By doing this, you are exposed to problems later on. A local site, it must be: (http://my-webite/) AND NOT (http://localhost/my-website/) You must use VirtualHost
Thank you, that worked. It all works fine now. Howver, I note that we have now reverted it back to its original state, according to the documented change by WAMP Developers. Was their change wrong? Or was this change have a dependency on Virtual Server usage - which was not documented (that I can see) anywhere?
Also, what about Otomatic's response? This is the first I hear of using Virtual Host, which I know nothing about. I'll examine the link Otomatic provided.
Optomatic, what kind of problems are you warning us about? Perhaps the problems will only be encountered if certain actions are performed, which may not happen in my environment and so not be a problem. It would be good to know what kind of problems can occur, so one can understand, use VirtualHost and prepare for them if necessary.
Many Thanks
Steve

Optomatic, I have followed your link, read the content and now totally understand. Thank you. Please ignore my queries to you. I will implement the recommendations.
Thank you. Thank you all for your help.

The Apache brotherhood took pein to write documentation detailed, precise and multilingual; it is not for nothing. ALL hosters, using Apache, use VirtualHost; you do not realize it, precisely because it is the best method to host sites. If you do not do it locally, with any server, Wampserver or other, inevitably you will have problems even more important if you use Web applications like Joomla or Wordpress, but they are not alone. So use the right methods, from the beginning.
