Setting up WAMP for Dreamweaver, Windows Apache Mysql PHP

In this tutorial, we will cover how to get a test server set up on your windows XP machine.

I am also adding the paths and code you need to add to each file.

Note there are 2 errors in this video.

1. I wrote temp instead of test for the folder name
2. The line of code for the document root was set to test folder instead of actual root

-----

First, go to c:/wamp/root

and create a folder called test

Hosts file path:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

httpd.conf file path:
C:\wamp\bin\apache\Apache2.2.11\conf\httpd.conf

--

In the hosts file add this line:

127.0.0.1 yourdomain.yourextension #example test.dev

In the httpd.conf file:

enable virtual hosts, uncomment this line by removing the pound sign from this line:
LoadModule vhost_alias_module modules/mod_vhost_alias.so
