I’m trying to install a WAMP server on my home computer, so once I download and start the server and go to localhost… all seems ok, but when I go to phpmyadmin (localhost/phpmyadmin) I get a forbidden error and dont know what thats telling me… Is it possible that somethings blocking my ability to use that database management tool
Hi Luke!
-
Where is localhost located? If it’s in the Program Files directory (of Vista or later), it’s protected so you can’t change anything in there unless your running WAMP as administrator.
-
PHPMyAdmin requires some setup (at least the daemon version). Look in its conf subdirectory and follow the directions there - although I’m surprised that WAMP didn’t configure that for you correctly. Finally, is there a conflict with anything else using Port 80?
-
Specific help on “canned programs” are best handled by their dedicated forum - where people have probably asked the same question hundreds of times.
