Hi, Did you actually install all the required MSVC RUntimes, you just say you tried!?? Go to The backup repo for WAMPServer (much easier to navigate than SourceForge) Download and install and run `Checks VC++ packages installed` you find it at the bottom of that page. That will tell you what MSVC Runtimes you may be missing. If you are missing any, you can also download those from the

This is probably because the first thing Apache does is see if you are allowed to access something, then if you are it will look to see if the subfolder (alias) actually exists. So you fail at the first hurdle and therefore get the message FORBIDDEN

The `mail()` function does not send mail it just passes it to a mail server, the one you have configured in yout `php.ini` file. So if you dont have a mail server on your system you cannot use `mail()` to send mail.

I will just throw my hat into the arena once more. SOrry Oto if I am stepping on your toes! If your httpd.exe files are "disappearing" then possibly you have an overly agressive FireWall or Virus checker. Have you recently made change to either of these type of services on this PC?

You would have to setup a Virtual Host in WAMPServer called "your domain name" Then you would change the DNS (I assume you get access to a DNS Server) so it points to your Routers WAN IP Address. But this comes with a warning, WAMPServer comes configured to be a developers tool and not a live server. If you are not practiced in securing a web server against all the possible attack

All I can say is WHY? Leave the localhost where it is. Suggestions 1: If you want WAMPServer installed on Z: then unintall it and reinstall it there. Although I dont recommend installing on a network drive. (DONT FORGET TO BACKUP Site and Database(s) first) Suggestion 2: If you want to develop a site and place its code somewhere else, do so. But create a new Virtual Host for that purpo

The normal answer would be to write the PHP code correctly, but in this case I suspect that you are using a version of PHP that is not compatable with the site code you have downloaded. I assume this is not code you have written yourself. I suggest you check the requirements for this site, I would guess you are going to have to reduce the version of PHP you are using. BUT....

A quick note for the casual reader that may have got this far: May I remind ALL USER OF MYSQL/mariaDB that if you want an INNODB table and you specify INNODB on the table CREATE you will get an INNODB table. The existance of and reliance on a default for the table type is a COMPLETE and UTTER IRRELEVANCE if you actually have the faintest idea what you are doing. And there I rest my case.
Forum: WampServer English

Yes, but there is a reason! We found that most new users of WAMPServer (Beginners, people who know next to nothing about MySQL or any other part of WAMPServer) had a lot of problems with INNODB as of course they do not take sensible backups or protect themselves in other ways from hiccups. Therefore when they make there first mistake, recovering a INNODB database was more complex whereas o

Hi, Please remember, this is primarily a learning tool. Configuration of these servers is completely down to you and is part of your learning process for each of these servers and environments. It is not something you can ask to be configured to your personal needs. I, like you, have a list of config changes I have to make in order for Apache/MySQL/mariaDB/PHP to be setup as I want them

This is likely to do with how you have configured Joomla and your Virtual Host. Nothing to do with WAMPServer itself. We would not mind helping, but really you have not given us any information that would allow us to help

Hi, First, did you read the full spec for HTTP2, its configureation is not just a case of enabling the module. Second, did you compare these results using some other browsers, FF, Edge. HTTP/2 means that more assets can be downloaded at once - not that they will be. Browsers have various heuristics as to what to download and when.

It does get it from somewhere else, the other option to ensure you amend the correct `php.ini` is to use the wampmanager icon again and do left click wampmanager->PHP->php.ini This should open php.ini with your default editor. Find memory_limit = 128M and change 128 to 256 or 512. Then save the file, exit the editor and then restart Apache to make the parameter active l
