Fix WAMP Comman Errors

Lot of ppl complained that when the WAMP Server installed it won’t run on the PC and makes some errors and when they try to run the localhost they will get error report as below today im going to discuss the common errors and how to fix those errors and the steps that you can find the error

First after you have installed the WAMP Server if you see the red icon that’s mean you Apache Server is not running (to run the PHP and MySQL plugging you need the Apache http Server run properly) the common problems are

  1. You don’t have proper runtime environment have installed
    1. Compatible C++ redistribute package for your APPACHE and System Version
      • If you using Win XP x86 (32 bit PC architecture) this means you need C++ x86 redistribute package and also if you using new version of WAMP u also need c++ re.pak. 2008 and the 2010 both installed in the PC
      • And if you use win 7 or win vista check your system architecture by right clicking your My computer icon -> select Properties to find system architecture in system information window If it says x64 you need x64 c++ red.pakg
      • And depending on your system download your WAMP version x86 or x64 from the web site
    2. Then if you still have the red icon on the W on WAMP go click on the
      WAMP icon-> Appache -> Services -> test port 80 and you will get black screen telling you is someone using your port 80 or not, if someone(someone means another program lol ) using the port you can’t activate the WAMP you have to shut down the software service
      in this case my port is no one uses’ so I can go to 4th step but if your PC port using some program(u can see the program name in above window if someone does) u have to close it and if it is a Services, you have to go to the System Services and disable its service to be able to start the WAMP services

    3. Disabling service is bit risky but you have to do that if you have tons of developing software running on one PC and you can go to Services, Start -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services you will get the window like below
      And find the program and kick his ass (just disable it :-p) right click on the name of it and select stop (do this with own risk I’m not responsible of anything stupid u do) and go to WAMP icon click on it and select restart all Services if you correctly stopped the program that used u will get the orange W icon displaying your Apache is running properly and if communication is success true port 80

    4. If it’s still not and you have successfully stopped or there is no program owned port 80 go to WAMP -> click on it -> Apache -> Services -> install service and then go to first try WAMP -> Apache -> Services -> start/ resume Services then try all together WAMP icon -> restart all Services now you can see the orange icon or green W icon if you can’t see the green icon that means your WAMP program is not installed successfully on the system (actually the system plugging/service for PHP or My SQL)

    5. Let’s check if the PHP is installed successfully, go to WAMP icon -> localhost and I will load in the browser and also remember to give access permission permanently for the WAMP if your Firewall Asked
      And now the browser will load WAMP localhost main page
      If you can see this that means your PHP Plugging/Service working properly with Appache

    6. Now let’s find out y the hell green icon won’t appear? It’s about MySQL so let’s check is MySQL work or not go to WAMP icon -> PHPMyAdmin and if you see blank screen on browser that’s mean your MySQL service is not installed properly or you will see the PHP my admin you gud to go

    7. If you see the blank screen on browser let’s fix MySQL go to WAMP icon -> MySQL -> Services and it will install Services on Apache and then go to WAMP icon -> MySQL -> start/ resume Services then probably you will see the green W Icon now that’s men you are good to go try WAMP Icon -> phpMyAdmin you will see the below screen or similar in your browser

    8. But if you stll see the blank screen or error page like this
      What the hek was this mean? Go and try WAMP icon -> restart all Services and go to WAMP Icon -> phpMyAdmin if you see the PHP my admin now you good to go what if still you seem the error page? You need to configure MySQL ini file to set those values Hm is that it? no if you have above error its little bit tricky to fix it first, what you have to do is
      • Exit from WAMP server, right click on WAMP icon -> exit
      • Search your whale computer for file “my.ini” without double couts and delete it
      • Then start WAMP from start menu
      • Let the button go greenand go to WAMP -> Services -> remove Services
      • Then go to WAMP -> Services -> install Services
      • Then go to WAMP -> Services -> start/resume Services
      • And go to WAMP -> phpmyadmin
      • If you still see the blank or error window put the curser on the click several time and refresh the browser using F5 or refresh button on the browser you will get the phpmyadmin and now you r good to go
      • If its not work do it several times after re-starting pc it will work

    9. If still you are unable to fix this error uninstall the WAMP, Go to the installed folder (WAMP), Delete it completely, Re start the PC and Re-Install the Wamp again in Different location and try, if still it wont work then just forget it already he he

    10. If You have Removed Directory and you cant install WAMP and Run it Again download any registry cleaner (plz find trustworthy one or it will crash your system ) and run it will fix your registry problem and will make able to re-install and work with WAMP

How to use read (Sinhala Unicode) in your PC


                Hay guys after very long time im about to teach you how to read Sinhala (Unicode) web pages on the internet, what is the Unicode let’s have a look at that first, font means the graphical representation of the computer signals that equals to human character (read http://a-zpoint.blogspot.com/2011/11/how-to-install-fonts-in-your-computer.html) so if you used the computer to show the character then you need a table that matches the pattern and the human known symbol that table calls the ASCII table it used 8bits to represent a one single character so as u know 8bits or 8 position in the binary values can only contained 256 different patterns (2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2 = 256) that’s mean 8bit ASCII can only represent 256 human recognizable characters only. 

                Imagine you need to type a letter in Sinhala or Tamil or using another local language except English, When you’re using a personal pc then it doesn’t matter u can represent the English character set using Sinhala character set by using font files I think that is familiar to you. If you miss the font you will get freak symbols on your document.

The problem is when you work with the global environment like the internet you can’t remove the ASCII set from your web host, so if you used the local character then you have to give the download link to fonts that u used in ur web page that’s a little complex thing and it’s not standard way to deal with the language, the Unicode is standardized to solve that problem it’s a 16 bit character set that can hold 65536 symbols (in utf8 Unicode system)

Explanation about Unicode in http://www.unicode.org/
“The Unicode Standard is a character coding system designed to support the worldwide interchange, processing, and display of the written texts of the diverse languages and technical disciplines of the modern world. In addition, it supports classical and historical texts of many written languages.”

When you using Sinhala on the internet you have to download the Unicode layout for ur computer because the windows or Mac operating systems are designed to work with the ASCII character layout therefore you have to install the additional support to the computer to recognized the local keyboard layout otherwise it can’t show you the font and you will see box with hex codes inside of it.
If you can see the my name in this double quotas you have the Sinhala Unicode set if cant see than download it following rest of the details in hear

කසුන් චාමර ද අල්විස්

How to search for the Unicode appropriate for ur system
 
                Go to the browser and go to search section or go to the search engine and type “Sinhala Unicode download for xp sp2” if you need Tamil Unicode for the windows 7 then “Tamil Unicode download for windows 7” or any other O/S or any Unicode system I think u get the idea hear, ok search for  win xp sp2 Unicode  system

Or download it from this links
Click on this link above and go to the page then select the ur computer operating system it will download automatically

  
select your operating system

select your service pack (eg. Windows XP Service Pack 2)

 select save file

it will download to your desktop you can fined the location by right clicking on it and select "Open containing folder"

After download double click on the downloaded exe file in download folder or Firefox download window and double click on the exe file that you downloaded and follow the steps below
Double click on the downloaded file or double click on the download link on the Firefox download windows


remember to save and close all the works and then click OK

it will takes little time to install on your computer

and then it will ask you to install sinhala enabling pack on your PC
 click Next

Check agree button and click Next

finally click Finish


  After install select Start --> Turn off computer --> Turn off (start menu icon --> 'u' -->' r') 

After restart you can see language bar on bottom right corner of your task bar and language icons on the system tray.


Now you can start typing and wive any Sinhalese and Tamil web page on the internet

to start typing in Sinhala first you need to know the sinhala key layout download Wijesekara Sinhalese keyboard layout hear and take a printout

(click on this image and when its open larger right click on it and select save as)

Now Lets start typing

Font changing is unique to the window that u currently use, its mean if you used note pad to type the sinhala Unicode u have to open the Notepad and when its on focused then left click on the language bar and change the language type using popup selector as shown in picture below


remember the language change is only applied to the selected window only if you have to type in sinhala or tamil in the Word document on the same time you have to change the language type like this when the word document is selected


Enjoy chatting in sinhala on Facebook and other social networks and improve your typing skill with sinhala it will open lot of job opportunity for you.

01010101 = A
    So now the computer operating system can recognize the character output of the computer as symbols that human can understand, to display the graphics of the symbols the computer needs chart of illustrated chart equals to ASCII value, that table inside the O/S (operating system) we called a FONT file, without it computer never will be able to show the graphic of numbers, Characters, Symbols on your Screen.

Holding hands

Little girl and her father were crossing a bridge. The father was kind of scared so he asked his little daughter, 'Sweetheart, please hold my hand so that you don't fall into the river.' The little girl said, 'No, Dad. You hold my hand.' 'What's the difference?' Asked the puzzled father. 'There's a big difference,' replied the little girl. 'If I hold your hand and something happens to me, chances are that I may let your hand go. But if you hold my hand, I know for sure that no matter what happens, you will never let my hand go.' In any relationship, the essence of trust is not in its bind, but in its bond. So hold the hand of the person who loves you rather than expecting them to hold yours. This message is short......but carries a lot of Feelings.
