I've downloaded WampServer twice. The specifications for my WampServer are: "Apache/2.4.17 (Win64) PHP/5.6.16 - Port defined for Apache: 80" and for MySql: "5.7.9 - Port defined for MySQL: 3306". The first time, it worked for sometime (2 weeks) and then it started to complain about:
*** ERROR *** The PHP configuration loaded file is: - should be: C:/wamp64/bin/apache/apache2.4.17/bin/php.ini or c:/wamp64/bin/php/php5.6.16/phpforapache.ini".
When I tried to try to move php.ini files to the right locations there was many of them ("for production ,"for development", "phpforapache" and one that just said it was an ini file). Since I was getting the error that no mbstring extension was found, I went ahead and made sure i un-commented ;extension=php_mbstring.dll from all those ini files. Guess what, nothing worked.
So I decided to uninstall WampServer and downloaded it again. It worked. But after I shut my computer down, it gave the same exact problems as before.
I've been looking online to see how I can fix this problem. There are many solutions but none of them seem to work. There's one where there must not be Internet Information Services on, one where I have to set the system environment variable value to the path of my php ini file, one where I must make sure no other service or program is using port 80. I have made sure that port 80 isn't accessed by other programs already.Then, other solutions mentioned that i should change 127.0.0.1 on my httpd.conf file to "all". Finally, there's another problem that says Skype should not be turned on. I do have Skype for business, but is not turned on. I've tried to delete it and uninstall many times, but somehow is not going away. However, WampServer has worked for me in the past.
More strange things: The only way that WampServer will turn green is if I double tap on the desktop icon. Then, it asks me if I will allowed it to make changes to my hard drive. I've tried stopping services and restarting them, but it wont start this way. Also, when I typed localhost it takes me to the WampServer homepage, but if I try to access "phpMyAdmin" it gives me that the extension to "mbstring" is not found. Here is probably the strangest of all: When I click on my task manager and check for services running on my computer, it says that "wampmysql64" and "wampapache64" are both running, while the the icon for WampServer is red. Also, if i test the files under the www folder: one of them is called "testmysql.php" it gives me this error: Fatal error: Class 'mysqli' not found in C:\wamp64\www\testmysql.php on line 7. The other file "test_sockets.php" gives the server error: Extension PHP sockets not loaded.
I don't know why this product is out there if it will do as it pleases: move files, change ports and all these extensive checks that must be made in order to make sure it works. Am seriously looking for an alternative. Sad, cause the graphical interface seems so easy to understand and navigate through.
Please can someone give me a hand. I am seriously thinking about uninstalling WampServer, loading it again and giving it another go. But, i know all those problems will come back.
I ran into the same problems as you did, and I got the answer by checking on their forums. To begin with, exit Wampserver. According to this page*, you should take the following steps:
Open a command prompt window, and run as administratorC:\Windows\system32>
Move to the apache directory C:\Windows\system32>cd C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.17\binC:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.17\bin>
Create a symbolic link linking the php.ini to phpForApache.ini in the PHP directory
C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.17\bin>mklink php.ini C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.6.15\phpForApache.ini
You should get a response that sayssymbolic link created for php.ini <<===>> C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.6.15\phpForApache.ini
For Wampserver to run correctly, it has to be run as administrator. So locate the desktop and start menu shortcuts for Wampserver and right-click. Then select Properties > Shortcut > Advanced and check Run as administrator
After applying changes, you can start up Wampserver again and it will run normally.
*The page is in French, so you may need to run it through Google Translate
I resolved that issue: I just renamed the file phpForapache.ini in the php directory to php.ini, then I copied this php.ini to apache directory; finally all the troubles is resolved.
I hope this helps you.
Thanks for the answer #tizak. What I did is I uninstall wampserver and downloaded the previous version for my 64 bit machine. It hasn't given me any problems.

I've had this issue twice now, just randomly happened.
When I try to view the Ammps 'Home' Dashboard I get the following error:-
The file /Applications/AMPPS/ampps/softaculous/includes/enduser.php is
corrupted.
I had to re-install to fix this last time but since then (a few days ago) this has happened again?
Anybody know why this is happening and how to fix it?
I am using Version: 3.8
Update
I've done another clean install (backed up www and all the databases beforehand). I noticed there isn't even the directory /Applications/AMPPS/ampps/softaculous/includes/.
Seems to be another effected file as well:
/Applications/AMPPS/ampps/softaculous/includes/main/functions.php is
corrupted.
Upon opening these files, it appears a massively long string of characters as been added after the closing PHP tag. Deleting this string had no effect, the same errors persist.
Anyway, I've uploaded the files of Ampps for Mac which you can download here:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/18nA-ldR5BamLLqnEU0nC4Gx-PmzWSwt0/view?usp=sharing
Going to see if I can get it back working once I merge the files together (except the www folder)
Update 2:
You can now download Ampps 3.9 from their official website:
https://ampps.com/download
1.+ don't forget to save database (/var) and domains information (/ampps/data/domains) before replacing files
Doing a clean install of Ampps 3.8 will rectify the problem which is what I had to do. Frustratingly, some people including myself have experienced the issue coming back after a few days. Until there is a permanent fix for this either by an update/patch from Softaculous, a way to rectify this without having to reinstall Ampps is by doing the following:-
Take a backup of your /Applications/AMPPS/www directory
Download the Mac files from a clean installation here;
https://drive.google.com/file/d/18nA-ldR5BamLLqnEU0nC4Gx-PmzWSwt0/view?usp=sharing
Replace the existing Ampps directory with the files from the
download link
Move your /www/ folder back to the same location
You should then be able to access the Home dashboard and everything should work as normal.
As Nika mentioned, don't forget to save database (/var) and domains information (/ampps/data/domains) before replacing files (/www)
Edit 1:
Seems my version of Ampps 3.8 got updated to 3.9, I've not had any issues since this has happened.
Please create a backup first!
Shutdown AMPPS. I have fixed mine locally by replacing the enduser.php with the one from here https://files.ampps.com/5.3.2.zip.
Then after that I have replaced all the IonCube loaders with the ones you can download from here: https://www.ioncube.com/loaders.php. Source and how-to: https://www.softaculous.com/board/index.php?tid=13497&title=Ioncube_Loader_Error
Start AMPPS.
To check if you need to replace another corrupt file check error_log in your logs folder.
I have designed a GUI that I want to run as soon as I turn on my Raspberry Pi. It is currently set up to automatically log in as user on startup, but if that makes the process more difficult I can change that. My Raspi runs on Raspbian 10 (buster), which has made things difficult since I can only find tutorials for Raspbian 8 or so.
I have tried modifying autostart folder, but it is not in the same location as it was in previous Raspbian versions and doesn't seem to be working the way it used to. Tutorials have said to create a .desktop file in /home/pi/.config/autostart but I don't have a .config folder, or at least it's hidden. For me, autostart is in /etc/xdg/autostart and when I try to create a new file here using nano in the terminal, I get the message [Directory '/etc/xdg/autostart' is not writable] and it doesn't save my file.
I have also tried calling my script in /etc/rc.local but it did nothing. Some have said it doesn't work for GUIs.
Here's what I type into terminal:
$ nano /etc/xdg/autostart/gui.desktop
and a new file pops up, but at the bottom I get the warning [Directory '/etc/xdg/autostart' is not writable]
How can I get my GUI script to run on startup with Raspbian 10 (buster)?
There are a number of issues here, first when you are looking at tutorials recognize that Linux distros are built in layers, for simplicity let's say your "layer stack" looks like this: kernel, systemd, x11, xdg, lxde. The kernel boots, then starts systemd, which then starts x11 (and a lot of other stuff), x11 starts xdg (and some other stuff, I think), lxde is started by either x11 or xdg I'm not sure which.
You want to add something to this process, you can do it at the kernel level (bad idea), at they systemd level (probably not right unless its a daemon), at the x11 level (still probably bad as you still don't have a user session yet), or at the xdg or lxde level.
xdg is probably the right place as it has all you need ( a gui, a user session) while being common (xdg will still work if you switch window managers, probably)
With that out of the way, why isn't your solution of modifying xdg working? It's because '/etc/xdg/autostart' is a system configuration directory. Any changes made to it will apply to all users. You may want this, but the system is trying to protect other users on your system and only allows root to make changes to everyone. If you want to do that use "sudo" (documented elsewhere on stack exchange and the internet). If you want to do it just for you use ~/.config/autostart, (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/XDG_Autostart) you might need to create that directory with "mkdir ~/.config/" and then "emacs ~/.config/autostart"
Would it be better to have the python program run in a terminal window from startup? That way you would see what it is doing in case of errors.
If so, perhaps check this out https://stackoverflow.com/a/61730679/7575617
By the way, in the file manager, hit CTRL+H to toggle viewing hidden files and folders.
I cant enable APACHE modules on WAMP-Server.
After i click the module name (which is not-checked), then server restarts, but when i go to modules, then module is not still enabled.
I even manually opened httpd.conf and enabled module, restarted server, but module is not still enabled!
Has anyone faced similar problem ? what's solution?
A couple of tips.
WAMPServer must be installed as an Administrator so when you launch the install right click the .exe and select "Run as Administrator"
WAMPServer must also be Run As Administrator
When you attempt to include or exclude a new Apache or PHP extension, WAMPserver will attempt to restart Apache so the changes takes effect. If the changes do not show up, it may just be that the menu just skipped a beat, then try a refresh by doing
right click wampmanager -> refresh
If you install WAMPServer using the "Run as Administrator" but attempt to run WAMPServer without using the "Run As Administrator" it will not have the rights to amend some of its own files. This can cause problems like this one, and many others.
solution seemed to EXIT WampServer, then modify httpd.conf manually, and starting Wamp again.
I has this same issue (drove me crazy for a while!), and in my case I had to increase the memory_limit setting in php.ini (make sure it's the right one - open from Wampmanager - it's actually in the apache folder). I set it to 512M and it worked on 2 of the 3 servers I was having issues with.
For the other one I has to add this line:
ini_set('memory_limit', '-1');
to the top of file:
[drive]/[wamprootfolder]/scripts/refresh.php
And then run the Refresh from Wampmanager (right-click the icon). DON'T FORGET TO COMMENT IT OUT/REMOVE THE LINE ONCE IT COMPLETES. This disables the limit which can cause issues if it loads a script with a memory leak, etc.
The problem is that the refresh.php script is supposed to automatically update the wampmanager.ini file (found in [wamprootfolder]) after each change, or when you run it from Wampmanager itself. With the memory setting too low, it caused the function to exit without changing the .ini file, which is why you keep seeing the same settings, version # (after an update), etc.
To test, you can load the default wamp homepage in a browser to confirm version, and then click on phpinfo() to verify what modules, etc. are actually loading. OR just look at the modified date of your wampmanager.ini file!
Once it's working right, your wampmanager.ini should update itself when you run the Refresh (or make a change).
I get the following error(see. figure) in my Xampp and can not access mySQL through XAMPP and phpMyAdmin. In this link-1 and link-2 possible solution is given; but none of them woks in Mac OS 10.9
I assume the problem is with configuration file my.cnf which is located in the /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/etc/my.cnf.
Any suggestion will be appreciate. Thanks.
Completely stop XAMPP, this means stop apache, ftp and mysql.
Open the program called Terminal.
Type in sudo -i to become root (or do su root if the first doesn’t work for you).
You are most probably asked for a password which you have to enter while no characters are displayed.
Execute chmod 600 /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/etc/my.cnf .
Exit your root shell with exit or just close Terminal.
Restart XAMPP (apache, ftp and mysql).
From: http://slopjong.de/2009/08/31/houston-i-cant-write-to-file/
Solution
Reinstall Xampp. Before reinstalling delete all the files, take away your htdoc and database folder to other place of your hdd.
The database location in Mac OS-10.9 is
cd '/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/var/mysql/'
Htdoc location
cd '/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/'
When you complete reinstallation put all the folders to corresponding location and your database will be automatically update.
I looked some other solution but none of them seems work. I was scare if I remove the database to other location and import later will it work or not. And luckily it works, but as precaution careful when you remove big database.
its been more than 2 weeks. i try to instal but still getting error.
firstly, indeed I have searched similar error but i didn't find solution at all. if you find it. please let me know.
second, this is my state :
1. i have installed python 2.7 and django 1.5.1 (it works).
2. i also install MAMP.
3. i try to configure mod_wsgi and want it integrated with my MAMP apache server.
4. using mac mountain lion 10.8.4
my configuration file :
/etc/apache2/original/extra/httpd-userdir.conf inside my apache2/original/extra/
/etc/apache2/users/akhyar.conf pastebin.com/zcY58WTV (sorry about this Iam new on stack overflow)
/etc/apache2/httpd.conf pastebin.com/je2D8zMz
third, this is my error :
when i run apachectl configtest this error appears my error
so, what is going on actually? can someone tell me why and show me the mistakes?
if its been solved, what is the next step for configuring mod_wsgi on my MAMP?
thanks before, any help are highly appreciated.
In this file, line 15, you're including the per-user conf files:
http://pastebin.com/7y7ibuqP
On line 473 of this one, one of those per-user conf files, you're including the above file again:
http://pastebin.com/zcY58WTV
This causes infinite recursion while trying to parse the conf files.
I think there are some other errors too, and to be honest the files are pretty messy, but the best way forward is to remove all Include directives from akhyar.conf. For the most part they're already duplicates, where they're not, inline the contents of those files instead of using Include. If there are other errors, you'll at least see useful line numbers to start tracking them down.
Also note that the [warn] lines are just warnings - which you should probably fix, but the server will still run without them, that's not what's causing the error.
