   Help please! I have followed the article and installed wamp, created the wp database but culd not be able to run complete configuration of wp. Its telling me “can’t select database”. Try Again. Please help me to fix this. Thanks.

   Responder

   • WPBeginner Support

     During the installation when it asks for your database details, please make sure that you are entering the same name for the database which you used when creating database in phpmyadmin. For username, use root and leave password blank.

     Upon opening mysql workbench, choose your connection, then write the code without quotes “create database nameofyourdatabase;” this will be the name of your database and what you will use in the wordpress setup when it asks for the name of your 1)database(use nameofyourdatabase) 2)username 3)password 4)database host(im using “localhost”)

     Hope this helps.

    I was able to install WP, but I’d like to know how to manage different web logs within my local server. Thank you for the instructions and tutorials here.

    Responder

    • WPBeginner Support

      you can install different weblogs (blogs or websites) on the same server by installing wordpress in different sub-directories inside your /wamp/www folder. For example:

      C:\wamp\www\site-1 will open in http://localhost/site-1
      C:\wamp\www\site-2 will open in http://localhost/site-2

      This could happen for a number of reasons. Try to uninstall wampserver and then download and reinstall again. If the problem presists, then you can try XAMPP.

    Hello,

    I have installed WAMP on Windows 8 but I am having a problem creating a data base due to the following error (You don’t have permission to access /phpmyadmin/ on this server). I have edited the htpd.conf file as follows

    Open file httpd.conf through wamp tray icon

    Find:
    # onlineoffline tag – don’t remove
    Order Deny,Allow
    Deny from all
    Allow from 127.0.0.1

    Change to:
    # onlineoffline tag – don’t remove
    Order Deny,Allow
    Allow from all

    Then saved but still get the same error, why!? Norton 360 is installed on the PC
    and no other conflicting apps. I need some help to fix this issue. Any ideas? Thank you in advance.

    Hi,
    After installing WAMP in accordance with your instructions, I could not open phpmyadmin; explorer kept waiting for localhost. I’m not a pc techie so I desperately need instructions how to proceed furter in the same easy way as your manual above. I have a 64 bit W7 machine, and installed the 64 bit version of WAMP first, but since that did not work as described , I installed the 32 bit, but with the same result. Thanks for your help in advance ! (No Skype, port 80 OK, as far as I can see)

    Responder

    • WPBeginner Support

      Try restarting all services make sure that WAMPServer icon is green also make sure that Skype is not running in the background. Also look at this support thread for more possible solutions.

        Thanks a lot: I followed your recommended thread and I removed a double line in the Host file (‘127.0.0.1 Localhost’) that seemed too much and now I can get to a log-in page of phpMyAdmin, which is great, but I have not yet even entered an ID and password during initial installation of WAMP. Did I miss something ?
        Thanks for your patience again…

          To log in to phpMyAdmin, enter username root and leave password blank.

    Can I run more than 1 test site on WAMP? and any ideas of how I would go about this please?

      in your www directory create new directories for each website. That way you can run multiple sites on localhost.

    Hello. I want to be able to develop my wordpress site locally and not have to be connected to the web when I make changes and do save or update inside wordpress. Before I go through all the installation of WAMP and WP locally, can anyone tell me if I will have to have internet access to make updates to a wordpress running locally in WAMP? Sure I realize if I wanted a new Theme or Plugin, I would have to be online, but if I am just making adjustments to text and adding pictures that are already on my laptop, etc. will I have to have internet access to do so? I ask because I do a lot of travel where I am on an airplane and could be working on a new version of a website if I don’t have to be online. Also, I can’t afford a wireless account for my laptop, so I only have internet when I am at home with my own wifi or when I am somewhere that has a free wifi. Thanks.

      no you do not need an internet connection to work locally on your website.

    I followed the instructions to the letter, installed WAMP and the required SP1 Visual C++ on a brand new laptop running Windows 8 64bit. The installation refuses to launch, brings up a screen asking if I’m sure I want to let this programme make changes to the computer, then does nothing when ‘Yes’ is clicked. What is going wrong?

    Responder

    • WPBeginner Support

      Does the wampserver icon appear in your windows taskbar? If it does, then you need to click it and launch wampserver.

        Please help. I installed WAMP but when I went to open phphMyAdmin, nothing happens. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but still getting the same problem. I’m not even getting any sort of popup block notification in my browser. Just nothing.

        I wonder if this might have something to do with the WARNING window that popped up on the WAMP website before I downloaded it… It said something in French, and then something about needing to install C++ which I know nothing about, and which was not mentioned in this tutorial.

        Do I need to install C++ and if so, do I need to learn how to use the programming language before I can finish this tutorial on installing Wordpress? I am a designer, not a programmer, so I hope to god I don’t need to stop everything and go learn C++ before I can do a simple Wordpress install.

        Responder

        • WPBeginner Support

          Brynn you can always check whether or not Microsoft Visual C++ is installed on your computer from Control Panel -> Programs and Features. Do you see wampserver page when you visit http://localhost? If you do, then you have already successfully installed WAMP.

    Got WAMP installed, but when I try to create a new databse by clicking on the phpMyAdmin button in WAMP the chrome browser window that opens up says:

    Forbidden
    You don’t have permission to access /phpmyadmin/ on this server.

    Can anyone point me in the right direction as to what this is and how to fix it? I don’t know if this makes a difference but I have it installed on my secondary hard drive, not my C drive (the c drive just has my operating system).

    Responder

27. Asad Riaz

    Here is how you edit the htpd.conf file

    Open file httpd.conf through wamp tray icon

    Find:
    # onlineoffline tag – don’t remove
    Order Deny,Allow
    Deny from all
    Allow from 127.0.0.1

    Change to:
    # onlineoffline tag – don’t remove
    Order Deny,Allow
    Allow from all

    Plus resolution to some other conflicts

    Make sure no other program conflict wamp such as Xampp, phpEasy, IIS, Skype, Zonealarm, firewall/antivirus, NOD32, Eset, any web and/or Remote Desktop related program, such as Teamviewer …

    IIS and Apache/Wamp are both web server and might conflict in some way, so you have to disable IIS in order for Wamp to work

    Disable IIS in Vista/W7:

    Control Panel, Uninstall Programs, Turn Widows Features On or Off, uncheck Internet Information Services

    Disable IIS in XP:

    Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs, Add/Remove Windows Components, uncheck Internet Information Services (IIS)

    Restart computer, then restart Wamp

    Also, in folder C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers\etc, open file hosts and delete anything in this file and have only this line below and nothing else

    127.0.0.1 localhost

    If using Skype, go to Tools->Options->Advanced->Connection and uncheck the box “Use 80 and 443 as alternatives for incoming connections”. Restart Skype after WAMP. Now you will be able to use both programs at the same time w/o problems.

    I hope it helps, found it on net

    Howdy,

    Well i have managed to install it using the article. Some info was missing in this article like

    1. Once you click on phpMyAdmin, it asks for login details, so here they are:
    username: root
    pass: (leave it blank)
    2. WAMP sometimes gets offline and it wont open the phpMyAdmin page, so you guys need to edit the htpd.conf file in C:wamp/bin/apache4.2/conf/htpd

    Lets see now how much it helps me.

    I m here for all the support that i can extend.

    Hi,

    Thank you for providing this excellent tutorial! It’s going to be great to get use to using WP onn my PC before I install it on my host server and create my website.

    I followed your instructions and installed WAMP and then Wordpress and got all the screens you showed here… and with the tweaking you suggested, I was finally able to open WP – saw the Dashboard, etc. Then I closed it.

    But now I can’t seem to open WP. I open WAMP and click on Localhost – and it just sits “waiting for response from localhost” – does not open anything. I’ve tried http://localhost/my database name – it will not open – I get “HTTP 500 Internal Server Error”. Just in case, I also followed your instructions on SKYPE and unchecked that Port 80 box.

    What am I missing?

          I had this same problem with the phpmyadmin and I found and made the changes cited here to the alias file, then restarted WAMP and I was able to create my database. However, now I’m getting the same Forbidden message when I try to install Wordpress on my localhost, exact text below:

          Forbidden
          You don’t have permission to access / on this server.

          I can get to the WP install screen from 127.0.0.1, but not localhost. I’m running Windows 8. Any ideas on how to get this to install? Thanks in advance for any help you might be able to give me.

41. Akshay

    Hi.

    I wanted to use this method to test out plugins before installing then on my live site. So in your tutorial, instead of copying in clean WordPress files, I copied in a full backup of my site made using BackupBuddy.

    However from this point on I’m not sure what to modify in order for my site to function correctly offline. I edited my wp-config file to the new database details, and imported my database from my online phpmyadmin to the WAMP one. However it seems like there’s something I’m missing, as when I try to access localhost/site/wp-admin I am redirected to my online login page.

    Do you have any suggestions?

    Thanks very much for your help.

    Another (lazy) point for XAMPP : I know there are some differences in the config files, but I use both linux (at home) and Windows (Seven and 8) at work, so I appreciate having the same interface for I only have to learn once.

    Responder

43. Andre

    Great article and easy instructions for those who want to venture into WAMPP….however, for myself, I still prefer XAMPP and do run it on it’s own on a second drive without the installable version. Updating is a breeze, although I rarely need to.

    I’ve used XAMPP for many years now for both WordPress and Joomla theme development, as well for a testing server. Never had issues and I do find it quite easy to use. I used to use the full version but I found that the Lite version works extremely well.

    I noticed someone said AMPPS, but I’ve never tried that…perhaps in my spare time I will try it out.

    I’m a very beginner with WordPress and I have created a site with it and WAMP on my computer.

    Now I want to put it online, but I don’t know how to do it.
    Where does a tutorial exist for that?
    The thing is that I want to replace the current site, which is hosted somewhere else, and so keeping the domain name.

    Does anyone know where I can find this kind of information?

    WAMP in the older days was great! Now there is a far more better and less embarrassing way when it comes to configuring things with WAMP. WAMP is in the past and gone for me. I use AMPPS far more better no configurations, just install and a few dips of changes in the options section that’s it. Open your browser go to your localhost and install any cms or other scripting lang within your browser using ampps. You’ll be amazed! No more downloading then extracting in www folder and then reconfiguring. Wordpress is just a click and install on ampps. No hassle! Shouldn’t you guys write something about AMPPS? This is a lot more better than WAMP! WAMP lags a lot of things like cgi and stuff those are extras, but on ampps everything is included. Ever since ampps I never looked back to wamp! Sorry!

    Responder

    • Editorial Staff

      Have been using WAMP for so long that didn’t even bother with another option. AMPPS sure looks good. Good to see that it is made by the folks from Softaculous. Will have to give it a try.

      WAMP is much simpler and easier to use compared to XAMPP.

        Would second that. WAMP is easier to use. Several years ago when we used XAMPP the upgrade process was complicated and it was buggy. We switched over to WAMP and it was awesome.

    Just to mention, that Team Viewer also causes problems with WAMP.

    I actually do prefer XAMPP and DTX-Control for I can overcome security policy : Installation without administration rights (zip file pour the web server) and full access to blocked ports (80, 443, 3306).
