Tool(s) required: , KearTS CMS (optional)
My other tutorials:
http://forum.ragezone.com/f428/guide-hex-edit-your-client-379958/
http://forum.ragezone.com/f428/guide-all-no-low-sql-knowledge-people-380729/
http://forum.ragezone.com/f428/guide-navicat-8-mysql-faqs-385036/

Download and install it, run WampServer.exe and put it online. Read my other tutorial on how to put it online at http://forum.ragezone.com/f428/guide-all-no-low-sql-knowledge-people-380729/

At this point you should your WampServer is put online and is running, the icon should looks like this.

Some of the things you should know,
  • WampServer comes with MySQL and phpMyAdmin
  • Your default port for web is 80
  • Short open tag is disabled at default
  • URL rewrite module is disabled by default
  • The folder you should use for your web is X:/Wamp/www

Enable short open tag
Left click on the Wamp icon, move your mouse over to PHP > PHP settings > short open tag

Mine with a tick because I already enabled it, after you click it, it will automatically restart apache.

Change your default port 80
Left click on the Wamp icon, move your mouse to Apache and click httpd.conf

httpd.conf will open, search (Ctrl+F) for
Listen 80
Replace 80 wit hthe port you want, for this tutorial I will be using port 8080
so I will change it to
Listen 8080

Now close and save the file, restart all your services.

If you want to view your page, it will be [/B]:8080/

Set up your page
By default when you install WampServer, they will install a homepage. We're not going need it so let's go to X:/Wamp/www
remove everything inside it, so now your www folder is empty. That's right.

I will use my own script for this example, download and extract KearTS CMS, you will see a folder (example: KearTS CMS v2.1), copy everything inside and past it to your www folder.
This is what your www folder should looks like for now,


Open up config.php and change the settings over there, and you're done.
To view your page you can go to

if you're using port 80,

Re: [Guide] Setup your Web server

Yes, that's what I'm asking.
When you register your account, what error it show?

By the way, what's your link?
I would like to test it out myself.

@Gamble:
But you understand English right? Just follows what I say, or get someone older in your family to do it.

@Link3737:
config.php, it's a php file.
You can use any php editor, or simply just open it with notepad or wordpad.

Re: [Guide] Setup your Web server

It doesnt work for me. Do I have to port foward? And how do I know if my port is blocked?

Re: [Guide] Setup your Web server

Make sure your port 80 is open, call up your ISP and ask about it.
There's online port scanning, try search for it.

Re: [Guide] Setup your Web server

And btw, it takes 5 minutes for the NO-IP to recognize the host that you just made. Just a note for the impatient people for the world.
