Hi... I am verryy veryy new to wampserver and I just downloaded and installed it and I thought I had everything correct but I guess not..

whenever I type in [localhost] or go to localhost through wampServer the page will not load and I get "unable to connect to localhost"

any ideas?

thank you,
Pat

too many things that would prevent wamp to work, so you have to check your firewalls, any other soft that might use same port 80 or prevent wamp to use port 80 such as skype, zone alarm, internet optimizer, so on

I checked my firewalls and port 80 is open and I do not believe I have any program that uses port 80... I use Windows Vista by the way..

Then check Setup WAMP guide on my personal websites, especially the screenshots, to see if you're missing any step

Not sure what you meant because I did NOT shut down my computers last week at all. Did you access my personal websites through my signature?

Is it working for you now? I can access them now from far away from my LAN w/o any problem, and I also see more than 100 people access my websites too
