Browser MMO Video #1

Hi Everyone!

I was having some problems getting WAMP up and running, and I saw some people with similar problems, so I thought I'd share what got it working.
I had a circle that wouldn't go all the way white (was 2/3 yellow) and gave some weird menu error when trying to "put it online".
It seems this same problem manifests itself in various ways when trying to access localhost through your browse, mine happened to ask for a password that i didn't seem to have. I've heard of various others, like 404 errors etc.

If anyone is running any other local server (I have visual studio for .NET programming installed as well) then it is probably already using port 80, which is what wamp is trying to use.

So you have to go into your apache folder and open httpd.conf

C:\wamp\bin\apache\Apache2.2.11\conf\httpd.conf

and replace 'Listen 80' with 'Listen 82'

also replace 'ServerName localhost:80' with 'ServerName localhost:82'

THEN

go to C:\wamp and replace all occurrences of 'http://localhost' with 'http://localhost:82' in both wampmanager.ini and wampmanager.tpl.

Now wamp runs on port 82, you have no conflict, good to go.

Another problem I hit that may affect some people. Same symptom as listed above (icon stays yellow).

I had previously installed XAMMP on my computer a couple years back, and uninstalled it (I thought). When I put WAMP on, Apache had trouble running. Uninstalled XAMMP and it worked then

I've been searching on net for a couple year for a useful tutorial about making MMORPG's, but i never found a good one. Somewhere they explain the structure, but no examples. Somewhere there is examples but nothing about how can i try them.

Finally i found a perfect tutorial! Your clear language is making easier to understand (my English isn't perfect, but i can easily understand you without subtitles ), you explain really deeply, for all options and possible errors.

I'm really grateful to you, hallsofvallhalla!

Hi, when I came at the point where you was starting the code and viewed it and etcetera. I did the same and I can't see "This is a test, Hello World"..

I did everything correct so this shall not be a problem. I'm using Notepad++ with the language PHP if it matters. But I don't see anything..


And.. where's the second video?

Did you go through the very first video that describes setting up WAMP and how to test videos? I can't remember if that is the same video that has the "This is a test" page. Can you click the WAMP icon in your desk tray and open PHPMyAdmin? If WAMP is set up correctly you should be able to open it, since PHPMyAdmin is actually a PHP application being served from WAMP itself.

I'm not using WAMP because I already have a webserver.

Can you post your "This is a test" page code?
