WampServer

I installed wamp 3.0.6 and placed my project folder (Pedroduino index) in "C:\wamp64\www" including an appropriate index.php file (index_PedroWii.php). The Project shows in localhost but will not open. No error it just won't open. If however I enter "localhost/Pedroduino index/index_PedroWii.php" into the address bar of the browser the page will open correctly. I have tried to find of why this might be without any success. Could anyone suggest why this might be please. Thanks Pedro.

Hi,

Don't put files in wamp64/www/ folder . It is the Wampserver homepage (localhost).

You can put other folders like wamp64/www/mysite/ there to put your local site, but, anyway, you must use VirtualHost: The need for Virtual Host

You will see that with VirtualHost you can use any folder on your disks.

Thanks for your reply Opomatic I will look at how to set up VirtualHost.

I am running 64bit Windows 7 so I installed the 64bit version on of 3.0.6 WAMP. However I saw that this is best left for experienced developers which I am definitely not. Should I therefore uninstall and use the 32bit version instead please?

Hi

There is no real difference between the 32 and 64 bit verisons as long as you are using PHP7 or greater.
