Resolved phpmyadmin redirection error in WAMP

I am new to PHP. When I tried to install WAMP in my machine, it worked fine. That is the installation process was smoothly carried out. However, when I started the wamp server, the tray icon showed something went wrong. 2/3 out of half circle icon was yellow and the rest was white.  For your information : the environment I used was Vista home premium 32bit. After googling, I found out that the "listening port " of Apache HTTP server should be set to 8080 (something other than 80, which is the default). It could be done as follows.

 


However, surprisingly, phpmyadmin link on the quick launch tray is not working when the port is changed to 8080. In order to use that link, change the wampmanager.tpl file's "${c_navigator}"; Parameters: "http://localhost:8080/phpmyadmin/"; line so that after localhost ":8080" is added. Now it should work fine.

 Now, when you select phpmyadmin on the tray menu, it should work fine.
