Hello, everyone. It continues to baffle me at why WAMP has such a difficult time with a website I'm building. I mean, most of the pages won't even LOAD and god knows why.

But here's what I do know. I started this project on a Linux machine and since had to move to a Windows box. The website was working at-speed and with perfection with my LAMP installation (standard out-of-the-box Apache 2.2, MySQL 5.4 (or something), and PHP 5.2 on an Ubuntu Jaunty (9.04) OS) but now that I moved the project onto a machine with Vista and installed Wampserver 2.0i (the latest version), I'm having nothing but complications.

Is it me, or is it Vista?

Or maybe I need to do a manual install of Apache, MySQL, and PHP?

Dude, cygwin, vmware, hardware aquisition, anything to keep your LAMP server! If it works, don't mess with it.

Do all of the individual components work in isolation? Can you write a basic PHP application that queries the MySQL server, and returns a set of results if run from the CLI? Does Apache serve static pages? Can Apache run a page with basic PHP on it? What about a page with basic PHP that does a basic MySQL query?

If you check the build flags for each of your components, it should tell you if all 3 components were built with the right flags to interact with each other. Personally, I would much rather build each component from source, that way I know that it's been done right, or I know exactly who to blame when it goes screwy.

XD Good point. I'll soon be dual-booting Ubuntu and Vista by Christmas, but I have to get the pathway set first.
