Don't forget that WAMP has two php.ini files. One in Apache directory, one in php directory (bin\php\php5.X.X). Wampserver Tray manages the one in Apache directory.

To be able to run php cli tools (e.g php artisan), you need to uncomment the php_pgsql and php_pdo_pgsql in the php.ini in php directory.

1. After Enabling Postgresql extension from WAMP icon i was able to get postgresql admin page but bin/cake bake all command was failing with error 'php extn missing'. (referred @rails_id's post below to complete postgresql integration with WAMP)

2. checked in cmd prompt with php -m, no "postgresql" module was present.

3. Went to php installation directory, in my case it was "C:\wamp64\bin\php\php7.2.10" and enabled (removed the ;) following pg module in php.ini file:

   extension=pdo_pgsql extension=pgsql

4. restarted the wamp services.

5. bin/cake bake all is working fine from command prompt.

Answer 5

Thank you. These instructions worked once I also added 'Require local' to the phppgadmin.conf file:

Alias /phppgadmin "C:/wamp/apps/phpPgAdmin-5.1/" 

<Directory "C:/wamp/apps/phpPgAdmin-5.1/">
    Require local
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
    AllowOverride all
        Order Deny,Allow
  Allow from all
</Directory>

1. After installation of PostgreSQL, you need to copy libpq.dll from wamp\bin\php\phpX.X.X to wamp\bin\apache\Apache2.2*\bin . And restart the Wampserver.
2. Download phpPgAdmin here.
3. Extract phpPgAdmin-5.1.zip in C:\wamp\apps So the path will be, C:\wamp\apps\phpPgAdmin-5.1.

4. Create a file called phppgadmin.conf in C:\wamp\alias. And copy paste the following :

   Alias /phppgadmin "C:/wamp/apps/phpPgAdmin-5.1/" 
   
   <Directory "C:/wamp/apps/phpPgAdmin-5.1/">
       Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
       AllowOverride all
           Order Deny,Allow
     Allow from all
   </Directory>
   

5. Left Click on the Wampserver Tray icon. Navigate to PHP > PHP extension. Then enable this

   a. php_pgsql 
   b. php_pdo_pgsql extension.
   

6. Open C:\wamp\apps\phpPgAdmin-5.1\conf\config.inc.php,

   a. find $conf['servers'][0]['host'] = ''; change to $conf['servers'][0]['host'] = 'localhost';
   b. find $conf['extra_login_security'] = true; change true to false

7. Restart All service

8. Go to http://localhost/phppgadmin/ and try to login.

9. Default Login credentials are

   • Username = "postgres"
   • Password = "root"
