WampServer

okay, so here's the story. I have my laptop right not that's running vista home premium, lots of ram and memory and whatnot. My hard drive started to take a crap so I backed everything up took it out, and installed a new one. So I went and reinstalled Wamp 2 (which is brilliant by the way), and everything's working great. Well see I'm mainly a wordpress developer, so I went to install WordPress onto it, and everything goes well (no username or password is what I entered into the installation screen), and it says I can't connect to the database server at localhost.

I never ever had this problem before and I also tried XAMPP but that didn't work as well, so I'm assuming it's not your guys' program. Also I checked the hosts file and it shows:

127.0.0.1 localhost
::1 localhost


so it's now there.

If anybody could help me out I would very much appreciate it.

Thanks,
Keenan P.

delete ::localhost from the file

Still doesn't work. The whole code for my hosts file looks like this: [pastebin.com]

Any other ideas?

if it looks like that it should work....
be sure that after you removed the
::1 localhost
and saved the file u restarted wamp or your pc

is the wamp icon white?

yes, but error
[localhost] -> [localhost]

show error:

Request-URI Too Large

The requested URL's length exceeds the capacity limit for this server.

please help me

mrdanglam, seems like you directly run or simply copy the script from your live host which causes the issue, so make sure you have to install that script on wamp then export data and db from live host and import them into that script in wamp
