1 - Windows 7 64 bit
2 - WampServer 2.5 32 bit
3 - Apache 2.4.9
4 - PHP 5.5.12
5 - MySQL 5.6.17
6 - What color is the WampServer icon: it's green.
Some copy/paste from the Joomla forum where I tried to get help for this problem before:
Immediately after finishing installing Wamp (32bit) I copy/paste the Joomla Full Package 3.3.6 into it's own folder under the www folder. That's where I unzip all the files, delete the package file I unzipped it all from and according to instructions, I should then open localhost followed by a click on the link and the name of the folder I created to unzip all files in. But nothing that I expect is happening. Nothing that is supposed to follow according to the [youtube] videos is happening. Instead, I get a message saying that the web page wasn't found (Chrome) or the server couldn't be found (Firefox). Consequently, I can't install Joomla. What am I doing wrong?
Are the Apache and MySQL services running? The colour of the Wamp icon in the system tray is green if they are running. --- Yes, they are running. When I want to click on the directory Joomla 3.3 on the Wamp start screen it doesn't respond.
You can also use an option in the Apache menu of the Wamp icon to see if the HTTP port 80 is in use by some other application. --- The answer that I get returned is:
[Your port 80 is actually used by:
Server: Apache/2.4.9 (Win32) PHP/5.5.12
Press Enter to exit... ]
Did you add the folder you created as an alias to the Wamp configuration? --- I'm not sure what you mean by that. I extracted Joomla in the www directory as shown in this video: [

I hope someone can help me with this problem.
