Can someone tell me how to configure my installation to make it work on the dropbox cross 2 computers, i tried with WAMP and XAMPP, but did not work as it should.

with AMPPS, i REALLY liked it so far, and i REALLY want it to happen, all i want is to sync my htdocs and mysql data from the 2 computers, so i can keep working on my laptop when i am not home without internet connection.

I tried editing "httpd" and "httpd-ssl" as the other ones, and the htdocs as susual works fine because its just a folder, however with mysql, everything gets a little bit weird.

I copied the mysql data folder into my dropbox folder, changed the datadir="{$path}/mysql/data/"  to datadir="C:\Users\mase\Dropbox\localhost\mysql\data\"


and the mysql did NOT start at all, any help please ??

Hi,

Try this:

Cut paste your /Ampps/www and /Ampps/mysql/data folder in C:\Users\User_name\Dropbox\ directory.

Now open command prompt as Administrator and run following commands.

cd /path/to/Ampps
MKLINK /D www C:\Users\User_Name\Dropbox\www

cd /path/to/Ampps/mysql
MKLINK /D data C:\Users\User_Name\Dropbox\data

Restart Ampps.

Its saying  " The system cannot find the path specified. "

Then saying " symbolic link created for data <<===>>  C:\Users\MASE\Dropbox\data "
is that normal ??

I tried to start ampps, but its not working at all now, even the apache not working.
P.S. i restored the defaults for both apache and mysql

Hi,

We are glad to know that your issue was resolved.

Yes it will work for all the scripts as we have created a symbolic link of the www/ directory and mysql data directory on your Dropbox folder.

Please let us know if you need any further information.
