Hehe, now I see why the developers avoid this forum. ;-)
Seriously, WAMP is a PHP Development Platform. PHP, not LAN. Configuring your router is YOUR responsibility, not ours -- so don't flame US for YOUR problems!
Other things that are NOT the responsibility of this forum:
<public service announcement>
* "PHP code not working" -- not our problem. If WAMP and PHP is working,

Hi Frizzo, WAMP should parse PHP straight-out-of-the-box, unless you have some other version of Apache/PHP somewhere else. Try creating \www\test\test.php and put this in it:
<html><body>
<?php
echo 'PHP is working!';
?>
</body></html>
Then point your browser to
Let us know what that does.

Hi Joseph, there is an INI setting, in your PHP.INI file change "short_open_tag = off" to on. Have fun.

Check your Log Files --> mysql error log. This might tell you more information.

Hi, try ending-task to apache.exe, mysqld*.exe, then wampserver.exe and reboot or restart WAMP. You should get a little "meter" icon in your system tray area. Left-click and choose "restart all services" and you should be good to go.

Hi, I recently started getting many of these errors in apache_error.log:

Hi Sangu. Please consider posting PHP questions to a PHP forum, like
Session vars should not reset after page change or reload, unless their values are being overwritten. Good luck.

Also, make sure you are using <?PHP tags and not <? tags. I had just seen an identical problem caused from an included file which did not have the proper tags.

Hi ibi. PHP syntax does not allow the \ character in strings singly because it is considered an escape character. To make a literal \ character in a string, you need to put two of them. See the PHP documentation for more info.

Hello Mbriao, are you asking how to make ANY page visible (HTM, HTML, PHP, etc) or just PHP pages? If nobody can connect to your website, change the company firewall to allow incoming TCP traffic, port 80, to reach apache.exe. And allow outgoing TCP ANY from apache.exe.
Please remember, WAMP is not a production server. Hosting a website will invite many hackers to try cracking your company intr

Hi Jason, you could try looking under Tools --> Options --> Content --> Manage File Types. If nothing relevant is listed in there, I know there is a way to show all entries by going to ABOUT:CONFIG in the URL bar, but forget exactly what to change. If needed, you could ask on Mozillazine.org under the FF forums, those guys should know. :-)

Hi, perhaps you might like to try a specialized editor for PHP files. Try the Zend Development Studio. It's made by the people who make PHP and it can even debug PHP code locally as well as remotely. Give it a try if you like:

Hi, I think you have to edit your \phpmyadmin\config.inc.php file. In there find this and update it:
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'root'; // MySQL user
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'MyNewPassword'; // MySQL password

Using <? instead of <?php makes your code non-standard and it will NOT work on many severs.
The flag is in php.ini:

That is a very strange problem Bob... are you sure it is 7.75KB and not <8KB? 8KB sounds like a hard-disk sector issue. Is the filesystem NTFS (with 8KB clusters?) If it's NTFS, open your disk properties and perform a scandisk with fix on the disk(s) and reboot - could be a corrupted folder index or something bizarre like that. Good luck.

Hi Miffe, do you have any type of firewall software on the PC running MySQL? If so, port 3306 (the default for MySQL anyways) must be open so that another computer can connect to it. Sounds like everything else is right, is it giving you any more error detail other than "SQL_ERROR"? It might help to create a specific user to test with. Open the MySQL console prompt and type "help a

If trying to connect to another PC in your LAN, try:
169.0.0.x/ where x is the unique IP addess of the PC running WAMP on your LAN.
localhost is always translated to 127.0.0.1 which means "this computer." Obviously, that won't work if you are trying to connect to another PC. :-)
Also, the PC running WAMP needs to have port 80 open, otherwise no browser can connect. Check your firew

Hi Star, check the bottom of the MySQL Error Log file for any relevant info. Also make sure the MySQL service is running just like the Apache service. Both services need to be running for PHPMyAdmin to run properly.
If you continue to receive "cannot load MySQL extension" then perhaps it is simply not loaded. Look under the WAMP menu, PHP Settings, then slide over to PHP Extensions. PH

Hello Star, try this:
1. Look in the WAMP tray icon and make sure the Apache service has started.
2. Open your web browser and try going to:
3. If that doesn't do anything, check in the WAMP tray icon for any error logs.

Hi, I read a previous post here just a few days ago in which the same problem was caused by something listening on port 80, like some other server software or FTP or something.
Once, for a few minutes, I was not seeing any images at all. But I restarted FireFox and WAMP and things were normal again.
What all have you changed? Did you modify any INI files? Did you install the Zend Optimizer? Did

Hi, when we click on the PHP settings and extensions in the WAMP menu, are we supposed to be able to stop and start entries? Like in the image Hopeless has posted here,
If we were not going to use "Enable Dl" and "File Uploads", could we click on them here to disable them? Because I tried to disable a few of these (enable dl, file upload, php_sqlite, etc.) but doing this cr

Hi Xeandor, you could try to debug the problem by:
1. Put the server off-line. Stop both the MySQL and Apache services.
2. Open each error log file and look at the bottom.
3. Start all services and put the server back on-line. Check the error logs again -- chances are that one of them will direct you to the problem.
If that doesn't tell you anything, one of the config files might have been chan

Hi Mapwq, you could try the Navicat tools, they might do what you want. Free demo versions available for download:
You will probably have to export from MySQL, create the Postgres dB, and import that data there. I doubt any kind of direct conversion is possible.

Hi Bidybag, have you double-checked your code to make sure there is no recursions? If something loops repeatedly, that would definitely spike the CPU. Maybe Apache is looping somewhere, then after a preset "failure" period, it stops trying. Just an idea, I do not know this for a fact.
Regards,
Mark
