Using Perch with Wamp
Hi, all was working fine locally with Perch and Wamp then I had to reinstall windows and hence wamp.
Now (with a virgin Wamp set up) when I try to set up a website locally using Perch, ie doing [local website]/perch/setup I get error messages (see below). Just a quick question, is this likely to be a Wamp thing or a Perch thing? Is there an easy answer? I'm using Perch 3.x and Wamp, latest x64 version.
Thanks for any help, cheers - Mark

If the same files were working before, and the environment has changed it's going to be the environment not Perch. We know nothing about Wamp so you might be better posting to their forums for help with that.
Hello Rachel, thanks very much for this.
I'm not saying the same files were working before. What I'm saying is that it works online, I ran the setup (as above) and it gave the error message (also above) saying that there is a PERCH_ERROR_MODE constant missing.
Did you see the errors above?
Cheers - Mark
The errors don't really make sense on a functional system. Have you checked you've got a complete set of files?
Thanks Drew, that's very helpful.
When you say "system", do you mean Perch or Wamp? When you say 'complete set of files', do you mean Perch or Wamp. Please could you be a little more specific if possible.
Thanks again for coming back to me.
Cheers - Mark PS, do youknow of any professional, paid support for this sort of error that might be able to help pinpoint/troubleshoot the issue?
I mean Perch. We don't know Wamp and have no capacity to support it.
If in doubt, download a fresh copy of Perch from your account and replace the
perch/corefolder, just as you do when updating.
