Wamp wamp wamp - can't get wamp to run

yeah...tried Notepad and dreamweaver and none of them worked. Does seem like a syntax error though. I may have to uninstall and reinstall one more time and see how it goes.

THANK YOU!:sadwalk:

this is my last shot...

When I try to access my phpmyadmin I get error:

**Error

MySQL said: Documentation
#2003 - Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)**
when i look this up, it is telling me

**Error: 1061 SQLSTATE: 42000 (ER_DUP_KEYNAME)

Message: Duplicate key name '%s'**

Here is the config.inc.php I had made changes to:

/ Servers configuration */
$i = 0;

/* Server: localhost [1] */
$i++;
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['verbose'] = 'localhost';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = 'localhost';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['port'] = '';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['socket'] = '';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['connect_type'] = 'tcp';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['extension'] = 'mysqli';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'config';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'root';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'xxxxxx';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPasswordRoot'] = true;

/* End of servers configuration */

$cfg['DefaultLang'] = 'en-utf-8';
$cfg['ServerDefault'] = 1;
$cfg['UploadDir'] = '';
$cfg['SaveDir'] = '';*

FYI. when i reinstalled the program it completely skipped the step of me logging into phpmyAdmin and adding a password.

I hope this is fixable :bangin:

I forgot to take off my firewall, but when i did I got this error:

MySQL said: Documentation
#1045 - Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
phpMyAdmin tried to connect to the MySQL server, and the server rejected the connection. You should check the host, username and password in your configuration and make sure that they correspond to the information given by the administrator of the MySQL server.

I'm in now...all i did was delete the password from my config.inc.php file. not sure how this all worked out, though...

Did you set up correct privileges in phpMyAdmin first, before making any changes to config.inc.php? Check that the privileges are for user "root", host "localhost", and password matches. If you haven't set up privileges, reset config.inc.php to default values and try accessing phpMyAdmin again.

Edit: Okay, glad to hear it's now working.

not sure how this all worked out, though...

I think all that happened was you did the steps in the wrong order. You need privileges set up first before altering config.inc.php.

It's really embarrassing to keep asking for help...but I got this far and don't want to quit now.

As per the instructions, after i created a new user 'zencart' under 'local host' and created a database and then proceeded to extract zencart files to c:\wamp\www\zencart and changed the two dist-config files to config files: (and made sure all services were running)

I get a 404 not found

The requested URL /zc_install/index.php was not found on this server.**

help :cry:

Try this url:
http://localhost/zencart/zc_install/index.php

your awesome :hug:

wish i can say this is the end of the thread, but don't dare get too excited yet :smile:

Glad to help :smile:

It will be worth all the trouble. Wamp is amazing. You can make a change to your site in seconds.

just like to report everything is working great with wamp and the new site...thanks to all, especially you, Steven300!

I am having some other technical issue, which may or may not be related to adding wamp.

When i installed Wamp I had to use Firefox as it's browser otherwise I couldn't get it to work. I've always used IE and would like to continue to since I am familiar with it and have all my favorites on it. The problem is, is that it keeps shutting down on me. I can get it back up if I restart my computer, but i can be in the middle of something and it shuts down. My guess is that there is some sort of conflict between Firefox and IE. Anyway to fix this issue?

Thanks!

don't get me wrong, firefox is cool! but if i can have both so i don't have restart all over on my favorites that would be nice :smile:

Fixed it :jump:

FYI. If anyone is having a similiar issue here is the information i found from a mozilla forum:

**go to

• start
• control panel
• add or remove program
• set program access and defaults
• custom (click on the arrow right)
• check Firefox as default browser and enable access to IE
• click ok
  This should work. If not; do the same and set IE as default browser and enable Firefox. Than shut down both browsers and check if they both work. If so repeat the procedure and check Firefox as default browser and enable access to IE. This resets it again.**

Mw,
Glad to see Steven300 and you got the old girl up and running.
this post will help others in the fight for loading Wamp.

Enjoy building zen offline to make changes, then upload to a live site...

hi all,

a couple of stupid but quick questions....

i took down my test site and i am going to install wamp and setup my test site locally.

wamp is installed and all seems good. i am going to install zen cart. but before i do.

do i need to start all services?
do i need to put the server online?

and what about these errors:

ATTENTION: Problems Found

• CURL not compiled into PHP - notify server administrator more info...
• CURL not compiled into PHP - notify server administrator more info...
• CURL not compiled into PHP - notify server administrator more info...
• CURL not compiled into PHP - notify server administrator more info...

do i need to install curl first? if so how? :blush:

thanks

everything is up and running. for those who are interested in enabling curl and stopping those curl error messages during install, here is how:

1. Close WAMP (if running)
2. Navigate to WAMP\bin\php(your version of php)\
3. edit php.ini
4. Search for curl, uncomment extension=php_curl.dll
5. Navigate to WAMP\bin\Apache(your version of apache)\bin\
6. edit php.ini
7. Search for curl, uncomment extension=php_curl.dll
8. Save both
9. Restart WAMP

You could also dump WAMP all together and use XAMP. It's also free and I have used it for my home installed test site for quite a while. No issues at all under Vista Ultimate, run Opera, Firefox, IE multi versions plus Photoshop and Dreamweaver without a glitch while Outlook 2007 runs in the background.

Just my 2 cents....
