If you want I can try a Team Viewer session with you to identify what the problem is. If you like this idea, install Team Viewer, its free. Start it and leave it running, then send me a private message with the ID and PASSWROD that TV gives you.

Paul, Did you restore a previously backed up database to your wamp system? MySQL said: Documentation #1045 - Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) BASICALLY this error message says you are trying to connect to mysql ( or phpmyadmin is ) without using a password ( which is the default state after an install ) but MySQL thinks that there is a password on the user

Looks like that may be coming from a database query, have you loaded the database?

Did you install WAMP and then try installing a php package or some php based web site? Or does this happen as this install finishes? Which is when it will start Apache.

Have you tried pressing CTRL+F5 after a failure, to force a refresh from the site and not the cache? Also some browsers prefer you to use http://localhost

If the icon is orange then Apache has not started, thats also why 'Put Online' gives that error. 'Put Online' is not required for nomal access by the way. The issue is normally because some other process has grabbed port 80 before you start Apache. left click wampmanager->Apache->Service->Test port 80 This will load a command window and report what is using port 80.

As its W7 this may not solve the issue but just in case. For wordpress sites there is a file called wp-config.php In there is a parameter like this /** MySQL hostname */ define('DB_HOST', 'localhost'); try changing localhost to 127.0.0.1 and see if it helps. If not change it back again.

Its possible for a site to block external sites from linking to their images. Its considered bandwidth stealing. Create yourself a folder under your project folder like c:\wamp\www\site1\images Put some of your own images in there and link to them using <img src="images\images1.jpg" alt="" > If that works then the site you were trying to get an image from w

After adding a password to the 'root' userid you have to tell myphpadmin what you have done, as it uses 'root' to connect to MySQL. So when you do that again, just edit this file afterward. edit c:\wamp\apps\phpmyadmin3.x.y\config.inc.php If you change it to this, when you run phpmyadmin the browser will throw a credentials challenge dialog and you can enter your userid/password. $cfg

Are you running Windows 8. If so you could try changing the mysql_connect statement. Instead of using 'localhost' as the address of the server, use '127.0.0.1'. Not sure why using localhost causes slow connections but it seems to.

32bit vs 64 bit .... that was not your problem. To be honest you are probably better off using the 32bit.

Yes MySQL is a database manager. No a database will not get created automatically, you have to do it yourself, i.e. create a database and a table to hold the data. Yes you then store and retrieve data from your db using php Google for mysql tutorials to find some help getting started using the MySQl database.

MYISAM or INNODB? Either way check the MySQL config against what you have on your MAC. By just fiddling with the buffering loading 4milloin+ records I managed to reduce a runtime of > 1 day down to 45 minutes using a innodb database. You may need to get hold of some monitoring tools to see where the bottleneck is.

IIS and Apache both use port 80 to communincate on. You need to stop IIS while you are using wamp apache. If you dont want to use it again try uninstalling it, if you want both then just disable it while you are doing development with wamp/apache. These are the component that usually cause problems for apache, you may not have all of them but if you do they all need turning off/disabling
