I'm using windows 8. recently i've installed wampserver3_x86_apache2.4.17_mysql5.7.9_php5.6.15. but the put online/offlline option is missing. I did wamp manager->wamp settings->menus item online/offline. it doesn't work also. there is no green the green mark beside this option.
What to do?
Its not missing it is now an optional menu
Right click Wampmanager -> WAMPSetting -> Menu Item: Online/Offline
If you click it so there is a Tick beside it, you will see the Online/Offline
menu on the left click
menu.
However it was made optional as its use is defunct.
You should create Virtual Hosts for each of your projects, then you can amend each of those individually to control the Apache access rules.
In fact in WAMPServer 3 or greater, there is a Virtual Host defined for localhost
so this old Online/Offline
process wont actually do what you want.
You now have to go to the wamp\bin\apache\apache{version}\conf\extra\httpd-vhosts.conf
file and manually amend that entry
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName localhost
DocumentRoot D:/wamp/www
<Directory "D:/wamp/www/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Require all granted #<-- changed line
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
This file can be edited using the wampmanager menus like this
wampmanager -> Apache -> httpd-vhosts.conf
However it is not recommended to allow this sort of access to localhost. It is better to create a Virtual Hosts for each of your projects eg
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName localhost
DocumentRoot D:/wamp/www
<Directory "D:/wamp/www/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Require local
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName project1.dev
DocumentRoot D:/wamp/www/project1
<Directory "D:/wamp/www/project1">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
