Setup Basic Guide

In this setup guide for WAMP, we will show you the basic steps that most new WAMP users would wonder "How to setup and run a website with WAMP?" As already mentioned in the main page, the information in this guide is nothing special to the experiencers but hope it comes handy for the new WAMP users

Setup

To demonstrate this setup Basic guide for WAMP, we use the names Project1 and Website2. Remember, these are just example names and you should replace them with your desire names. By default, the document root of WAMP is C:/wamp/www and we will create 2 folders project1 and website2 in the document root as follows:

C:/wamp/www/project1

C:/wamp/www/website2

Access

For example, you've already created file index.php in folder project1 and file index.html in folder website2, you will access your websites as follows:

http://localhost/project1

http://localhost/website2

In case you do not like to have the index file or want to access different files, you have to include the filename in the URL; for example, you have file check.php in folder project1 and file test.html in folder website2, you will access them as follows:

http://localhost/project1/check.php

http://localhost/website2/test.html

If you are new to PHP and MySQL and would like to have some simple scripts to test your WAMP server, please check the Codes menu ;-)
