[Previous Tutorial]
DON’T WORRY!
WE WILL BE VICTORIOUS!!
Or not… ahahah
Ok stop joking!
Let’s start from the beginning… it is more useful!
Go to http:www.wampserver.com/en/ … yes, the main website is French!!
What? Yes, je suis un Canard francais!
To get WampServer, click download and select your good architecture of your processor… easy!!
I will make it simple, click here!
You arrive on THE SourceForge website and you wait to the countdown go to 0…
And sing HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Nop, sorry….
We are just downloading WampServer.
Because sometimes it doesn’t work:
Go https://sourceforge.net/projects/wampserver/files/
Click on the big green button to download to install the 64 bits version!
OR, if you want to install the 32 bits version, click on the folder WampServer 3 to find a file ending by x86.
Download it!
Now you have it!
Now, STOP!
Wait for it!
We need to install some libraries… Wha? what?
Apache need some components on Windows because it is not from a Windows OS… it is from Unix!
What a style!
From Microsoft! No virus guaranteed!
Go https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30679
Click on the big red… button!
Hmmm…. I surrounded it… in case you missed it…
Choose your processor version… and download the packages!
Now install them!
Next!
If it ask you to repair the install…. that means it is already installed… so no need!
Do not be a fool!
NO! Not now yet!
We need to check some stuff before installing WampServer!!
Well… from here you will play to a hacker!
Open your command prompt!
Yes, your command prompt!
Open a folder and at the address of your folder enter this:
OR
+
Write “cmd” and press enter!
We need to know what is the file system model of your hard disk, it has to be NTFS!…. Just pray!
Otherwise….. let me know!
Copy/paste:
BOOOM! ALL GOOD!
Then, we need to look for if you have already installed a version of PHP
So you have to type:
And if you have more that 1 hard disk, like me.
You can see it above, repeat with a space between 2
For example, my result is:
As you can see it, I have some result!
I have to remove them!
When you remove the files, don’t do it manually, use the “control panel”>”Programs and Features” and uninstall the software… that will avoid you some difficulties…
In a folder:
Redo the process to get this result:
Do exactly the same operation for my.ini file. It is for the version of MySQL… the database server.
For example:
Even if it is a old WampServer version, before 2.5 do a backup of your work, uninstall it and then install the new version.
Otherwise you could lose data. 
WOUHOU!!
Now we can start the install!
Double click on the WampServer executable file you downloaded!
And let’s go!
Select your language…
Accept…
Next…
Choose your path…
The path don’t have any space or any weird characters… so not in Program Files (x86)!
Letters or numbers only!
Next again…
Install…
Take a coffee…
Come back from your coffee…
And choose your browser…
Just look for your favorite browser and pick the .exe file.
For example, I use usually Firefox Developer version to work…
For Google Chrome you should get it in this folder
Do the same action for the text editor…
And the best text editor is….
Next…
And BOOM it is finished!!
Now… we need a last think to use it…
How to start WampServer?
Go in Start menu > WampServer.
OR go in the folder you just installed WampServer and double click on the exe file!
For the moment, WampServer is set up for local only!
It is green, all good!
Otherwise let me know, I will help you to fix it!
Where can you see your website?
Ahahah, you want to see something?
Ok, left click on the green icon and choose Localhost.
Here we go!!
Localhost or 127.0.0.1 is your local address…
I mean it is the address of the network in your PC, inside your PC, with just one PC, yours!
Open any browser, enter this address and you will see this webpage!
Of course when your Webserver is turned on!!
Localhost is just the name for the address 127.0.0.1… it is exactly the same thing.
Just we speak with letters and PCs speak with numbers…. it is easier for us to remember a name.
That’s it!!
But we will see all this stuff another day!
Now get rest and congratulation!!
It is for you!
I go to do some squat!
I have a mara-water-thon!
Kiss!
WE WILL BE VICTORIOUS!!
And if your lost at the middle of the tutorial, or anywhere.
