WAMP is a form of mini-server that can run on almost any Windows Operating System.
WAMP includes Apache 2, PHP 5 (SMTP ports are disabled), and MySQL (phpMyAdmin and
SQL item manager are installed to manage your databases) preinstalled.An icon on the taskbar
tray displays the status of WAMP, letting you know if; a) WAMP is running but no services are
opened (the icon will appear red), b) WAMP is running and one service is opened (the icon will
appear yellow) or c) WAMP is running with all services opened (the icon will appear white).
Apache and MySQL are considered to be services (they can be disabled by left-clicking on the
taskbar icon, guiding your cursor over the service you wish to disable and selecting "Stop
Service").
The files/web pages that are hosted on your WAMP server can be accessed by typing
http://localhost/ or http://127.0.0.1/ in the address bar of your web browser. WAMP must be
running in order to access either of the above addresses.
If you would like to share your files/web pages with others, click on the icon located on your
taskbar tray and select "Put Online." You must have access to the Internet in order to continue.
