When I installed Wamp server 2.2 in my pc which is running on windows 8, Now i'm having a problem regarding phpmyadmin and it says that “it cannot access the phpmyadmin”. I tried http://localhost and http://127.0.0.1 but it also not working. Please suggest me what do to.?

If you already have a "real" online server, I would strongly suggest that you make a "sandbox" directory there to do development work on. You'll find it so much easier knowing that the Server, PHP, and MySQL levels will all match with the real server when you go live with your site. I don't know why so many people recommend using a PC-based *AMPP stack -- it always leads to problems when it comes time to transfer to a real server. And that's not even counting the work to install and get the stack working in the first place!

 

Now, if you don't have a real server, and have to use *AMPP for your development work (until you get a real server), that's a different issue. Are you unable to access phpMyAdmin at all? Did it come preconfigured with the *AMPP stack, or did you install phpMyAdmin? Are you confused in your terminology and are really referring to MySQL (the database server)? In configure.php, it would probably be "localhost" or maybe "127.0.0.1", without http://.
