Ampps vs wamp install#
Step 2: Download and Install WordPress Onto Your Windows Computer. Step 1: Download and Install WAMP on Your Local Computer. Why Install a WordPress Website Locally?. okay i will let you know if this works for me.Thank you so much.Į. Hi sorry for the late reply… wow this is very detailed. To access wamp server use “localhost:9090/”Īnd for database connection string you have to use localhost:3307 for all your script from wordpress, joomla to magento Now when you access the phpmyadmin with wamp you will be accessing the wamp mysql engineĮ.g if now we use the following url “localhost:9090/phpmyadmin/” you will access the wamp mysql along with wamp server It is possible that you see these lines below To do that go the location “C:\wamp\apps\phpmyadmin3.5.1” now phpmyadmin3.5.1 may be different according to your version but the things will be pretty much the same so to fix that problem find the file “” To tackel that problem we need to make a small change in another area which is phpmyadmin interface code. whenever you try to access phpmyadmin you will be seeing the xampp server or the one which is started first Last part is to access the wamp mysql from wamp phpmyadmin interface. This will enable your wamp mysql to access along with xampp mysql due to different port address. Port = 3306 and replace it with port = 3307 To do that you have to go the mysql location which is in my machine is like this “C:\wamp\bin\mysql\mysql5.5.24”. The wamp mysql will not start entirely and you will also get no problem with that because using the url “localhost/phpmyadmin/” will show the xampp phpmyadmin so to tackle this problem you have to change the mysql port to another number. if you don’t do this you will be accessing the xampp mysql interface and engine which will make you confuse if you don’t know about it because then you will be thinking of adding your scripts in wamp so technically all the databases should be in the wamp as well but in reality the xampp server will take preference if xampp is already running and port is used from the xampp mysql. Now this is the second most important part. The another line is also in the same file just search for this line “ServerName localhost:80” and replace it with “ServerName localhost:9090” open the file in any editor or notepad and search for this “Listen 80” and change it with “Listen 9090” that means now your server will listen on port number 9090 instead of default port. one in apache location “C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache*.*.**\conf” where stars are basically the version number. now this thing requires two small changes in a file which is nf You need to change the port number for apache. īasically the trick is to change the port for the wamp apache server and mysql, by default apache listen on port 80 for browsers and mysql listen for port 3306 Yes you can Install wamp and xampp on same machine.
