WampServer

My companies use of a proxy server does not allow my WAMP server to utilize "localhost" as my URL to acess my "wwwroot" folder. (that is what my IT department told me)

Now anytime I want to acces WAMP's web or admin pages I have to replace "localhost" with the machines local IP address. Could anyone suggest what would be the best way to implement this so I can access these pages without haveing to manually replace the URL every time?

Thanks, RALPH

ip addresses look something like this, but each computer has a different one so yours number will be different:

123.25.205.200

So, if that was your ip, open up your browser, and goto:
[123.25.205.200]

I know my machines IP address. The problem is that all the WAMPservices default to "localhost" (127.0.0.1) , so everytime I access a page, I have to manually replace "localhost " with my machines's IP. I was wondering if there is some way I can change to what IP the defults are. (my IP instead of 127.0.0.1)

I apologize if I am not being clear in my description.

Thanks, RALPH

find the file c:\wamp\wampserver.ini. Open it in NotePad, and go to Edit->Replace. In the box that says Find what, enter this:
http://localhost

in the box that says Replace with, enter your ip address like this:
http://123.25.205.200

remeber to relace the 123.25.205.200 part above with your actual ip address.

That was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!

I replaced all instances of "localhost" in the "wampserver.ini" file. Everything associated fine.

Thanks again for the assistance, RALPH
