working on port 81(wampserver)

Question

I have recently installed wampserver 2.0 and configured it to work on port 81. Now the problem is that when I click on phpMyAdmin present at the taskbar inside wampserver 2.0 the browser redirects me to

localhost/phpmyadmin instead of localhost:81/phpmyadmin. When I manually type it, everything works fine.

How can I fix this thing? I want the browser to open localhost:81/phpmyadmin page instead of localhost/phpmyadmin when I click on phpMyAdmin.

Answer 1

The configuration is stored in wampmanager.ini, located in the wamp installation directory.

This file is generated from wampmanager.tpl though, so you need to change the following line there:

Type: item; Caption: "${w_phpmyadmin}"; Action: run; FileName: "${c_navigator}"; Parameters: "http://localhost/phpmyadmin/"; Glyph: 5

You can even add your own menu items in there if you like.

You need to restart Wamp after changing this configuration, since wampmanager.ini needs to be re-generated.

Answer 2

If I'm understanding you correctly, the problem is that your link to phpMyAdmin points to the wrong direction. Now I've never used this server, but the wampserver's taskbar is probably some HTML file. Just look for something like <a href="http://localhost/phpMyAdmin/"> and replace the HREF with your path there.

Answer 3

Wherever possible, you should use relative links in your website. I don't know anything about this "wampserver", but the link to phpmyadmin, instead of being <a href="http://localhost/phpmyadmin">, should be <a href="/phpmyadmin">, and that way it will continue to work no matter what port or domain you're running on.

Answer 4

Added :8080 to all 3 http://localhost uses in wampmanager.tpl. Saved changes. Exited wampserver. Started Wampserver. Came up green. Clicked localhost inside wampserver menu. Wampserver page opened in browser.

Thank you Peter Lang for your post. It led me to solution I've struggled with for several days.
