WampServer

thanks, that resolved the issue of not being able to access localhost properly. Anyone know if exec() and fopen() are enabled by default? and whether directorys are write protected from scripts?
Forum: WampServer English

also is fopen() and exec() disabled by default?
Forum: WampServer English

hi, do I need to configure wamp server to give a php file write access to a specific directory within the site structure? Got a site set up on a vhost and having trouble getting something to work. Also, when I go to local host it brings up my vhost instead of the wampserver page. Hashing out the line in 'hosts' allows access to localhost but obviously not the vhost. Used to work before I
Forum: WampServer English

I managed to get it going by doing the classic solution. Uninstall and start from scratch. Only issue I have now is that when clicking localhost in the wamp menu it takes me to my vhost and not the usual wamp localhost page. Probably something simple, any ideas?
Forum: WampServer English

just had another go at this. Narrowed down the problem to the setup of a virtual host. I've got one virtual host setup that, when commented out in httpd, allows wamp to access localhost. When I take away the comments it comes up with the 403. This is a windows 7 system so I don't know if the UAC has anything to do with it. I've run WAMP as admin but still ge tthe problem. Is there a perticular

this is weird. Just loaded up XP that was working fine and I'm getting the same problem. Same machine, just swapped a HDD. Whay can't things just work!

The order deny,allow thing didnt do anything. I had a similar issue on vista a while back but I can't remember how fixed it. Probably the same issue on my new win7 install. any other ideas?
Forum: WampServer English

what does that mean?

Having a bit of trouble accessing the localhost. phpmyadmin works fine but it comes up with a 403 when trying to access the local host. Any ideas what this might be?
Forum: WampServer English

just reinstalled WAMP and found that as soon as I create an alias pointing to my USB drive it stops functioning. I used to be able to point an alias an vhost to the USB drive and have it work just fine. Anyone have any ideas why it doesn't like my drive all of a sudden?
Forum: WampServer English

Getting a 403 forbidden error when trying to access my localhost or vhost. I know this problem is reasonably common but the stuff I found on google didn't really help. It has been working before and I've not used it on my laptop for a couple of weeks so can't think what I may of done to stop it working. Any ideas?
Forum: WampServer English

thanks c2dan, what you said works.
Forum: WampServer English

won't that just use the document root of the file you're viewing rather than pointing to an exact place in the directory structure?
Forum: WampServer English

I don't know how many more times I can explain the same thing. I appreciate you still trying to help when others would have just stopped replying but theres some kind of misunderstanding here The document root IS D:/folder/etc/etc/siteroot/home/account/public_html Thats the problem, I need the doc root to look like this /home/account/public_html so it replicates the host. Going to r
Forum: WampServer English

I already do understand that, it's why I'm on here trying to figure out how to have Wamp match the online hosts way of seeing root. I'm trying to use Wamp offline only for development, which works until absolute links (non-http) are used. All I want to do is set d:/folder/etc.../siteroot/ as the starting point for my absolute paths So in my PHP document the absolute path is /home/acco
Forum: WampServer English

just to clear things up for anyone that reads this. - is a URL /folder/file.php - a / at the beginning is an absolute path based on the web servers root (will be much longer than that, just an example) ../folder/file.php - ../ is a relative path folder/file.php - starting with a folder name is a relative path Setting up a virtual host may be a simpler option. Did some searchi
Forum: WampServer English

this is the full absolute path to my web files/folders (works online) /home/account/public_html/domain/ So the absolute path to www.domain.com/home/index.php would be /home/account/public_html/domain/home/index.php Is it possible have the absolute paths work locally using Wamp server? Did a $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] to compare online against local and I think cdan may be right
Forum: WampServer English

and yea "5. websites" ? and "2. in progress" are lcoal folder names
Forum: WampServer English

Ignore the fact its called HOME, it's just a folder name and has nothing to do with the host. I created the folder HOME within the host directory. It could easily be called folder1 or anything else. This is the directory structure within the wwwpublic folder: folder1 folder2 folder3 These are the first folders within the www public folder, I cannnot place them any higher in the dire
Forum: WampServer English

yea, there are some absolute paths within my php files. eg require('/supportingfiles/pagelayout/header.inc.php'); the 'supportingfiles' folder is in the hostroot folder so has no other structure above it (wwwpublic folder/supportingfiles/...etc) this also applies to the home folder (wwwpublicfolder/home/...etc heres the config: Alias /siteroot/ "d:/projects/5. websites/2
Forum: WampServer English

There seems to be some confusion here, the 'home' folder is one I have created. Everything within siteroot (local) has been generated by myself. The alias folder of 'siteroot', which contains all these files/folders I have generated, is meant to replicate the host root. ie. siteroot/ should equal hostroot/ siteroot/home/ should equal hostroot/home/ the folder named 'home' within 's
Forum: WampServer English

my site is in that path already. folder siteroot is currently the alias. All web files are in here. eg. ........siteroot/home/folder/file.php and the absolute link should be /home/golder/file.php not working though
Forum: WampServer English

hello, I'm using Wamp server offline for development and I've got an alias set up for a site im working on. All the sites files and folders are within a folder named siteroot. This folder has been setup as an alias to try and replicate the directory structure on the hosting server. Trouble is all my absolute links aren't working, the relative ones are fine. eg /home/folder/folder/file.php
