Hi All,

Recently i have installed WAMP server to my PC.

I have started and find its running correctly, when a i hit the index page which is a default page given in the sample directory.

It works, when i create a simple PHP file

When i execute, i couldn't get the result.

Can someone help me?

WAMP5's php.ini file is located in the apache directory. When you launch php in command line, it will searh to the php.ini file in the windows or the php directory. If you have other installs or previous installs of PHP on your server, you might have a php.ini dile in your windows directory. This file is used by WAMP5's php in cli, that's what creates these error messages (the extension directory is not the good one). To solve this, jsut copy the php.ini file which is located in your apache directory, to your php directory so that this file is used by PHP.

Steps to follow and verify this to your current installation. This is manual installation

1. Download Apache2.0, PHP 5.0 (zip file not installer) and MySql 5.0
2. Install Apache
3. put the folder php in c:/php
4. copy php.ini (It is like php.ini_recommended) to c:/WINDOWS/ change the settings as per request
5.copy php5ts.dll into c:/WINDOWS/system32/

we have to change in Apche Groups/Apache/httd/conf with the following

Installing as a CGI binary

You need to insert these three lines to your Apache httpd.conf configuration file to set up the CGI binary:

ScriptAlias /php/ "c:/php/"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

# For PHP 4
Action application/x-httpd-php "/php/php.exe"

# For PHP 5
Action application/x-httpd-php "/php/php-cgi.exe"

Installing as an Apache module

You need to insert these two lines to your Apache httpd.conf configuration file to set up the PHP module for Apache 2.0:

# For PHP 4 do something like this:
LoadModule php4_module "c:/php/php4apache2.dll"
# Don't forget to copy the php4apache2.dll file from the sapi directory!
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

# For PHP 5 do something like this:
LoadModule php5_module "c:/php/php5apache2.dll"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

# configure the path to php.ini
PHPIniDir "C:/php"

????: Remember to substitute your actual path to PHP for the c:/php/ in the above examples. Take care to use either php4apache2.dll or php5apache2.dll in your LoadModule directive and not php4apache.dll or php5apache.dll as the latter ones are designed to run with Apache 1.3.x.

????: If you want to use content negotiation, read related FAQ.

Install Mysql 5.0

check the mysql on the command line
copy php_mysql.dll from c:/php/ext/ to c:/WINDOWS/system32/


It will work fine I hope

If “Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client
“ error comes

Then do the following

1. Just change MySQL's password hashing algorithm for your password. So, how how u do that?

mysql> UPDATE mysql.user SET Password = OLD_PASSWORD('newpwd') WHERE Host = 'some_host' AND User = 'some_user';
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;


2. if 1 is not working

MySQL 4.1 and up uses an authentication protocol based on a password hashing algorithm that is incompatible with that used by older clients.



To solve this problem, you should use one of the following approaches:

1. Upgrade all client programs to use a 4.1.1 or newer client library.
2. When connecting to the server with a pre-4.1 client program, use an account that still has a pre-4.1-style password.
3. Reset the password to pre-4.1 style for each user that needs to use a pre-4.1 client program.
4. Tell the server to use the older password hashing algorithm
Start mysqld with the --old-passwords option
Assign an old-format password to each account that has had its password updated to the 4.1 format.
