WampServer Official Site

This awesome server can be found for download at official web page WampServer. Let’s Run through the Installation first and then I’ll go in to detail about the administration.

              

                   

Step 1

You will find two options for the selection of WampServer for your windows 7 after clicking on “Download” link at the main navigation of WampServer official site.

• Download WampServer 2.1d (64 bits)
• Download WampServer 2.1e (32 bits)

My windows 7 is 64 bit, so I will proceed with the download of WampServer 2.1 d 64 bits version.

          

Step 2

I am using Google Chrome for the presentation of this tutorial, so you will notice “Save” button at the lower left corner of the browser. There will be “Save Dialog” in case of Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer.

Step 3

Click on Save button, WampServer is starting to download after clicking on the save button. You can save WampServer file in any location in your hard drive.

Step 9

It is very important step of WampServer installation. I will recommend to install WampServer at the drive other than Windows 7 installation. Suppose your Windows 7 is install in C drive so you should install WampServer on D, E or any other location in hard drive except C drive.

I am going to install WampServer in D drive. Now you can click on Next button after selecting installation location for WampServer 2.1d

.

           

Select Destination Location of WampServer

Step 10

When you click on the Next button then a Select Additional Tasks dialog will appear on your screen, if you would like setup to perform while installing WampServer 2. You can check following options,

• Create a Quick Launch icon
• Create a Desktop icon

I have not interested to create any icon in the above locations, but you can do. You will be at “Ready  to Install” window after clicking Next button.

Step 11

Setup is now ready to begin installing WampServer 2.1d on your computer. Click on Install button to start installation of WampServer 2.1d.

Step 15

You will notice a “Windows Firewall” standard dialog while configuring Apache by WampServer. (You may not observe this, if your windows firewall is not active). Click on “Allow Access” by leaving default options as such to proceed for PHP mail parameters.

            

Apache HTTP Server

Step 16

After allowing access to Apache server, you are at SMTP server configuration dialog. You can specify the SMTP server and the address mail to be used by PHP when using the function mail(). I will recommend the following values,

• SMTP: localhost
• Email: Your email address.

Click “Next” after putting the above values for the installation final dialog.

                 

PHP Mail Parameters

Step 17

You have successfully installed WampServer 2.1 d along with Apache, MySql, PHP, phpMyAdmin and SqlBuddy at your computer.

Click “Finish” to start WampServer along with other services. Leave “Launch WampServer 2 now” check-box checked to start WampServer automatically after installation.

• Red
• Yellow

Red:

WampServer red icon is showing that WampServer is Offline and no service has been started yet i.e Apache, PHP and MySql.

Green WampServer Icon

Step 19

It is time to test our WampServer with the installed services of Apache, PHP, MySql and phpMyAdmin. Please follow the steps to test WampServer at Windows 7.

• Be sure, WampServer icon is green at taskbar
• Open your favorite browser
