While using Linux, the LAMP stack was always ready to work on. But on Windows, I have to manually start the WAMP server. This is a pain in the ass! 😛

Today I found a way to run WAMP server at startup. I’m going to share how.

# Go to start menu.
# Right click on My Computer
# Click Manage
# In the “Services and Applications” section, find “wampapache” and “wampmysqld”.
# To start these services on Windows Startup, double click on each of them, set startup to Automatic.

Restart your PC to see if it works 🙂

PS: We are only starting the apache and mysql servers on startup. So don’t expect the WAMP icon in the taskbar. Visit localhost to see if the server is online 🙂

thanks, this tip helped today..

Thanks for making our life easier… 🙂

hai sir… not start my wamp server

There is a much simpler and effective way 🙂

1) Open Task Scheduler
2) Create a Task
3) Set the Trigger to be “At Startup”
4) Set the Action to start the wampmanager.exe (default location: C:\wamp)
5) Hit OK and test it out 😉
