WAMP Server, Vista & Virtual hosts

Filed under: Issues, What Not... — Dave at 1:50 pm on Monday, January 5, 2009

Been setting up a WAMP server on the new Vista laptop for the past couple days and haven’t gotten it quite right yet. My previous laptop had XP and seperate installs of Apache 2.(something) MySql 5 and PHP 5. It took a bit of time to get the system to my liking, but once I found out that I could do virutal hosts on a laptop I was loving it.

Originally the MSI install package from the Apache website would not install no matter what I did. Even tried the MSIEXEC fix I stumbled on and that didn’t work. Google searched and it seemed like everyone was having the same problem but nobody had a good solution. I kept seeing “try WAMP SERVER”. I’d seen XAMMP before and wasn’t all that impressed with it, but hey I need Apache, PHP & MySql on my machine to do my job… so why not. Downloaded it and it installed nicely the first time without out errors or roll back.

The only problem I then ran into is that Virtual Hosts weren’t working at all. Any time I’d ad something like


ServerName spider
DocumentRoot “C:/web/www.rss-spider.com/html”

I’d get an error.
