Hi, my son helped me solve this and looking back was easy. In Windows 10 go to the search box (bottom left of screen) next to the window icon that used to say "Start" in the olden days! Type in the following abbreviation: cmd and then simultaneously depress the 'Shift key' the 'Ctrl key' and 'Enter key' together. This as by Magic brings up the Admin Command Prompt (black

Hi, I spent the best part of an afternoon, helping a friend install WAMP, trying to figure out why CURL would not load properly when it was obviously enabled, (why is there 3 instances of the CURL extension anyway?) and gave up ion despair. I wish I had had the forethought to login and ask a question, if I had I would have seen this post! Better late than never! Thanks

Not sure about this...but I think this might be a Windows 7 thing...you need to turn off IIS as this apparently acts like a firewall blocking ports and stuff.

I had a problem with Drupal too...can't remeber how I configured it now. But it works! Not that impressed with it thought...too Micky Mouse like for my taste. Not a patch on Jumla.

Tek, Perhaps with taking the time to un-install WAMP and install Uniform Server the problem bug got deleted too. You could always do the reverse now and un-install Uniform Server and install a brand new download of latest Wamp Server and see if that fails you? LD

Tek, I'll email you at your website and hopefully sort this out for you. Take care LazyD

Tek, this IS important. You need to put the actual word Localhost for your host name in your php test file Trust me it does make a difference. You must also declare this in your permission for the User you set up. This all has to link up to work.

You need to post your login info for this TEST DB so that we can assess why your DB isn't working.

Did you set your new User permission to use Localhost ?

Is it me or are people really this stupid? Why do they do things so complicatedly? What is wrong with going directly to the file in your computer and right clicking it? All this clicking about the web, reading blogs, will give you repetitive strain injury to your wrist, looking for answers when if you had done the simple thing first it would have worked!

I've recently needed to change some permissions on my host web server and told to use CHOWN commands. I didn't have a clue what this meant as I can change directory read/write permissions easyly enough in my control panel on my host web server. I was wondering if it's possible to use CHOWN commands with WAMP Server so that I could get the hang of it before I try it 'live' so to speak. Than

What I don't understand Tek, is why you are putting in such a long address (teknikalcrysis.kicks-ass.net) for your $dbhost name instead of just plain and simple $dbhost = 'localhost';

Edit: Just been doing a search and found this HERE...I think this is your problem in a nutshell! ~~SETTING UP SETLIVE.PHP~~ Open up setlive.php with your favorite text editor. Fill in the information at the top of the script. Upload the script, and admin.css to a protected directory. For more information on protecting directories in apache please visit:

Goodness! They say you learn by your mistakes. First of all you can look and and alter a php file in Notebook which come free most computer, including Macs except Macs have a different version. But it all depends on what it is you want to change. What kind of Blog are you trying to build? Are you eventually going to host this on your own server in CyberSpace? Or is it already set up and y

It would be simpler to copy your files to WAMP/WWW which is what you are supposed to do! Let's face it you wouldn't want a remote web server to be looking into your hard drive now would you...which is basically what you are asking the WAMP server to do.

Hi Tek... EDIT: ALERT - Forum made DOC type code go all wrong!!! I'll try it again in code tags... No it don'na like it!

Hi Tek... I'm adding a quick edit at the top... BIG question...is your Server live- as in ONLINE? Not sure if you copied your html DOC Type declaration correctly, or if you just rough copied it, as there is an error in the declaration you have there. It's the correct DOC type BUT it's just missing some vital parts which may or may not have something to do with your problem. Better to fix
