Setting a MySQL server using WAMP
#1

I want to start a test server, but WAMP IP is configured only for Local stuff, which is 127.0.0.1, How can I set it up and change it to Public IP

You can't, basically EVERYONE'S WAMP/XAMPP is 127.0.0.1, which is commonly known as "localhost", so in your MySQL settings, you add your DB host as localhost.

So, there is no way to start MySQL server with a public IP ?

Either you bought/have a MySQL config in your server/host, there will be a unique IP. So, basically, no.

Why would you need to start a MySQL server on a public IP? A MySQL server is typically run on the localhost (127.0.0.1) or on the LAN (192.168.0.0/24 or 172.16.0.0/12 or 10.0.0.0/ to minimize delays and security risks.
