Set Up WAMP Server with MS SQL Server instead of MySQL

➢ Go to Microsoft downloads site:

https://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/

➢ If you have access to the Microsoft Imagine login with your college id:

https://imagine.microsoft.com/en-us

➢ Restore database in SQL Server 2014 or higher from Microsoft Imagine

for full complete access.

➢ Download WAMP Server V 3.0 or higher from:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/wampserver/

Points- To- Remember:

➢ Visual Studio 2014 or higher should be installed.

➢ Microsoft Server SSMS 2014 or higher should be installed.

Download and Installation Instructions: ➢ Download Visual Studio and follow the instructions.

➢ Then click on all the check boxes that you would like to download or on the languages that

you like to work. For this project you need to select ASP.NET and web development and

database storage. The primary use to download Visual studio is to support MS SQL Server

which will use some of the components of visual studio.

➢ Depending on the applications and language development platforms checked the download

and installation time will be given at the right bottom and then click “install”.

➢ It takes some time for the installation, right after the installation it asks for the immediate

restart. Please restart and you be all set with visual studio.

➢ It will be auto logged in with the mail-id that you have downloaded, if not log-in to your

account.

➢ Then check for all the platforms are downloaded properly or not.

➢ After WAMP Server download start the installation:

➢ Then try to start the WAMP Server an icon will be seen in the icon notification bar. In the start

the icon will be seen “red” in color i.e., all the services need to start. ➢ In general it runs 3 services Apache server, Phpmyadmin, MariaDB or DB Adminstration.

➢ Wait until all the services turn on and the icon turns to green. The major error/ issue while

working on this is if some other application in the local system is using the same port then the

WAMP Apache will not work on this so if Apache is not working try to change the port and

check. ➢ Click on WAMP Icon-> Apache -> Service administration-> httpd.conf ➢ The primary local host id would be: 80, so wherever you see ‘80’ change it to 81, 82… or

8080/8081 etc. Don’t turn it to 3306 since it’s your system host id and click on save.

➢ Then try to login to the phpmyadmin here the URL would be localhost followed by your host

id that you have given. Username will be root and password will be empty at first. Login and

create user and password followed by database.
