WampServer

Hello! I don't know if a photo of the error I have with Wampserver can be attached. But I'm going to copy and paste it to see if someone can help me, I searched everywhere for the error and I can't find the solution.

Warning: file_get_contents(C:/Windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\wamp\scripts\wampserver.lib.php on line 601

In some places I read that I had to disable the antivirus. I did that but nothing happened.

The ServerName localhost is not defined into hosts file.
The file: C:/Windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts is not writable
The file C:/Windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts does not exists

That's another thing it says at the bottom of the page. I await your answers, thank you very much

Hi,

> C:/Windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts

This file does not exist and/or is blocked in writing and/or is locked by your anti-virus.

Hello, thanks for answering. I looked for the file in the corresponding folders and there are 2 files called hosts. One is an iCalendar file and the other is a text document. It seems that the problem would be that the antivirus is blocking it

You have to tell your anti virus to allow wampmanager to update the HOSTS file

Hello, sorry for the delay. I saw that in the Wampserver menu, pressing with the left click, an option appears that says "Warning. Hosts file not writable". I clicked on it and it opened a window similar to the CMD that said this:

Warning


There is problem with the file C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
In order to create or modify VirtualHost,
it is imperative to be able to write to the hosts file.
Check that your anti-virus allows to write the hosts file.

----------------------------------------
The file C:/Windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts does not exists

Press ENTER to continue

Ok,
So did you find out what was locking it? And did you do something about it??
