WampServer

I am hoping anyone can help me with an issue i am having on my localhost. I have a working wampserver on my Laptop. It connects via port 8080, thus i have to input [localohost] in the browser to use. I have sub folders for each site i build. Unlike before when I used to access localhost via [localhost], when you click on each folder it just opens up the site.

I noticed that now when i click on the folders, using port 8080, it takes the folder name and appends 8080 to it.

Example folder name is "web". On clicking the web folder, it goes to [web] instead of [localohost].

I know its not a major issue but I would like to know how i could correct this.

Your help will be much appreciated. Thank you. My email is kufray@gmail.com

Hi,


'http://web:8080/ is not the same as 'http://localhost:8080/web' and it is not an issue.

You need to use VirtualHost : The need for Virtual Host

Why do you use port 8080 instead of 80 that is the default port for http protocol?
