i have created a file using notepad, named variables.php in www folder. but when i try to open this file by typing [localhost], the following error comes:

"Not Found The requested URL /variables.php was not found on this server.

Hi,

Never put a php file in wamp/www/. Put the file in another folder, for example: wamp/www/mysite/ and apply: WAMPServer 2.5 The Homepage, Your Projects Menu and the need for Virtual Hosts

doesnt work

Hi,

Notepad is absolutely not recommended to create or modify the php file.
Use Notepad++

And if you carefully and calmly follow the instructions in the link I gave above, it will still work.

I just formatted my laptop and installed window 8 into it. I went ahead to run my wamp server to it and fully successful. I open the local host of the wamp server in my browser and was successful too. I created my website folder in the directory of the wamp server then installed wordpress into it. It was successfully installed. I came down again to preview the installed wordpress files in my wamp server and not showing rather giving error message that i should check my internet connection. I was not online when doing this and find it hard on how to resolve it. Can somebody help me out. I just need to preview my site in the browser. Please, note the problem is not from wordpress installation.

View the screen shot below. My wbsite folder is eagle and not previewing in the browser.

@ Otomatic it is working even only with notepad++. now i have created the same file using notepad++ and placed that file in www folder. and when i run that file by typing "[127.0.0.1]; (testNP++ is the name of the file), the web page is opening fine. i dint have to make any changes in the wamp config files. thank u very much brother.

Hi,

Please, do not you interfere in a discussion already open. Open your own discussion. Even if your problem seems similar, the causes can be totally different.
> Please, note the problem is not from wordpress installation.
If you installed Wordpress without using VirtualHost is improper installation.
See: WAMPServer 2.5 The Homepage, Your Projects Menu and the need for Virtual Hosts and open a new discussion.
