I've never used password protect for a web site but I seem to just about have it set up. However, I can't get the system to find the .htpasswd file. The site is in C:\wamp64\www\Psalmonds\jprootfolder. That is the directory the virtual host points at. I have .htpasswd and .htaccess in the jprootfolder Where should I put the .htpasswd file? If I try to put it in the jprootfolder and

I'm running WAMP Server 3.0.4 (32bit) with MySQL 5.7.11, and Apache 2.4.18, PHP 5.6.19 on Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit. When I try to create a new virtual host I get the following errors: ( ! ) Warning: fopen(C:\\Windows\\system32\\drivers\\etc\\hosts): failed to open stream: Permission denied in C:\wamp32\www\add_vhost.php on line 238 Call Stack # Time Memory Function Location 1 0.0010

I was afraid you might say that. I've been looking for a way to send them questions but haven't found any. I found two forums, one is not taking new registrations and the other one's registration procedure is not working properly. I think that what I will do is let PEAR put the packages in \php5.6.15\pear and then I'll use them from there or copy them to the \php5.6.19\pear directory I'v

This is a Window 7 64bit system. I have WAMP 3.0.4 32bit installed I originally installed 32bit from the file wampserver3_x86_apache2.4.17_mysql5.7.9_php5.6.15.exe I was having virtual host problems with that version so I un-installed it and installed from wampserver3.0.4_x86_apache2.4.18_mysql5.7.11_php5.6.19-7.0.4.exe Once I had that working, I downloaded the go-pear.phar file (PEAR

As Otomatic said, this forum is about using the WAMP - Windows Apache, MySQL, and PHP installer but I have a question: What do mean, exactly, by "...bunch of other pages that I CANNOT CREATE."? Emphasis on "cannot create" Do you not know how to create a web page from "scratch" or what ?? More details needed.
Forum: WampServer English

You miss the point: As installed with the x86 package, the httpd-vhosts.conf file does not contain a defintion for localhost. If I enabled the VirtualHost sub-menu and uncommented the include for httpd-vhosts.conf in httpd.conf file and then try to use the Add Virtual Host fuunctin, via the Localhost page, form the WAMP menu, I get a 403 error - I can't load the Localhost page.

Haven't tried it but if you were to install the PHP script on a hosting company server, the extension would not be available, and thus the function would not be available, and somehow I think they probably would not be willing to install your extension. Might be fun to play with but for "production" use on the Internet, you'd have to go with whatever extensions the hosting company ha

Yes, error is still present with upgrade to 32 bit 3.04. I'll use virtual hosts, as i said before, once I can create them. I'll go see about making one manually. I'm going to mark this as in the subject line - is that okay? You can close it the topic for replies.

I will update 32 bit to latest version. Please see my reply on the post I made at regarding the original problem I ran into, when I was working on error that I ran into the project link problem.

The error I'm getting is well before I even get the chance to create a virtual host on the 32 bit version.

I have WAMP 3 64 bit running correctly.

One last thing - if you are having problems with one file (in the case an MP4 file) try another file of the same time before looking for the cause of the problem being something other than a bad file. It saves a lot of time - your's and everyone else's. Do you that WAMP is a preconfigured packate of Apache web server, MySQL databaae, and PHP language support? The W stands for Windows, th

The answer to your orginal question is DON'T Don't even consider making changes to make your web site, on your local computer, available to people out on the Internet. Getting Apache and MySQL to run on your local computer does not mean that they are configured for maximum security for use by others. If you want to put a site online, register a domain and purchase a hosting plan from som

As to the "enabled the vhosts sub-menu" Sorry, I left that out of my instructions for creating a virutal host. As to: " uncommented the vhosts include in httpd.conf" Why did you make a change to that file? I've never had to make a change there to create a usable virtual host.

I also don't fully understand your questions except that it has something to do with backing up databases. In general - When to backup - - before you make structural changes to a DB or a DB Table. - depending upon the volume of changes to data in the DB, you should backup up at regular intervals (days, weeks, etc. - maybe hours for a very busy database) - there really is no wron

Thanks. I will run one version, shut it down and start the other. I won't even try having them running at the same time so I won't need to make any port or other changes. Seems the simplest way to do it. As far as MySQL - I'll make duplicates of my databases and I'l use export and import to sync them, as needed. Thanks again.

My suggestion is going to sound radical: If you still can't get things to work - I suggest reinstalling WAMP and starting with a clean slate. Read all of this, better, print it if you can, before you begin. Terminology - I have the 64 bit version of WAMP 3 installed and it installed in the c:\wamp64 directory. Apparently the 32 versions, new or old, installed in the c:\wamp directory,.
