WampServer

I've only just started using wordpress/headway/wampserver so bear with me here...

I've been creating a wordpress site using headway hosted locally on wampserver I've completed the index page which I access by just entering localhost into my browser but when it comes to editing any of my other pages or even viewing them I just get a blank page with the message

"Not Found

The requested URL /about-php/ was not found on this server.

Apache/2.4.9 (Win32) PHP/5.5.12 Server at localhost Port 80"

I have limited knowledge as I only started using this software around three weeks ago and have been thrown in at the deep end at my new job.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

you need to enable rewrite_module to enable the rewrite_module using the wampmanager menu system:

left click the wampmanager icon ( thats the W icon that sits in the system tray, usually bottom right of your screen )


wampmanager -> Apache -> Apache modules -> and click the line [rewrite_module] if it is not ticked
You may have to scroll the menu down to find rewrite_module


Alternatively you can manually edit the httpd.conf file

left click wampmanager -> Apache -> httpd.conf

This will open that file in notepad and you can locate the line

#LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

and remove the comment symbol '#' to activate the module. Then save the file and restart Apache to activate this change.
