Hi, Did you set the AllowOverride directive to allow .htaccess in that folder? Maybe your .htaccess file contains a directive which is not allowed or has incorrect syntax. If that is possible, test the syntax from the command line using: c:\wamp\apache2\bin\httpd -t If everything is all right, you will see the response "Syntax OK". For more details, see or just do a search on thi

Hi, Will you be permitted to use gmail's SMTP server for forwarding? Most probably not. In the php.ini file you should use the SMTP server name or IP address of your ISP's mail server through which you would normally send messages from a mail client in your network.

Hi, You can change the port in the Apache configuration file c:\wamp\Apache2\conf\httpd.conf. Edit it with Notepad and find the line: Listen 80 You can change the port, save the config file and restart Apache from the WAMP icon in the system tray. If you have more than one site, you can set the virtual hosts to listen on different ports if that makes sense, by changing the port in th

Hi, You can either use the internal IP address to refer to your website or set up one or more name based virtual hosts, which is more flexible because you can have more than one site for internal use and the URL can be a pseudo domain, without a folder name.

Hi, There are two php.ini files in the WAMP system, and c:\wamp\php\php.ini controls the PHP command line (CLI) scripts. The php.ini file which controls your PHP scripts in Apache is in c:\wamp\apache2\bin. Customising the path should then work, for example: include_path = ".;c:\wamp\php\includes" The go-pear script seems to modify the include_path. Regards,

Hi, Unless you have changed the default setting in php.ini: short_open_tag = Off your short open tag <? should be changed to <?php for the script to work.

Hi, How do your links look like in the HTML source code? Do they perhaps contain the prefix localhost? If the link refers to a page in your own site, you should use a relative link: <a href="2ndpage.html" title="My 2nd page">My 2nd Page</a> When the browser renders the page, it adds the prefix to the link with the correct domain.

Hi, If you use WAMP as your server, please note that it does not come with an email server. Otherwise, you need a mailserver like sendmail or qmail. At least one of them usually come with Linux distributions. Otherwise you are limited to what your hosting provider offers. Most CMS applications like Joomla have some kind of a internal messaging system, and forum applications like vBulletin

Hi, The hosts file in the WAMP server is only used when the browser runs on the WAMP server itself and does a domain lookup. You can also add the same entry (consisting of the internal IP address of your WAMP server and the domain name) to the hosts file of another workstation on the same LAN, to access your site on the WAMP server. You need to add your new domain name to your virtual host de

Hi, What is the reasoning behind all those ports? R u playing WOW perhaps? You can use an IP address to access your server if your Apache configuration includes a default virtual host. However, before exposing your site to the whole world, you may want to run a port scan from outside to see which ports are open in the firewall, just in case. Have a look at the Shields Up! service at www.grc.
