= Using WAMP Server in Production =

== Configuring Apache ==
Allow computers on the network to access site.  Edit the ''httpd.conf'' file to change the alias for directories to include the following:
Root folder "/":
<code apache file httpd.conf>
<Directory />
    #######################
    # Development server
    #######################
    #Options FollowSymLinks
    #AllowOverride None
    #Order deny,allow
    #Deny from all
    
    #######################
    # Production server 
    #######################
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
    AllowOverride all
    Order Allow,Deny
    Allow from 192
</Directory>
</code>

''phpmyadmin'' folder:
<code apache file phpmyadmin.conf>
<Directory "c:/wamp/apps/phpmyadmin3.4.10.1/">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
    AllowOverride all
    Order Allow,Deny
    Allow from 192
</Directory>
</code>

== Configure PhpMyAdmin ==

=== Secure root account ===
Secure root account by one of these:
  * Add a password to each ''root'' account (with rights to localhost, 127.0.0.1, and ::1).
  * Create a new user with rights to localhost, 127.0.0.1, and ::1, then deleting the old ''root'' accounts.

=== User and Password ==
Make it simple to connect to PhpMyAdmin.  Edit ''config.inc.php'' file in ''/{WampDirectory}/apps/phpmyadmin{version}/'':
<code php file config.inc.php>
<?php
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user']             = 'root';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password']         = '';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['allowNoPassword']	= true;
</code>

=== Upgrading WampServer ===
  # Backup WAMP folder: ''C:\WAMP''
  # Document passwords and permissions. List users (no password): <code>mysql> SELECT user, host FROM mysql.user; </code> 
  # Document edited files.
    * ''[wamp]/apps/phpmyadminVerNo/config.inc.php'': Username/password, authentication, ports.
    * ''[wamp]/wampmanager.tpl'': References to http://localhost if changed to http://localhost:8080 (3 places).
    * ''[wamp]/bin/apache/apacheVerNo/conf/httpd.conf'': Verify settings with correct port, such as ''Listen 80'' and ''localhost:80''.
    * ''[wamp]/bin/mysql/mysqlVerNo/my.ini'': Verify mysql port 3306 to 3307 (3 places).
    * ''[wamp]/scripts/testport'': Verify port 80 (several places).
    * ''[wamp]/lang/English'': Verify port 80.
    * Document version numbers for Apache, MySQL and PhpMyAdmin, and whether computer is 64/32 bit.
  # Uninstall WAMPSERVER from control panel, to remove all files (except ''www'' and ''bin'' folders).
  # Install correct version of WAMPSERVER.
  # Enable rewrite module in Apache (menu in WAMP: Apache > Modules > Rewrite (checkmark)).
  # Start WAMP.
  # Check access to ''http://localhost''
  # Edit password for PhpMyAdmin in ''config.php.inc''
