After tweaking the save path on the hosted server and creating the folder for sessions to be stored the form is now working perfectly. I hope some folks found this guide useful. My WAMP server sets up the session.savepath to a default directory already created within the virtual server, whereas the hosted servers session.savepath is not by default created. You can change that later easily, but be sure to record it. Note your admin password that comes up after a moment. Strike the install button and it will done in no time. I will use Concrete as the site name, put in my email address, localhost as the server, root as the username, mySQLpassword as the password and concrete as the database name. Type concrete in the Create new database box and click the create button. Click Server: localhost if you are not already at the screen below. In this example, I will create a database called concrete. Like this: =’mySQLpassword’ PHPMyAdmin is Near the bottom of the file, look for =’’ Add your password between the ‘’s. In this example, the file is located in C:\wamp\apps\phpmyadmin3.1.1\. And then click Edit Privileges.Īt the bottom under ‘Change Password’, type your new password in twice and strike the ‘Go’ button. Click Privileges at the top of PHPMyAdmin. PHPMyAdmin warns you that you have not set a SQL password. Move the concrete folder inside the wamp\Launch PHPMyAdmin. Rename the concrete5.2.1 folder to concrete (rename the internal concrete5.2.1 folder if you have a sub concrete5.2.1 folder). If a WampServer page comes up, you’re up and running.Īs of writing this, I am using: Concrete5-5.2.1Įxtract the zip file anywhere. In the systray, click and select Put Online.
