WampServer

Hi,
I have installed mamp.
It setatus set to orange always. And i had read through the forum and tried to change port to 8080 and the it works when I type localhost:8080

im trying to get it to work with just the localhost address.

Any ideas how to do that?

I had IIS instlled previously.. and removed it once i instlled mamp.

When IIS was ther when I type localhost it takes me to IIS server home page..

How could I set MAMP to use localhost address?

Thanks

Sorry got the wrong name.. its WAMP...

PS: when I open the localhost address it givs 404 error..

Thanks

The simplest solution is to disable the IIS service from the services snapin

(use the start menu -> search programs and files -> services.msc to launch the snapin )

This will stop IIS using port 80. Then change Apache back to using port 80.
I find it easiest to install WAMP to the suggested directory of C:wamp as your final “web” folder will be C:wampwww.
We will need to make a few changes after it has finished installing to emulate a web server a little more.

We can start by creating a folder called “example.com” in the C:wampwww folder to store the files we are testing.
Inside the example.com folder create a file called index.php and insert some random data such as “hello world” so we can see if it’s working or not.

Allowing Virtual Hosts

Allowing virtual hosts will enable multiple websites, or hosts, to run from one machine so we need to enable it in the httpd.conf file.

Click the WAMP icon in your taskbar
Click Apache
Click http.conf to open the file
