WampServer

I'm trying my hand at php, and was directed to wampserver.com from a tutorial on lynda.com.

I've installed the software package, and the php4 addon... and everything seems to be running (at least according to the little odometer) but when I try accessing [localhost] my browser just spins in circles looking for it.

There is no "error page" or cannot find server response... my browser just simple searches forever. Do you think there is a chance you could help me straighten this problem out?

Thanks very much

are you on a router, or network?

Hi I am getting the same result as you, it says page cannot be found. Could this be because my computer is not part of a network and not connected to the internet? I am trying to run it locally how can i do this?

exact same problem here



i have tried to install everything seperatly, i noticed apache 2.0 want working, but apache 1.3.3.4 was working just fine...however, mysql wasnt working and i like wampserver...so i tried to install that again. all services running, however, a white page when loading

is there a way to solve this?

i have already uninstalled IIS....and tried some things, but i must be overlooking something. somebody PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help me!

oh for crying out loud!!! %$#$^#^@$%@ i feel like smashing something...for example my laptop...but ill regret that later. i been trying for days to get wampserver to work, but i finally found it....why didnt anybody i asked know about this?

this solved my problem:

old:
UseCanonicalName off

new:
UseCanonicalName on

If there are folks out there that want to know what UseCanonicalName does or will help them fix some apache problems:
