Whitestripes9805 Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Hey I just downloaded WAMP and it's open but when i go to it and click put online I get an error that says: Aestan Tray Menu Could not execute menu item (internal error) [Exception] Could not perform service action: the service has not been started Help please. Sidenote: I'm trying to create a database in Access that will be avalible on a website, so when people fill in a field and hit submit then it will update on Access. Is this what I need to do that?

james_byrne Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 in my opinion i would use a mysql database instead, of a access one. But see this tutorial on how to use a access database with php: http://www.databasedev.co.uk/microsoft-access-and-php.html. With the wamp error, i have no idea. I have used mamp quite a bit and never seen that error. My best guess would be to try to reinstall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitestripes9805 Posted July 30, 2008 Author Share Posted July 30, 2008 Ok thanks. Now I have another problem though. When i install PHP i'll get the point where it says pick a webserver and i don't know what to select. So I choose the bottom option which is continue with no webserver. And then i get this error: "Error trying to access httpd.conf file. You will need to manually configure the webserver." EDIT: Also I have no website. The site you listed above says "Tip: This configuration has to be done on the computer where your web site is located." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james_byrne Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 When I have installed WAMP in the past I do not remember that option, I will look when i get a miniuite though and see what i can come up with. And i do not understand what you mean by you do not have a website. WAMP is server software that runs Apache, Mysql, and PHP server all in one. So the box that you install wamp on will be hosting your site. Unless you were to move it to another box when the code is finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveSamuel Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Hi, the solution is simple: under Apache open the httpd.conf and change the lines #Listen 12.34.56.78:80 Listen 80 to #Listen 12.34.56.78:80 Listen 8080 save the file and you are done. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
