No I didn't. Where in the registry do I find those? By clean up do you mean delete? I don't want to screw anything up in there.

@yfastud - I currently do not have Wamp installed. I cannot find any folders in the registry pertaining to what you said in you reply. I have run the reg scans since I've had it installed so perhaps that removed them. Or the files are hiding somewhere I'm not looking.

@sans - thanks man...goodluck to you too

@ joeebel and sbarry50
I know people hate me when I say this, but since you guys uninstall and reinstall too many times, you might screw system registries, so if you have blank hard drive, try to install windows and wamp only to make sure it works first, then install other soft 1 by 1 to find out which 1 causes wamp stop working

That's really not an option for but thanks. Could you atleast tell me where I can find those registry entries?

Open regedit, then search and delete wampapache and wampmysql

I've been having the same php problem since yesterday,
and I have been uninstall / re-install since without success.
I also tried the regedit, removing wamp* items without any
progress. Please help !

apache log didn't show any problem:

Don't use wamp*, since you might not able to find them, use exactly wampapache and wampmysql

Here's how it got resolved:

- remove the current wampapache and wampmysql serivce
- un-install current wampserver package
- run highjackthis to remove some suspicious processes
- re-install wampserver to a new directory

somehow it start working again,

Good luck

what is highjackthis???

Your isp might block port 80, so try port 8080 when reinstall

Hi. I was having this same issue both with WAMP and with stand alone installations of Apache on my XP Pro SP2 machine. I don't have a domain or website registered so in the httpd.conf file I told it to listen to 127.0.0.1:8080 and then for ServerName I put my computer's IP address. Restarted Apache and went to [localhost] and everything works great. Took 5 hours to figure that one out. Yeehaw!

With IE 7 localhost goes to 127.0.0.1 but with FF goes to www.localhost.com

Hy sbarry50, I had exactly the same problem as yours. Not being an expert, I also tried to connect loclhost after installing xampp and wamp without success (not even once). The problems I had were exactly as you explained in all previous posts.

Then, I tried with "phpdev" from this link

[www.firepages.com.au]


That worked perfectly, and from the first time. But in the installation instructions it had the following warning:

Installation
The download comes in the form of an NSIS installer (nullsoft.com) , once your download is complete double click the phpdev423.exe, this will open the installer and ask you where you wish to install phpdev to, the very best bet is c:/phpdev ,<b> though anywhere should work (no promises for directories with a space in the name (i.e. Program Files etc))</b> unlike phpdev4 DONT install directly to c:/ or d:/ etc as it will get messy.


Of course I followed the recommendation of not installing in spaced named directory and all worked fine. I didn't try to re-install wamp or xammp in a non spaced directory name. So could that be the cause of the problems?

For me all this is a kind of black box.

Cheers!!

*SOLVED* If your localhost page never loads, Try making you IP Static, It worked for me...
Good Luck!
