Hi
I’ve installed WAMPStack fine (XP SP3). However, I installed it on an external Sata drive which I sometimes switch off.

If it is switched off at boot time, I can’t get access to WAMPStack (no test page/localhost access) if I subsequently switch it back on (unless I then re-boot with it switched on). I can see the drive OK. It states in the manual to use the Bitnami WampStack Service shortcut in the Start Menu but I don’t seem to have this (have Launch & website but not Service).

I’ve tried running servicerun.bat (from Run…) but nothing seems to happen (still no access). What do I need to do?

Thanks
Keith

Think there’s a bit more to this than meets the eye.

I’ve tried launching Bitnami Wampstack from the menu shortcut. This runs http://KEITHHOME/ which it the name of the local PC on which Bitnami is installed. However i get an error from Firefox ‘Unable to connect. Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at keithhome.’

What is happening?

Any help gratefuly received!

Regards
Keith

Hi,

Could you go to the Windows service panel and check if the servers are running: wampApache and wampMySQL? Could you start them? Could you check that the drive name has not changed?
