WampServer

Hi, I use WAMP in Windows 7 x64 and found two problems that I think should be fixed:

1. The path for icons that apache use when listing directories is wrong by default and not changed by installer when WAMP is installed in NON default path (apache uses localhost/icons).


The directive is at: c:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.2.22\conf\extra\httpd-autoindex.conf

Default: Alias /icons/ "c:/apache2/icons/"
Should be: Alias /icons/ "c:/wamp/bin/apache/apache2.2.22/icons/"

Default: <Directory "c:/apache2/icons">
Should be: <Directory "c:/wamp/bin/apache/apache2.2.22/icons/">


And should be changed by installer if user choose to install in another location instead of 'c:\wamp'.


2. WAMP use the php.ini in c:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.2.22\bin , this is not intuitive, php.ini should be only in C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.4.3\php.ini

This can be done just adding this directive in httpd.conf:

PHPINIDir "c:\wamp\bin\php\php5.4.3"

At last, would be great if tray icon had a button "About" to show the WAMP version/build and a link to oficial site, to check new versions.

Please consider to make WAMP better applying these changes. Thank you.


PS: I use the version: wampserver2.2e-php5.4.3-httpd2.2.22-mysql5.5.24-x64.exe

The icons issue is fixed in all but one version,
It is patched, and will work on the next update.

There is an about button, use the right click menu or double click the icon.

The php.ini will be staying in the apache folder for very good reasons .
This is how wamp is able to change versions easily.

Thank you for the quick reply, now I found the about box :-)

PS: I saw now that version in About Box is 2.2, but installer is 2.2E, not should be shown 2.2E in About Box?
