1. How do I create a database, the MySQL service keeps
shutting down?
2. How do I make my IP address reachable from the
outside world?
3. I know this is for development more than production
but that subject only affects security, that is fine, I will
just set up a firewall on my C:\Web\ folder, my C:\wamp
folder is called C:\Web, does this affect it?
4. Will I be able to host my own PHPBB 3 forum on my
IP address for free and will it be supported (needs the
MySQL database set up)?
5. Will I be able to run a FTP (this doesn't really matter,
I will just use my file system)?
Please enter your answers in numbered format so I
understand please and then add additional information
between each numeration.
WAMP 5 is not not working: http://wampserver.com/en/?
Well, one of the first things that you should do is make sure that your ftp/http servers aren't being blocked by a firewall on your computer. If you have Zone Alarm or something like that, make sure that WAMP is added as a trusted app, or ports 80 and 21 & 20 are not blocked for inbound access. If you don't have any firewall installed. Make sure that the Windows Firewall isn't blocking these ports.
Second thing, is uninstall all previous installations of mySQL/Apache and/or WAMP (also delete the dir in which it was previously installed as sometimes the uninstall wizard does not delete some files in the dir automatically) and re-install WAMP, give it a fresh start. and see if it is working.
