Tweaking the WAMP manager configuration


We need to configure the WAMP manager files in order to land on localhost:8080 every time we launch the localhost or phpMyAdmin from the system tray icon.

Generally WAMP is installed in C:\WAMP. Otherwise, please navigate to your WAMP installation folder and make sure the files wampmanager.ini and wampmanager.tpl are present.



In the wampmanager.ini file we will need to replace 3 occurrences of the string "localhost" as "localhost:8080". Please replace the them at places indicated in the illustrations below:



In the wampmanager.tpl file we will need to replace 2 occurrences of the string "localhost" as "localhost:8080". Please replace them at places indicated in the illustrations below:


In Step 4 we will configure phpMyAdmin

You can also navigate to the main page.
