Wampserver red or orange icon issues? - mysql

I've installed wampserver 2.5 on my PC (windows 10) and i am facing red/orange icon issues but when i hover my cursor it shows wamp is running. Please help me to solve this issue.

If the issue persist, you can open the file of "httpd.conf" and confirm the format. Sometimes during the install process occurs this kind of issues. But is possible solve the issue with the next modifications.
Remember in my case im using the port "8383" isntead "80"
1.- Open the file "httpd.conf" and copy all the text.
2.- Open a note++ and paste the text. (The reason of this action is just to have the correct format. )
3.- Check the line 61 you have only the next text "#Listen 12.34.56.78:8383"
4.- Line 62 with the next text "Listen 0.0.0.0:8383"
5.- Finally the line 63 with the text "Listen [::0]:8383" (in the link you will see the expected result)
6.- Copy and paste the text into "httpd.conf"
7.- Save the changes
8.- Restart the services
you will have something like that
After restart the services, you will see all the services Working fine and the Wamp server as "Online" status.
Please let me know if this work for you. I saw this incident on a Windows 10 and didnt happened before with a Windows 7 or less.

Step 1:
Resolving Port 80 Issue
Left click on wampserver icon then Apache>>Service>>Test Port 80.(This will show you which program in your system using port 80).
If port 80 used by "Microsoft IIS" then simply run "Command Prompt" as Admin and type this command net stop was /y.
If port 80 used by Skype then go to Tools>>Options>>Advanced>>Connections and "Uncheck" the box "use port 80 and 443 as alternative"
Step 2: Check Port 80 Availability
Restart all services by left clicking on wampserver icon and select Restart All Services
Problem is still there???
Check the Apache service started or not by clicking Apache>>Service. If the service has started then you it means Apache is using port 80.
Check MySql service by left clicking on wampserver icon and then go to MySql>>Service. If service isn't started then open my.ini file. For this left click on wampserver icon and then go to MySql and click on my.ini and it will open with notepad.
Press Ctrl+F and type 3306 and replace them all founded items with 3307.
Restart all services by left clicking on wampserver icon and select Restart All Services
Hurryyyy....That it....
Enjoy with Wampserver

MySQL never asked for a password

I am watching a YouTube tutorial on MySQL/SQL, and the installer in the video was much different than mine. It asked the instructor to make a password, but for me it did not. Now, whenever I try to open MySQL 8.0 Command Line Client, it crashes immediately upon opening. How do I enter a password, and stop the application from crashing?
I used the Windows x86, 32 bit, MSI installer, and it closes when I try to open it. It is there for a quarter of a second, then it just closes, no error messages, nothing. I am going to the windows button, then clicking the icon that says "MySQL 8.0 Command Line Client".
First of all, if you have installed it properly, there should be MYSQL80 entry in services.
Search for services, then find MYSQL80(if you haven't changed the service name while installing mysql).
Make sure it is running. (Right click and start the service if not.)
Then, run cmd as administrator.
Then type "mysql_secure_installation" (without "").
And follow the prompts.
If you haven't setup your password then it should ask to enter new password.
After completion, try to run your command line client again.
I hope I was able to help you.

safari con't connect to localhost Xampp in Mac

I downloaded Xampp in my Mac for first time, the server is working but when I want to go to my application show that safari can not connect to server.
does any one know where is my problem ?
I assume that you have the latest version of XAMPP.
You can reach your application by clicking on the button "Go to Application" or writing your IP address showed in XAMPP followed by "/dashboard/" or your browser (e.g 192.168.64.2/dashboard like the image shows)
general tab xampp
If you have already tried this, the problem might be related to the network configuration in XAMPP.
Create a new rule that forward the LocalPort 80 to the RemotePort 80, and check the "Require Local" checkbox.
After that, enable the rule and test it using "localhost/dashboard/" in your browser.
network tab xampp

Make MySQL accessible remotely, installed on a windows PC

I was wondering if someone could help showing detailed steps (if possible) to make MySQL accessible remotely. Example: PC 1 has MySQL installed (DB server) on it and PC 2 can now ask PC 1 for data using either PHP, Python etc.
First, I would like to give credits to the people who assisted me when doing this. I will outline how I managed to get this to work. This was done on a machine running Windows 10. The steps are outlined below:
Installing MySQL and Location my.ini file
After installing MySQL server and workbench. Windows store my.ini file on a hidden location other than that of the MySQL installation location.
C:\ProgramData\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.7
This location can be view only when you have enabled windows to show hidden files. This is achieved with the following steps:
Navigate to Control Panel
Click on Appearance and Personalization
Under File Explore Options, click on show hidden files and folders
Under the view tab, Advanced settings, look for the option hidden files and folder and select the show hidden files, folders and drives and click ok.
Navigate to C:\ and you should see the ProgramData folder
Copy this file onto MySQL installation folder
Navigate to
C:\ProgramData\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.7
and copy the file to
C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.7
Configure MySQL for remote access
open my.in file using your preferred editor and look for the line and remove the # in front of it to uncomment it:
bind-address=0.0.0.0
if the line is not there then add it manually save and restart MySQL or the machine.
Activating Telnet
The computer must have the telnet activity-activated, to achieve this the do the following steps:
Navigate to Control Panel -> Programs -> Programs and Features and under this section click on Turn Windows features on or off
Look for Telnet Client and check it
Click Ok, and done now telnet is active.
On the MySQL, workbench creates a new SQL connection and use the IP address you used on my.in file and you should be set to go.
Now test this by writing a simple PHP or Python script to connect to your MySQL server.

problems running xamp

I am using a open source document repositary kordil edbms which works fine in my windows 7 machine .
But when i installed it in windows small business server, xamp is not running. when i start task manager httpd itself is not getting shown. I went to xamp control panel and it says error running mysql busy.I have share point in that machine which also has localhost 80.
So I changed the apache port.
I changed the apache port in httpd.conf file in 2 places
listen
server name
It seems i need to change the port for mysql also. Now what is the option to change the port for xamp mysql or am i going wrong some where else. Please also look at the screenshot of xamp control panel.
Quit Skype and then restart all services from your XAMPP and let me know if its work or not.
Port conflict as Skype also consumes 80 by default
Click on SCM and manage services by starting and stopping.
EDIT
check this link for both to work with - http://www.binodranabhat.com.np/blog/using-xampp-and-iis-together/
MYSQL not working because xampp which path excepting that path not getting automatically .
that is reason behind xampp mysql not start
go to window +R press then open cmd with run as administration then type this command
sc delete mysql
then after start mysql problem resolved.
Fixing Apache Port Conflicts
Another error message that is pretty common to see when working with XAMPP is a notification in the XAMPP control panel that the ports Apache needs to use, ports 443 and 80, are already being used by another application.
A message from the XAMPP control panel letting us know Skype is using ports 443 and 80
In the case of the error message in the image above, this is a pretty easy fix. The offending application is Skype. If you see the same message, close Skype completely and restart XAMPP to solve the problem. Skype is a frequent-flier on the port-blocking scene and pretty easy to identify and remediate. Unfortunately, things aren’t always so simple.

localhost and phpmyadmin load blank pages

I just installed WAMP server 2.0i on my laptop which has XP SP3 newly installed a couple of days ago.
However, when I try to access phpmyadmin or load the localhost page all I get is a blank page in both cases. The MySQL console works fine.
WAMP used to work fine on my previous XP installation, though I am sure the OS doesnt have much to do with WAMP..
Any pointers to get it working back again ?
Be carefull, Skype is listening on port 80. It displays a blank screen to localhost.
Go to skype option menu and disable this option.
File -> Options -> Connection -> Uncheck "Use port 80 as an alternative for..."
