I have a WAMP server installed on my local Win7 system to test changes to a website before pushing them to the remote server. Recently, I have experienced very long (several minutes) hangs when accessing the MySQL database. There is no need for the server to face outwards. It is only for testing purposes. I want to satisfy myself that ESS is not causing the hangs, so I can look for other causes. I have right clicked to disable the firewall, but that doesn't seem to make a difference. Does anyone have suggestions?

I tried disabling protection and firewall with no change. Just going to localhost caused IE 10 to timeout. I disabled HIPS and everything seems to speed along as 'normal'. I haven't had a chance to test the WAMP server yet, but it's a huge improvement in all of the other programs that I regularly have open.

This morning I tried WAMP again with HIPS disabled but protection and firewall enabled. Just navigating to localhost seemed to hang. The same when I disabled both firewall and protection. I tried again, this time starting WAMP as an administrator. The same hang with HIPS disabled and protection and firewall enabled. When I disabled protection and firewall, access was 'normal'. So, how do I have traffic on localhost not be affected by either the firewall or protection? I still want protection from external sources. I can make sure that WAMP is not open to outside connections.

When you are sitting at a different computer that is NOT on the same IP subnet (not connected to the same router and/or switch) and you put the EXTERNAL IP address in the browser, you don't see the web server.

Have you forwarded port 80 in the router to the internal IP address of that computer? Does your ISP allow inbound access/traffic on port 80? How would you test this? Well, first, make sure your router doesn't have a firewall blocking inbound port 80 traffic. Make sure you properly forwarded port 80. Make sure your internal IP address is static (in the DHCP table). If you have done these things... then it might be an issue with port 80. You can test it by going into WAMP and changing the port used to... whatever... 8080. This is just for testing purposes anyway. Then, go back into the router, and everywhere you dealt with port 80, change it to 8080. Then try accessing the server.

Also, you can temporarily turn off all security/firewall software while testing it. Or if you surely know how, then first check and configure firewalls. If your private network has routers there may be firewalls/custom routing preventing others to connect. See Bon Gart's answer for details.

This is how I solved the problem, and it is obvious if you think about. In Wampserver 3.2 there is a wizard to create your virtual host. However, it only used the name of the virtual host folder as the name of the virtual host server. When you access the server remotely you use the fully qualified domain name, but there is no configuration for that yet in Wampserver httpd-Vhost.conf file. Get to this file from the Wampserver->Apache menu. Copy the current vhost you want to access and paste that config into the file. Change the servername to the fully qualified domain name of the vhost. This also assumes you have a DNS CNAME entry for your vhost.

I have a WAMP server with PHP 7.2.10. When I change a file, for example .css, the changes is not visible in browser. When I "view source" via my browser (Ctrl+U) I get the updated latest version of the code. Even then, the browser doesn't display update the appearance of my site.

I have the same problem with JavaScript. I have simple jQuery code (alert after clicking the selected class), it is visible in source code of site inside browser, but when I click the selected class, nothing happens.

I found that if you call up the specific document (localhost/example/cssfile.css) in yuor browser, then "refresh" it, the document changes will update and take effect. Not sure if this is a Window's glitch, or a WAMP glitch. But that has consistantly resolved the problem for me.

How to move/copy a whole moodle site from remote to a local WAMP server. I already installed the WAMP server on my windows machine, already downloaded via ftp the whole moodle site. Now I'm on the installing part of moodle, and I don't know what settings should I made to connect somehow the downloaded moodle with the local one.

I should install first a new moodle site on my local WAMP server ? or when I'm installing the moodle ...should I make some modifications in the installing steps or some configuration files ? Or I should export from my remote website a database file, then somehow import that file in the new installation?

First you need to copy the moodle web root to your wamp web root. Then you need to copy the moodle data directory. Set permissions on the 2 directories and edit the moodle config to point to the 2 correct locations.

It's working almost everything, except the images and the swf-s not loading .....I think because I don't know how to : "Set permissions on the 2 directories " on windows 7 ...please can you explain me ?

The admin portion is working perfectly, I can create users , I can change everything I want , The css was correctly imported ......but the course material and teh images from the frontpage are little blank icons.

First of all I can't find the images path folder ...where is located this folder in moodle and what is the name of this folder and how can I run an sql query onmy moodle database to fix the paths for these images and swf course materials ?

Hi. If you view the image location in your browser it should show you the path to the image or swf file. Assuming that is not correct you would need to fix them but I would have to see your moodle installation.

hello everyone,I recently downloaded the latest release of OSTicket to deploy through WAMP server. I checked everything was okay with WAMP server first-- there was a password for everything, correct logins, etc. I filled out the information through the setup page. After I entered the information and hit submit, I received the "please wait, we are doing stuff" only to have the page become blank with nothing. I hit the refresh button (which was probably a bad idea) and it told me there was already a database prefix in use. Does this mean it already processed and I need to figure out how to display the page properly? Thanks.

Please help us to help you by reading and following this thread: Please read before requesting assistance. Thank you.I do have some additional questions though:Have you consulted your PHP error logs to see if any errors are being logged?What version of PHP are you running?Have you looked in MySQL error logs to see if any errors are being logged?Have you looked in MySQL to see if the database is setup?

PHP Version :5.4.16 MySQL Version :5.6.12 In MySQL, I already created a database. There are error logs for MySQL and Apache, but not for PHP. I was able to log into PHP MyAdmin without any issues and there were no errors displayed. I am using WAMP for a Windows 7 OS. What's specifically causing the problem is the setup-- when I click on submit, it says it's doing something but nothing happens. Is there something else I should be checking? When I checked the localhost page, there wasn't anything on it indicating a missing item or an error.

Thanks. I'll follow through with this and give you an update. I had attempted to see if the php needed changing, but the only item I was able to find on the site told me to go into the main php file and change code. I had checked that, and the code wasn't there.

It seems like you will need to change your php configuration by editing your php.ini. The default in PHP is 30s, and for some reason your server is taking longer than that.Try changing it to: max_execution_time = 300Then restart Apache, and try again.

Sorry, I got the php file confused with another one. I changed the execution time, and resubmitted the form. The page went blank again and didn't show any errors, in spite of it displaying them last time.

It took me a long time to get my local server set up. Wamp64 seems to be working fine. I can access all the main files and they seem to be stored according to recommended convention. I was able to make the theme and give it metadata via the style.css file.

Once the fresh installation is done, just move the contents from your previous wamp64\www folder in the new directory (if for example you had wamp installed in C:\wamp64 and now you installed WAMP in C:\wamp64_2 folder move the contents of www folder from C:\wamp64\www over to C:\wamp64_2\www) and you can load it all again.

One note, if you was using some databases in this your other projects you will need to move them using export and import via the phpMyAdmin or Adminer, but I find it unlikely, since the question seems like related to a luck of a specific DB type and I am guessing you are still in the first steps

I found the best way to solve this problem.we can download the add-ons for the mysql or mariaDB based on the requirements .During the process of installing be sure you are installing the right version of MYSQL

The global (not local, though I've tried both) PATH env has been set with the root of my MySQL folder ("C:\wamp64\bin\mysql\mysql5.7.26\bin") and I've restarted my machine, server etc. but still get the same error. I've also confirmed mysqldump is running and available in a normal terminal.

EDIT: See the comments below, but I've almost cracked this. My remaining issue is that I can't find any examples of the my.cnf file. Doesn't seem to be present on any Craft installs I have access to (though only this one has this issue), which means I can't manually generate it and Craft seems to be failing to do so. Any ideas?

I was used to copy a version of my online website locally, running on a WAMP server on my laptop, in order to edit the php code with Dreamweaver. I dont know how to do on the fly on the remote server and I don't trust myself, so I wanted to see what I get before putting on line...
