Sorry I've miss-worded so have thrown you. when I said live site I meant active site from local.
So I now have a local site structure and can view any site I add to the www directory by including them in the host file...and using the following line in the httpd.con file: virtualdocumentroot E:/wamp/www/%0
But I no longer see my wampserver home page when putting [
localhost] in the browser - i get the message "can't establish connection".
If I remove the virtualdocumentroot E:/wamp/www/%0 line from httpd.con I see the wampserver, and the projects listed, but when I open any of the projects they open in localhost/project name and the dynamic urls no longer work. I assume because the structure is no longer correct.
So my ideal outcome would be a wampserver homepage with all my projects listed and when I click on a project it behaves like it would when I have virtualdocumentroot E:/wamp/www/%0 line in http.con active
Sorry I'm struggling to explain clearly because it's all unclear. Once I understand what all the bits do I imagine this is simple stuff!
