Are you looking for configuring a WAMP server in
windows 7 and 8 operating system?
Does u want to configure WAMP server on your
computer?
First install the WAMP
(any version mainly prefer latest version) and now I will instruct how to
configure WAMP server in windows 8 operating system.
WAMP server will
support for both IPv4 and IPv6 and mainly prefer for latest version because
while configuring it will ask u to update it for this purpose install the
currently available version.
Also your system must
run Apache server in order for configuring the WAMP server to work properly (use
Apache 2.2.21).
Follow the instructions
correctly to configure WAMP server
Ø Check
whether the WAMP is installed properly in your system.
Ø Now
go to “C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts folder to check for the local
host.
Ø Here
you need to open your editor with “Run as Administrator”
Ø Remove
the # symbol from the line 127.0.0.1 local host.(# refers to comment)
Ø If
it shows any errors in removing the # or it doesn’t exist means don’t remove
the #.
Ø Start WAMP server from your task bar. If it does
not available in your taskbar means there is a problem in your installation.
Restart your system and then check
Ø When
the WAMP server started ,it will show in green color which means it was enabled
Ø Then
perform wampmanager->localhost. Here you will see the wamp information page.
Up to this u need to perform correctly in order to
configure it. If anything goes wrong means u have to check the mistakes and run
the following commands properly.
Following
Information’s needed to be checked:
1. The :: 1 ip address available in that host is an
IPv6 address. Defaultly Apache does not support in the IPv6 address space but
moreover in windows 7 and 8 it will be already present in the IPv6 address.
2. Here you will get the following message “You have
no permission”, because you are currently the wamp using IPv6 local host
address but Apache will allow you to access only from 127.0.0.1 local host(using
httpd.conf)
