IMPORTANT: by default there’s the index.php file inside the www folder. Quite obviously the URL we need to specify now is localhost/test_folder/test.php You can create a sub-folder inside the file in it. You should get the “Yeah, it works!” message. There you will find the folder called Create a file, name it test.php, and add the following contentĭon’t forget the file should be placed inside the C:\wamp\in the address bar. Open the folder where you’ve installed WAMP, in my case it’s C:\wamp. The first thing we should learn is where to upload files.
#SETTING UP WAMP SERVER HOW TO#
I’m reading your mind, right? 🙂 Let’s cover some basics of a local server: how to create, manage databases, “upload” files and some other useful stuff. This means the local server is up and running now. You’ll notice a new icon in the tray area – a box with a green letter W in it. We got to the final installation screen – tick “ Launch WampServer 2 now” and Finish. When the installation completes you’ll get a screen to configure “ PHP mail parameters” – you can leave the settings as they are, as the PHP mail function won’t work on a local server anyways. There’s basically not much to explain there as you won’t have any options, just click Next, Next, and Next 🙂 Start the downloaded file and run through the installation.
#SETTING UP WAMP SERVER DOWNLOAD#
You’ll get a pop-up window where you need to fill a lot of personal info or just click the “ download it directly” link. Now that you know the bit version of your Windows, you can download the correct WAMP bundle.
#SETTING UP WAMP SERVER WINDOWS#
To find out which version you have, you can check this link Windows 32-bit or 64-bit. You’ll be offered to download WAMP either for 32-bit or 64-bit Windows (Microsoft labels them as x86 or 圆4). Visit the official website of WampServer, then click the “ Downloads” button. An interesting fact is that 90% of servers all over the world are running on Apache with PHP + MySQL.
This is basically a bundle of “software” required to start a server.
Or maybe you want to test WordPress or some other CMS on your PC, before uploading it to a production server? There is one way to “fix” all that – setup a local server directly on your PC.Ī simple and flexible solution is WampServer. New to websites, CMS, PHP and all that stuff? Don’t want to pay for a server and domain name till you learn what that all stuff really means?
