JLBN – Windows Apache MySQL PHP – WAMP
WAMP stands for Windows, Apache, MySQL, and PHP. There are a lot of useful WAMP package out there and WampServer is one of the most easy to use and pack with very useful trayicon to manage your server and its settings.
WampServer is a Windows web development environment. It allows you to create web applications with Apache, PHP and the MySQL database. It also comes with PHPMyAdmin and SQLiteManager to easily manage your databases. WampServer installer installs automatically, and its usage is very intuitive. You will be able to tune your server without even touching the setting files.
WampServer is the only packaged solution that will allow you to reproduce your production server. Once WampServer is installed, you have the possibility to add as many Apache, MySQL and PHP releases as you want.
Thanks for putting up this site. I found a lot of useful information here.
I have installed wampserver and while clickin on phpMyadmin its showing two warnings:
1.The additional features for working with linked tables have been deactivated.
2.Your PHP MySQL library version 5.0.51a differs from your MySQL server version 5.1.36. This may cause unpredictable behavior.
How should i deal with above warnings?..plz help.
nirjara, just ignore them since most people dont use linked tables and the second is the bug from php
yes I have htaccess not .htaccess file in my www under every folder of website like site1 , site2 etc.. but not in domain , sub1 and in sub2 actually I am using it on XP with WAMP server please let me know how to allow .htaccess file to access from other computer on my LAN
Sajjad, in your .htaccess file(s), you have to setup Allow rules for those pc’s ip; however, before doing so, try to rename/remove your .htaccess file(s) to see if you still encounter the same problem đŸ˜‰
I have followed your step by step instruction for setting up virtual host with WAMP but when I am trying to access from computer2 its showing Forbidden (you don’t have permission to access / on this server)
I also check the log file which I created as per your instructions there I found
[Thu May 06 12:07:29 2010] [error] [client 10.10.10.101] client denied by server configuration: C:/wamp/www/domain/
I will appreciate your quick reply
sajjad, do you have .htaccess file in the folder that is not allow to access?
Hi,
Just want to say a big ‘thank you’ for all your hard work. It’s very much appreciated.
You have been a great help via the wamp forum, if you recognize I am the one re-installing wamp to try and get it working.
Last time I downloaded 2.0i from sourceforge, this time from here.
If I hadn’t known the version when I went to the downloads page I would have been lost.
So just a suggestion for the future, information to determine what version to use.
Incredible resource here, thanks

hi ive encountered the same prob as a few others ( yellow background) and it concerns me that known good programs such as Eset’s Nod32 ( onE of the best av programs around) needs dissabling to make the server work, surely that cant be right ?? and is it something anyones working on??
strange thing is my first installed worked fine, i only had to reinstall it because I cocked up the password issue before finding your guide …
glenn, it’s NOT disable but need to add exception for wamp in Eset’s Nod32; however, most people don’t know how to do it, so the easiest way is uninstall both wamp and Eset’s Nod32, remove wamp folder, restart pc, then reinstall Eset’s Nod32 AFTER and WHILE wamp is running
I’m trying to use Drupal with wampserver, and got the error addressed here: http://drupal.org/node/594792. Searching for older versions of wampserver brought me here. It’s really great that you have them. It would be helpful to me if you included some information about what is different between the versions. In my case, I’m looking for one with an older version of PHP.
Thanks again for having the versions!
cathig, here is the change log and we suggest you to download wamp2h
you have some really great guides but your missing the most important python please i have been looking for a recent guide fo 8hours

hi,
i got WAMP installed and i am able to run sites from the www folder.
BUT i have been trying to install MODX and get it to work, with no success.
have you been able to or have you tried MODX with WAMP and succeeded?
my catch point is the db connection check, i cant proceed beyond that.

any pointers are welcome
poisonrain, you need to create db for that
