WampServer

Thank you! Everything running fine now.The root cause turned out to be the inclusion of the following in my .htaccess coppied (bad idea!) from my remote publically visible website: ####CUSTOM_HEADER#### ##------Forceer HTTPS verbinding geheel domein------## RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on RewriteRule ^/?(.*) []%{SERVER_NAME}/$1 ######CUSTOM_TAILER####

After removing everything and reinstalling I see that localhost is found immediately after installation, but the problem occurs when I repopulate my www folder from backup. I shall now start again and selectively add files to my www; this should emable me to discover the problem.

I have just installed 3.1.9_x64 (in d:\wamp64) after removing a previous version.All the services are running. I can start phpMyAdmin and carry out actions there, but selecting localhost in the WAMP menu (or trying to run a php file in my www folder) leads to a (Firefox) message that connection cannot be made. I note the following: The WAMP menu offers the choice of five versions of php (5

Thank you; I seem to have been able to successfully install version 4.7.8 (pressing the Documentation icon in the top left hand corner opens the web documentation for that version). On the Users tab the message 'You do not have privileges to manipulate with the users!' has disappeared, but there is still no button to add users; I can only delete them even though ROOT has all priviledges.

I can get phpMyAdmin to run with the ROOT user as you mention, but my problem is that I then cannot add users (with passwords) in the application (I want to simulate my external php site on my local computer for development purposes). In a previous version of WAMP I did not have this problem, but have now updated to the latest version following a complete reinstall of my whole computer. On the G

I have just installed Wampserver version 3.1.7_x86. In phpMyAdmin 4.8.4.

Having read in the TechRepublic article that "The easiest approach is to just copy the entire data/ directory to backup media, and archive it so that you can get it back at any time" I have decided to go back to my original intention. I have answered my own question by Grep-ing the whole WAMP directory on my old system (which, of course, I could have done in the first place). It turns o

>You should look into performing database dumps which is done via a simple command OK; I'll look into this, although I don't really see why one "shouldn't" backup the files. I did that on my old system (but unfortunately failed to document how I relocated my MySQL directory), and never had any problems with restores. I do realise that then one must copy the entire directory, and n

It turned out that the whole wamp directory was read only. I had finally to temporarily turn off User Account Control to remove this, but I could then follow your instructions with success, and my original problem is now solved. Thanks once again.

See now that the whole phpMyAdmin folder is read only (and this therefore applies for all the files within, although Windows dos not show them as beng read only). Will try turning this off

Thank you yfastud. Unfortunately config.inc.php seems to be read only (even when I try to edit it after a restart and before starting Wampserver, and the Windows "read only" flag is not set) so I cannot save the modified version.

Hello! I have just reinstalled WampServer after a general reformatting of my Vista computer.
