WampServer

Hi everybody !

The patch which adds functionnalities to the WampServer menu is now available on SourceForge.
Project is now under license GNU General Public Licence v3

It has been updated to version 2.1 because I have added a license note into each source file of the project and a license.txt in project's root, and corrected two minors problems.

An overview of improvements provided by the patch, is still available in the Album Patch WampServer (but will be migrated elsewhere).
I have added new screenshots of the patch interface (homepage, generation page and console mode), on the project presentation on SourceForge (see link below).

For those who discover the patch and who want to get an overview of its functionnalities, I recommand to consult the components list (non-exhaustive) in the english manual.

Hi, I dont get this patch working at all or I have missed something. I cant open the manuals so no help there!
The only part I can see is when I open localhost I have "settings". I open settings but I cant do anything there.
Can you semd me some step by step from the very beginning ie installation and then how to start, how do I install all components?

Regards/Per

I uploaded an html version of the manual.
You can download it here : [sourceforge.net]

To have a short step by step installation :
- Download the patch from the link : [sourceforge.net] in Current Release section.
- Unrar all content under wamp/apps folder
- Run install.bat to setup an alias for the patch (alias settings by default)
- Go to 'http://localhost/settings/' and you should have the main page of the patch.
- Click on install in the component section you want to install
- Don't forget to refresh wamp menu to see modifications (right click on wamp icon -> Refresh)
- Enjoy

Hi,

Have follow yours step but I cant Click on "Install" as I cant see any link or button called that in setting page. Cant see any compontent to install either so have I missed something??

Regards/Per

See apps/install_class/error_logs or php error log from wamp menu to get php errors.
I didn't mention that the patch requires at least php5 to work (better design of object model)

That last explains it, I need to have both php4 and 5 as I have a couple homepages built in 4. Is it possible to tweak this patch to work för even 4? At least so I can chose diff phpmyadmin version?

Or will it work if I chose in php5 and install the diff function from your patch and then chose back to php4?

Regards/Per

You can install all components from php5.
Then, you are able to use functionnalities from php4.
You can either delete this application, it will still work with installed functionnalities

I tried a php4 version but I was faced to too many problems, such as keywords, var by reference, undefined functions, and so on...

You need to understand that developing same projects under two differents versions of php is not simple (synchronize everytime). Since it works when installing from php5, version php4 is not useful.

Thanks for your interest

Wow, this works fantastic! One thing have I observed, when using php4 then it should be a warning in phpmyadmin that version 3 is not working together ie the red warning-triangle is missing.

Regards/Per

phpmyadmin addon was developed by myself and I didn't set a compatibility table,
so I don't bother if a phpmyadmin version is compatible or not..
You should use the last version for php5, or last version on the valid branch for php4 (shown on phpmyadmin website).

Hi, Now is most of the functionality up and running but I have a question around getting access to my desktop computer (which have wamp installed) from my laptop internal. I'm running a wireless network and I'm seeking after a guide to setup so I can access my server wireless over the LAN, any tip here would be great?

I assume I set the wamp to run in LAN mode but what else do I need to do?

If I want to reach my desktop outside the LAN I assume I set the wamp in WAN mode + open up my router and firewall to have http access both way?

Regards/Per

open up my router and firewall to have http access both way

You need to open the port, so everybody can access your webserver, but only request from LAN are allowed..

Yeah I have open up port 80 in both my router and firewall but I seems not be able to access my webserver from outside meaning via mine ip address. I have tested to have the server in both WAN and LAN without any luck. Do I need to setup any DNS pointing to my router or what can it be? How can I check that port 80 is open in my router?

FORGET this. It seems that my ISP needs to be contact as I cant open up ports in my router or the function is not working correct in my router. I will be back if more help is needed!

don't ever mention web server or wamp to your isp or your account would be suppended; if your isp block port 80, then use different port; also, you might have problem w/ routers since not all router is easy for setting port forward

Yeah I know, this router seems to be a striped version of Thomson GT787 so many of the function seems not be working as normal.

But the fun part of this striped version is that the option to have rules for gaming/programmes are available and I can chose HTTP Web Server (port 80 is preffered in settings for this option) to the pc in the network.

But it seems that I need to contact them for actually open ports.

As this router is a combined one with adsl I'm thinking if the possiblity to swicth of the wireless and use this as only adsl and connect an other router. Do you have any tip if this is possible and how I should configure theese 2 together?

An other question around the different option of availabilty (PC, LAN and WAN): As I have a 100% wireless network how should I best configure to reach my wampserver from different PC/Laptops in my wireless network?

Regards/Per

There is no problem with wireless..
When you are connected to the LAN, you get a lan ip, so it would be accepted by Apache.
If you prefer, its transparent...
Sorry, I don't know how to open ports on your router, since I got a box with an easy control panel.

suggest to use your current modem/router as modem only, ie. disable router if possible then buy a new router and I recommend Netgear brands as I've just spent only 30 bucks for this router WNR3500 which has 3 most important features for router nowadays: Wireless N, Gigabit ports, and Range Max supported 300Mbps wireless, and 10 pieces WN111 for 10 bucks/each so we can put in 10 rooms for wireless access instead spending too much money to rewire ethernet cable for the whole house

With Netgear routers, it's very easy to setup port forward, remote router access, NAT setup for local web view, so on

Thxs Yfastud, I have already an other router D-link DIR615 which should have nearly the same options that netgear or more and I have runned this before so I think it will be solved.

when we can download new wamp server 2.1?

This is not an official patch..
I developed it by myself to add functionnalities to WampServer.
This project is not depending on WampServer version since it's an independant project.
I give community this patch to install/uninstall components to extends Wamp menu possibilities.

Try it and leave your comments here
