WampServer

hi i installed WAMP and when i wright localhost in explorer its show page not found
help pls

1. Have you run the WAMPServer icon on your desktop to launch the servers?

2. If you have what colour is the Wamp Manager icon, which should sit in the system tray?

1.yes
2. The color is green after pressing start all services

If your write '127.0.0.1' into the browsers address bar, does the WAMP home page display?

If it does, do the following:



Check your hosts file

HOW TO EDIT THE HOSTS FILE
The hosts file is protected by windows, in order to save it you must have Administrator privilages.
Vista/W7/W8 you may think you are an Administrator BUT YOU ARE NOT.

To successfully save the hosts file do this to launch your editor with Admin Privilages.

Locate your editors icon on the desktop or from the Start menus ( notepad will do if you have nothing else )
left click + shift over your chosen editor icon - will show a menu.
select "Run As Administrator" from the menu.
Navigate your editor to the c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file.

When you have made changes you will now be allowed to save them.



Your hosts file should have these entries in it.

127.0.0.1 localhost
::1 localhost

127.0.0.1 =404 not found

Hmm, interesting.

have you tried 'http://localhost' and 'http://127.0.0.1'

Yes both options

Yesterday I installed some MySQL files maybe because of this ?

What did you install?

Webmatrix

That will probably do it.

Well I will uninstall all MySQL files that came with webmartix hope it will
Solve the problem

That probably also installs IIS 8 or 7.5

That is probably what is causing most of your problems.

If you want to use IIS stick with webmatrix, if you want to use apache and mysql then it will probably all have to go.

tnx alot it works
