WAMP server

[DonH 5]

I have a WAMP server installed on my local Win7 system to test changes to a website before pushing them to the remote server. Recently, I have experienced very long (several minutes) hangs when accessing the MySQL database. There is no need for the server to face outwards. It is only for testing purposes. I want to satisfy myself that ESS is not causing the hangs, so I can look for other causes. I have right clicked to disable the firewall, but that doesn't seem to make a difference. Does anyone have suggestions?

Hi Don,

Have you tried disabling protection modules as well as the firewall simultaneously ? As a result all protections should then be offline. ie real-time, web access, email all in one etc.

 

If that doesn't work, try disabling HIPS followed by a restart as well to test, an attempt to rule out ESET completely, no doubt without uninstalling.

I tried disabling protection and firewall with no change. Just going to localhost caused IE 10 to timeout. I disabled HIPS and everything seems to speed along as 'normal'. I haven't had a chance to test the WAMP server yet, but it's a huge improvement in all of the other programs that I regularly have open.

This morning I tried WAMP again with HIPS disabled but protection and firewall enabled. Just navigating to localhost seemed to hang. The same when I disabled both firewall and protection. I tried again, this time starting WAMP as an administrator. The same hang with HIPS disabled and protection and firewall enabled. When I disabled protection and firewall, access was 'normal'. So, how do I have traffic on localhost not be affected by either the firewall or protection? I still want protection from external sources. I can make sure that WAMP is not open to outside connections.

I've been using WAMP in conjunction with ESS with no problems. Does the problem actually go away after uninstalling ESS?

I solved the problem by going back to XAMPP.
