I have been not been using my installation of WampServer on my laptop for several months and as a novice, I need some guidance to fix a few things.
I am currently running the following:
1 - Windows version used (Specify version number AND whether 32 or 64 bit): Windows 11 Pro Version 21H2 64-bit
2 - Version WampServer (Specify version number AND whether 32 or 64 bit): 3.2.3.3 64 bits
3 - Apache Version: Apache 2.4.46 Port 80 - PHP 7.3.21
4 - PHP Version: PHP 5.6.40 for CLI (Command-Line Interface)
5 - MySQL Version: MySQL 5.7.31 Port 3306
5a - MariaDB version if applicable: Not applicable
6 - What color is the WampServer icon (in the notification area of the taskbar): Green
I tried to upgrade WampServer to the current version but couldn't. Given the amount of time that has passed since I last did anything on my local pc, and the fact that the folder containing my virtual host for cincinnatiartclub was deleted at some point causing errors when I start WampServer, I'm trying to decide the best course of action - do a clean install of WampServer or try to recover the missing directory.
I am leaning towards a clean install but need the instructions for getting rid of the current install. I understand that I should not install WampServer over the existing version. I tried to find instructions on the forum but searching didn't get me the information I need. It is probably there and I hate to ask for the information but I just need to know what to do to get everything working correctly. I don't need the cincinnatiartclub files any longer. The site is now live and includes a staging instance on the hosting server.
I looked at my Virtual Hosts and noticed two issues
1. DocumentRoot_error
2. Directory_Path_error
When I select localhost these errors are listed at the bottom of the window:
Your VirtualHost
localhost
cincinnatiartclub
cincinnatiartclub.test
Error(s) See below
The path d:/cincinnatiartclub for DocumentRoot does not exist (File c:/wamp64/bin/apache/apache2.4.46/conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf)
The path d:/cincinnatiartclub/ for <Directory ... does not exist (File c:/wamp64/bin/apache/apache2.4.46/conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf)
This makes perfect sense because I deleted the cincinnatiartclub folder. I clearly did so without considering WampServer.
