WampServer

Hi there to everybody, i've correctly installed WampServer 2.5 on my Windows 7 64bit system.

WampServer icon is Green, after i click on Start all Services and click on phpMyAdmin it opens a tab or a new window in my browser (i'm using Chrome) and the page does not load and stay all the time without ending by "Waiting for LocalHost" loading.

I really need to get this work, i've already unchecked the Skype box about the ports use, and close the Skype app too when i'm launching WampServer.

I've already checked using in the cmd the netstat -aon command if there was any other application using the port 80, bu other then Wamp no process or app is using that port.

To make easy, the Access log of Apache is blank, and here below is reported the Apache error log:

Yes, here below is what i've got in the file, i opened it with the notepad.

Try adding this line as well.

::1  localhost

Thanks for the reply, added the line but still not working

Ahh I read the question again and you are using Chrome.

Chrome does something odd with localhost, I guess to protect Joe Public from something !?!?!?

There appear to be a number of possible solutions, but this one seem to be the current favorite :-

Go to chrome://flags and set "Built-in Asynchronous DNS" to "Disabled", then restart the browser.

My Chrome works with this setting set to Default, so I obviously found another solution but I cannnot remember what it was.

There is quite a lot of chatter out there about this Chrome specific issue, so maybe you can find another solution. If so let us know what it is and I will try and build a list of fixes.


As you are, I assume, trying to use WAMPServer as a development environment, you should also have IE,FireFox,Opera and maybe some other browsers. I suggest you use one of those, and enter 'localhost' in the address bar. If they work its definitely a Chrome specific issue.
