9. If MySQL is the default manager, it will use port 3306, in which case MariaDB will use port 3307.
If MariaDB is the default manager, it will use port 3306, in which case MySQL will use port 3307. In some cases, it can also be port 3308.

Creating or adding a VirtualHost
1. It is necessary to determine where you want to place your local site.
For example: C: \ wamp64 \ www \ Your folder name
For ease of explanation, here are some names:
– sitefolder : the folder where you want to host the local site
– sitename : name to be called local site (http: // sitename /)
We need a folder to host the site, existing before the creation of the VirtualHost, we need to create it using an explorer running as administrator (see the bottom of the page *):
– Move-in the drive tree to where we want to create a folder “sitefolder”
– Right-click, select “Create” then select “Folder”.
– Launch Wampserver, wait for the icon W
After the icon turns green, right-click on it and select “Localhost”
2. In the window that opens, select “Add a Virtual Host”
3. For “Virtual host name Without space – Without underscore (_)” enter:
sitename
– For “Full absolute path to the VirtualHost folder. Examples: C: / wamp / www / project / or E: / www / site1 /” we type :
“C:\wamp64\www\sitefolder” or shortened C:\sitefolder\
And click:
– “Start the creation of the VirtualHost”
As indicated: This may take a while.
4. After this “time” has elapsed, it may be indicated that, unfortunately, certain operations required for Windows and Apache to recognize this new VirtualHost cannot be performed automatically by the browser, so a DNS reload is required.
To do this, in the lower panel, click LMB on the “Wampserver” icon, select “Tools” and then select “Restart DNS”. After that, wait until the dream icon turns green.
5. Now go back to the main menu
There you may notice that you have “Your VirtualHost” with items like this:
– localhost
– sitename
You are now ready to set up your local site in the c: \ sitefolder \ folder, indicating, if required during installation, that the URL-адрес (http: // sitename /) (no brackets).
* To run an application using its shortcut as administrator:
– Right-click on the shortcut then select “Properties”
Click the “Advanced” button
– Select “Run as administrator”
Then click “Ok”
Select “Apply” and “Ok”
