Title: WAMP on USB
Post by: Luckyluke on August 05, 2008, 11:52:48 AM

Hoi,

Is it possible to install a WAMP server on a USB stick?
I didn't find it on the site of WAMP (http://www.wampserver.com/en/). A search on the WAMP-forum gives no results...

Grtz,
Luc

I'm (sometimes) using USB Webserver 7.0. (use Google)
It works ok. Runs completely from the USB stick.

Hi,

Thats what I use now. But I asked myself whether the wampserver works better with WB3 Alpha.
So I wanted to try another package.

Definitly yes!

Works great - I´m not sure , but I think to remember that all versions work portable - just don´t install it. It is explained in the readme - You´ll find it.

I use it on USB-Stick aswell as USB-HD. NO probs.

regards Vyni

But look for Xampp !!!

USB Webserver also uses Apache - MySQL - PHP, just as WAMP (Windows - Apache - MySQL - PHP). So i dont think you will see any mutch difference, if you see something it has to be the php.ini witch has other values.

I'll give it a try. WB3 works on this configuration (see post from doc here (https://forum.WebsiteBaker.org/index.php/topic,3169.msg62968.html#msg62968)).

if you are using wamp, try to edit the httpd.conf (click on wamp icon on the taskbar, go to apache and httpd.conf) search for mod_rewrite en remove the # in front of it by the modules. So it will look like this:

Code: [Select]

LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
Restart apache and then it should work (if you imported the database good and all)

I have WB3 alpha running with a standard wamp installation but only modified the httpd conf for the mod_rewrite.

Good luck!
