TIPS

How can I manage WAMP?

You should see a WAMP icon ( ) in your task

tray — the area on Windows that contains your

system’s clock. You can click this to start and stop

any of the services, as well as access configuration

files to modify or further control Apache, PHP,

or MySQL.

Where can I get additional details on using any

of the components in WAMP?

The WAMP Web site at http://www.wampserver.com/en

has a forum where you can ask questions of other

others. In addition, the Apache Web site at http://www.

apache.org, the PHP site at http://www.php.net, and the

MySQL site at http://www.mysql.com all have extensive

documentation and forums.

Test the Installation

1 Open a Web browser.

2 Type http://localhost.

● The WampServer page appears,

indicating that the server has

installed successfully.

The Completing Setup Wizard
screen appears.

Click Finish.
