Bman900 Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Well I had a WAMP package installed on my Vista 64bit PC and then my motherboard burned out so now am on my laptop. I just tried installing the newest WAMP server on the laptop which happens to be a Vista 64bit as well but for some strange reason it doesn't work like on my PC. So my question is what other packages are out there for windows for such services so I can run web applications on my PC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFMaBiSmAd Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 it doesn't work like on my PC What exactly does it do? In programming, it is always best to troubleshoot and find out what is causing a problem and fix it, because all the other WAMP like packages could behave the same way if the problem is something to do with your computer or your code and you could just end up wasting a lot of time trying things that have nothing to do with the problem.

PFMaBiSmAd Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 A) Have you tried a basic .html file? Most WAMP packages have a default index.htm or index.html file that should display something. B) Have you tried a basic .php file, such as - <?php phpinfo(); ?> C) What does a 'view source' in your browser of the blank pages show? D) Have you checked the web server and operating system log files to see if there are any relevant error messages? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug G Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 I use xampp myself. Here's a long list of alternatives: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_WAMPs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bman900 Posted February 16, 2011 Author Share Posted February 16, 2011 Well I did have a basic HTML page and that did nothing, I also just tried a php page with phpinfo() and still nothing. I checked the pages source, and all blank too. What else can I do since I really need this on my laptop to work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bman900 Posted February 16, 2011 Author Share Posted February 16, 2011 Well I installed EasyPHP-5.3.5.0 and it works so I guess WAMP just does not like vista Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
