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
I was searching the internet for a solution to changing the default startup for MySQL console to ask for the username and password when I came across the following forum
http://forum.wampserver.com/read.php?2,27051,27054.
A solution was sent by [yfastud (—.cable.mindspring.com) ] to the email of the person who had posted the question…
Could you help me on me quest. Thanks
Robert Andrews
Robert Andrews, that solution is now in this guide:
Setup Password
When you’re following this guide, eventually you will come to this step:
“…After wamp restart, left click on wamp tray icon to access Main Menu and select phpMyAdmin to pop up the Login page for phpMyAdmin, which you can login with user…”
thank you !!!!
Nevermind. Found the problem : Skype was using port 80.
Dolan, if using Skype, go to Tools->Options->Advanced->Connection and uncheck the box “Use 80 and 443 as alternatives for incoming connections”. Restart Skype after WAMP. Now you will be able to use both programs at the same time w/o problems.
The same issue with internet explorer
Hello. I have a problem: when i try to connect to localhost or http://my-ip/domain it give me a blank page. What can be the problem ?
Dolan, try different browser to see if you have the same issue; then, we go from there 🙂
thanks
Thank you!
I appreciate…

For anyone out there just trying to run different versions of PHP at different times: You don’t have to do anything special, just install the extra versions of PHP you need. Wamp Server actually supports this:

I have battled this for 2 weeks. searching the web and no results.
Win7
Wamp
vhosts does not work.
Only change to httpd.conf is enable
Include conf/extra/httpd-autoindex.conf
DocumentRoot “g:/wamp/www”
ServerName 127.0.0.1
ServerAlias Localhost
>
DocumentRoot “g:/skip”
ServerName skip.localhost
ServerAlias skip
errorLog “g:/skip/logs/skip-error.log”
CustomLog “g:/skip/logs/skip-access.log”common
#
# Options Includes Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
# AllowOverride all
# Deny from all
# Allow from skip
#
http://skip/ goes out to the web and loads skip.com Not my website.
Please save my sanity.
the above code does not show it accurately.
The tags don’t show.
I forgot to include to close the block.
boB, where is that G: drive? Is it a partition/hard drive in your WAMP computer?
Thank you very very very much for “ResetMySql”.
I had the #1045 access denied …..
Thanks to you it’s all good now.
Best regards.
Sylvain.

i am got the error, aestan tray error
with these errors
AppName: wampmanager.exe AppVer: 1.6.1.33 ModName: kernel32.dll
please help me ho wto overcome this
my system is xp sp2 or xp sp3 , my apache not working properly…. :((((( first time face this problrm even i insall xampp but still apache not working…
First thing first, you have to uninstall xampp, its folder and also its registries. Next, try to search and delete any php.ini, my.ini, my.cnf, httpd.conf file outside wamp folder. If it doesn’t resolve the issue, post back here and we will try something else 😉
Thank U…!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have aestan tray error and need some help something terrible. Been working at this for over a week with no luck.
I have to… we need to find a exact step by step by step guide,and I mean step BY STEP, LOL.
gg, if you don’t post detail error then it’s not easy to help
AESTAN tray error is due to you not having a redistributable package installed.
Go to http://www.wampserver.com/en
details of required redistributable package required in order to see AESTAN tray can be seen when you go to the download section (this is a recent change to the WAMPSERVER site). You will be pointed to either of the follwoing 2 installs at Microsoft:
32-bit
http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=8328
64-bit
http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=13523
The redistributable needs to be installed before WAMP, just to make it easy when WAMP starts up on the system tray.
