Greeting gents,
I have installed wampserver in my windows 7 labtop. The first problem was with port 80 since it was used by other program, so I changed the port for wampserver to 81 and the server now is online. The problem with the localhost and phpMyAdmin page, the page can't be accessed and I got this message "The webpage cannot be found" error # 404. Any idea?

It is best to re-configure the other software so you can use wamp on port 80. Web servers are supposed to run on port 80.
What other software was grabbing port 80??

Thanks, I manage to connect to the localhost using the port along with the localhost (localhost:81)

Yup thats how you do it but it is still better to make Apache run on port 80.
there are easy ways to re-configure most software that defaults to port 80, what was it that caused your problem, do you know?
