Hi, It seems to be part of PEAR, and PEAR tells to use the following command to install it: pecl install perl It downloads perl-1.0.0.tgz, then tries to build but reports: ERROR: Did not understand the completion status returned from msdev.exe.

From your description I thought you wanted to give the students the whole database to do what they want. Is the main purpose of the course to teach students how to edit databases or more advanced topics like transactions? Here is possible solution: you do not have to install WAMP to a network drive at all, and students do not need access to the physical folder where the database resides. In

This may be useful: If you backed up the database using the Export - SQL options in phpMyAdmin, you can import the database using phpMyAdmin, but you can also do it from the DOS command prompt using the mysql command and the name of the .sql file as the input. Example: mysql -h localhost -u username -p password -D database_name < c:\temp\backup_file.sql Regards,

Hi, I am glad it worked out :-) You are just sending mail to your ISP. This means that your WAMP server connects to TCP port 25 in the SMTP server of your ISP. That operation does not open port 25 in your server at all because you are not running a mail server (which listens to incoming connections on port 25). You need to make sure your MX records are all right if you use your own do

Hi, According to MySQL's upgrade instructions at , one should always backup the databases before the upgrade. The onus is then on the Database Administrator to make sure that the right measures are taken: . Should there not be a human element factored in in this process? Otherwise any accountant could do our job :-) Regards,
Forum: WampServer English

Hi, You can simply write a script to backup the database to a file on a network drive. The students can then grab the backup from the network drive and restore it to their local drives. It is not absolutely necessary to stop the MySQL server for this operation. For details, read and . You can use the mysqldump command to do the backup. Sample code below. The mysql command can then be

You can run as many domains on WAMP as you want because Apache supports virtual hosts. As long as you know what your IP address is (even if it is dynamic, you can get DNS support from and ) and organise the company hosting your DNS records to point the domain(s) to your IP address. Then you need to forward incoming TCP port 80 packets or HTTP requests from your firewall to the internal IP ad
Forum: WampServer English

Only very rarely you would run your own DNS server, and definitely not for the same domain as the server which you are hosting the domain name for. That would create a case of the chicken or the egg. If you own a second domain and an old 486 PC, have fun and install Linux with BIND and host your domain, like I do :-) Regards,

This sounds more like a Joomla problem. You could increase the 15 minute Admin Session Lifetime in the Joomla configuration. Did you drop the database before you re-installed Joomla? I am not sure if the re-installation starts the user table from scratch or not. Regards,

Hi, If you save the Excel file as tab limited file or 'Text (Tab delimited) (*.txt)', you can then import it into an existing MySQL table either through a query in MySQL Query Browser or equivalent, or write a script to do that.

Hi, Are you logging into the domain name followed by /administrator ?

There is no need to discuss the fact that WAMP does not come with a mail server, in other words a mail server is not bundled into WAMP, and I am not suggesting that it should. However, as I said, "Sending emails is an essential part of the functionality of any webserver". That functionality is independent of where the actual mail server is running. The standard PHP implementation

Hi yfastud, I thought the idea of this forum is to help people to use WAMP as a webserver. Sending emails is an essential part of the functionality of any webserver.

Hi Spillage, I just saw your last message: No need to go and hide. The action "processorder.php" works fine, the default location for files is the current working directory and you do not have to include the full path or URL. Using a relative path should work all right and makes it easier to migrate your code to a different server environment. Regards,

Hi webface, If you ran the go-pear.bat file and installed PEAR, and then installed the Mail package with all its dependencies, you should now have the required files in your system, especially: c:\wamp\bin\php\php5.2.5\PEAR\Mail.php If you cannot find that file but you have PEAR installed, you can just run the following command to install the Mail package: pear install --alldeps mail

Hi webface, If your application comes with the program mail.php, why don't you just use the relative path from the current working directory to mail.php?

Hi, Your first level of defence is a properly configured firewall appliance which limits the access to your network to the ports which are allowed to be accessed by users from the internet.
