

HI

I am having the same problem with Wamp 2.2

Please can you help.

I have tried all the solutions here with no joy

I re-installed over the top and seems to be working now

I am really struggling with this, I have recently upgraded my machine to windows 8 and do not seem to get MySQL to work, when I try to goto localhost/phpmyadmin I get "You don't have permission to access /phpmyadmin/ on this server."

I have tried everything listed on this post but to no avail, any assistance would be greatly appreciated

This could be a number of things;

Have you checked your HOSTS file. On some Win 8 systems it does not exist and others it has locahost commented out.

File c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

Should have the following:

127.0.0.1 localhost
::1 localhost


The first line is for IPV4 and the second for IPV6. I personally like to comment out the ::1 localhost as it can cause other complications, comment is a '#' in column 1 of the file.




The hosts file is protected by windows, in order to save it you must have Administrator privilages.
Vista/W7/W8 you may think you are an Administrator BUT YOU ARE NOT.

To successfully save the hosts file do this to launch your editor with Admin Privilages.

Locate your editors icon on the desktop or from the Start menus ( notepad will do if you have nothing else )
left click + shift over your chosen editor icon - will show a menu.
select "Run As Administrator" from the menu.
Navigate your editor to the c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file.

When you have made changes you will now be allowed to save them.

Hello!

So it looks like they've changed the way things work in this new version. You'll have follow a new method to set-up virtual servers. Thorough instructions here: [www.apptools.com]

To fix the problem with phpMyAdmin, take a look here: [stackoverflow.com]

Hi im having issues with this to. I uninstalled Xampp so i could use wamp instead now i can't access php my admin

SAME PROBLEM TOO: Localhost run, work but phpmyadmin not run work.

Only change this hosts file. ::1 -> # ::1
(in c:\windows\....\etc\hosts )

MUST RESTART WINDOWS.
Because windows not see this change.

Maybe its not work. !!

MUST RESTART AGAIN

No other ways. Restart again.

Win 7 see only 127.0.0.1
Close other ways..
Thanks.

To flush the windows DNS Cache do the following from a command line started with 'Run as Administrator'

>net stop "DNS Client"
>net start "DNS Client"

quotes required as there is a space in the service name!


Once you have changed hosts file to comment out ::1 ( # ::1 )

edit httpd.conf ( use the link on wampmanager menus to make sure you edit the correct file )

Find the line
Listen 80

and change it to

Listen 0.0.0.0:80

This will tell apache to only listen on the IPV4 address range, hence remove the ipv4 ipv6 confusion

open the httpd.conf and find the line Allow from 127.0.0.1 and add Allow from ::1 below it to fix that error and u will need to edit the alias files for phpmyadmin ,sqlbuddy and webgrind
