WampServer

Suddenly, a couple of days ago, after running with no problems for over a year, WAMPServer - or rather what seems to be its Apache component - stopped working for me. I tried reinstalling WAMPServer with no improvement.

Anything I try to run on //localhost/ presents as nothing but a blank, white screen.

I am running Windows Vista Home Premium and McAfee anti-virus software.

I have no idea whether this is caused by an update to Windows, to McAfee, or is down to something in WAMPServer itself, and have no idea how to resolve the problem. As a temporary measure, I've had to switch all my development work on to a commercial Web Hosting Service.

Any pointers towards a remedy?

auto update would block wamp or add v6 to hosts file so make sure to add exception for wamp in all firewall/antivirus and hosts file contains only this line

127.0.0.1 localhost

Thanks, but you're playing with my ignorance <g>.

(1) What and where is my hosts file?

(2) How do I add an exception for wamp in McAfee and Windows firewalls?

1. To setup access, follow this

2. 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
