hi there, Im new to all this.
Firstly I downloaded Wampstack for my Windows Vista Home Premium

Wampstack downloaded fine. I go log into phpMyAdmin using username = administrator and password.
This opened up fine.

However when I downloaded drupal, I was asked for these things

1 – Please enter the port that the apache web server will listen to
This was defaulted to 80
Error I got = ERROR – Unable to Bind to Port number. Select another one.
I entered 8080 and it got through but not the next port for mySql.

And
2 – mySql Server Port 3306 This is taken or No authentification.

I read to readjust my Security settings, which I did. Tried again. Still Same problem.
I even uninstalled and downloaded again with Security settings fixed. Same deal.

Not sure where to go. Can anyone help out?
I’m a novice to all this stuff.

Regards
Wolfie

Hi,

If you want to install Drupal over the WAMPStack you have to download the “module” not the “stack”. The module only asks you the password (the same that the mysql WAMPStack password).

You are trying to install the Drupal Stack which contains our MySQL and our Apache. As you have the Apache default port (80) busy you need to specify another port. The same happens with MySQL database.

I hope it helps!

thanks for quick reply

I downloaded the ‘Module’ now and it was installing fine until I was prompted with this -

Warning
problem running post-install step.Installation may not
complete correctly
Unknow error while running / php-c””
“C:\PROGRA 1\BITNAM-1\apps\drupal\scripts\createdb.php”
HTTP 404 PAGE NOT FOUND

link – http://localhost/drupal
Can you help with this???

Finally the reason I am using wampstack and drupal

Regards the wampstack ( totally new to this ) – just a few questions

1 – Does this mysql link to php directly? If so how do I do it.
2 – Can I create a webpage, e.g log in that will fill info to my mysql database?
The reason I ask is that is what im aiming for.

Hi,

It is probably that you have an old version of WAMPStack. It is necesary to install the module over the BitNami WAMPStack 1.0-beta-3.

About your questions maybe I do not understand well. The wampstack configures PHP and MySQL and you only have to use in your application. You can create a web page which uses MySQL requests to login.
