fortnox007 Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Hi all, i am used to xampp, since it is very easy to install, but i thought lets test something new so i thought i give wamp a try. Anyone have thought about that? (also because pretty much every forum someone says xampp sucks) Would love to hear from you guys Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/227701-wamp-any-tips/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
requinix Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 It's designed to be idiot-proof. No offense. I've seen people get confused about where it places some files (notably php.ini) but otherwise it's quite good for a quick setup.

lastkarrde Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Wamp is alot easier to use than XAMPP. You can enable/disable Apache mod_s and PHP extensions via the GUI menu. No need to edit the .ini file yourself. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/227701-wamp-any-tips/#findComment-1174400 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunfighter Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Tips not needed, it's easy to install (you don't have to configure anything) easy to use. Make a folder called wamp on your C: drive and put it there. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/227701-wamp-any-tips/#findComment-1174407 Share on other sites More sharing options...

fortnox007 Posted February 15, 2011 Author Share Posted February 15, 2011 I just installed it and it looks awesome. One thing i did though was change the password for root, but now phpmyadmin doesn't allow access lols. Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) I tried to change it back to empty, but that had no effect. anyone an idea? or how to allow a newly created user to it's own phpmyadmin? or how to use a password. the link it uses goed directly to http://localhost/phpmyadmin/ and results in an error log in. no inputfields or anything for phpmyadmin Any help is welcome Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/227701-wamp-any-tips/#findComment-1174426 Share on other sites More sharing options...
