Meetings every second Tuesday
<noob here> i need Help Installing wamp
i am sorry if this a bad spot for this thread - or even the wrong site for it ( i never post threads )
I recently got a Lynda CDROM on the essential php training ) i have plenty of exp on flash/html/c++/pearl and the sorts - no exp on running a real server and that sortof server com stuff. anyways, i installed wamp and then went to http://localhost and got
error '8002801c'
Error accessing the OLE registry.
/iisHelp/common/500-100.asp, line 17
i looked for the file and found it under the help folder in the WINDOWS folder on the c drive - line 17 says
Set objASPError = Server.GetLastError
the only reason why i am asking is because the Lynda tutorial sets up to have it running on my local so we can see the results of our php scripts rather than uploading to a web server and running into other problems so i now there is something going on that is newer than when the tuto was made - soooooo if anyone has any ideas please spill it, cause i really want to learn - also, if anyone has any newer tutorials they can share that would be great
if this isn't a coo spot for this thread - just boot it and i won't worry about it
IIS is running
to me it sounds like IIS (stock Windows web server) is running and listening to port80 (standard http port). When you install WAMP, it installs Apache (open source web server, and what is best to use with PHP).
So now when you go to http://localhost... IIS is intercepting the call before Apache gets a chance.
Solution: Shut down the IIS service. I used to know how to do this but I haven't used Windows in quite a while.
Google
totally remove IIS

If you can make the meeting tonight, there will be folks there with Windows laptops and ca show you first hand how to beat IIS into submission.
Hope this helps,
cheers
