WampServer

Hi!

I installed WampServer on my new laptop, I click on shortcut, User Account Control window asks whether I want to allow wampmanager.exe to make changes to my machine, I click Yes and then... nothing! Where am I going wrong?

Thanks! I'd totally missed that, probably because I'm not used to the new system yet. My next problem is that localhost has taken me to an IIS7 advert page which links to the web. So now I need to ask a supplementary - how can I stop Wndows hijacking WampServer?

IIS and Apache/Wamp are both web server and might conflict in some way, so you have to disable IIS in order for Wamp to work

Disable IIS in Vista/W7:

Control Panel, Uninstall Programs, Turn Widows Features On or Off, uncheck Internet Information Services

Disable IIS in XP:

Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs, Add/Remove Windows Components, uncheck Internet Information Services (IIS)

Restart computer, then restart Wamp

Also, open file hosts in folder C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers\etc and delete anything in there and have only this line and nothing else

127.0.0.1 localhost
