WAMP Server 2

Out of curiosity, does anyone have any experience setting up on a localhost using Wamp Server 2.0 ?

I just tried and I get this error,

"Unable to open WampServer's config file, please change path in index.php file"

There doesn't apepar to be anything to amend in that file that would correct the issue

I followed the same routine as setting Wamp5 but now I'm stuck

Re: WAMP Server 2

I am currently trying but keep bumping into problem, just about to try on a clean install.

Just setup WAMPServer 2.0 using the guides at http://guides.jlbn.net/

Everything with WAMP is working as it should. So far I have:

added a root password in phpMyAdmin
edited config.inc.php in folder C:/wamp/apps/phpmyadmin2.10.1
- $cfg['blowfish_secret'] = ''; (password hint)
- $cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'config'; (change config to cookie)
Saved and Restarted
Created a new folder called "F_Mill" in wamp/www/" for my html/css/etc
Created a new phpMyAdmin user called mnutz, also created a databse with same name.
Turned on ssl_module in WAMP/Apache and php_curl as zencart needs these.

I have just unzipped zencart v1.3.8a into wamp/www/F_Mill/

Now, fingers crossed it installs fine, and phpMyAdmin works after :D

EDIT: Oh, I have no knowledge of server setup or anything more advanced than HTML & CSS.

Re: WAMP Server 2

Just installed it, went through all the screens, entered all the correct info etc. selected SSL in one of the last screens and completed the install.

Zen store page works fine.

However the admin page does not.

https://localhost/F_Mill/admin/login.php

gives the following error :

Unable to connect
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost.

Making https: to http: loads the login screen but upon entering the correct username and password I get the above error about firefox not being able to connect. Its a https: address again :(

However, phpMyAdmin still seems to be working which is a bonus :D

Time for more googling it seems!

Re: WAMP Server 2

Why would you install, choosing SSL?
Does you localhost have SSL certificate assigned to it?
If not, that is why admin is not working.

Re: WAMP Server 2

I assumed that the ssl_module in WAMP>Apache Modules>ssl_module was for.

I have that running at the moment.

How do I remove the need for ssl now after install?

Re: WAMP Server 2

If you have only just installed, remove and reinstall zencart,
BUT do not choose SSL option.
Otherwise, you will have to alter the two configure.php files,
and remove SSL config from both those i.e.
/includes/configure.php and
/admin/includes/configure.php..
Easier to choose first option.

Re: WAMP Server 2

Nice one mate, sorted.:clap::bigups:

Now I have got to delete zc_install and write-protect \includes\configure.php.

Then, I just have to learn my way around, and get a fully functioning decent looking web store setup by the 3rd Feb so I can make it live :unsure:

No need to delete, might be useful later.. just rename.

write-protect \includes\configure.php.

configure.php.. right click, choose properties, tick
box that says read only(if you are using WindowsXP)

Zencart live on localhost, is not intended option, re security..
Just incase you were thinking of using WAMP as live store

Yeah, I am aware of the security issues.

I am purely using it to develop a e-store for a local picture frame business, once its all sorted I will be uploading it to their web host/domain.
