WampServer

Hello,

A few days ago, I downloaded and installed Wamp on my WinXP...
everytime I try to access localhost, I get the annoying "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" page on my browser....

I double checked everything...
all services are online... the only firewall I'm using is the Windows Firewall (in which Apache HTTP server is on the exceptions list)... and no, I'm not using Skype...
I also tried to re-install Wamp.... nothing!
I'm too exhausted.... I'm trying to fix this problem for days now...
but it seems like there's nothing I can do....

H-E-L-P!!!

and ur sure the wamp icon is white?? If so ..post up ur apache error and mysql log from c:/wamp/logs

Well, I restarted all services...

this is the recent apache log:
[Fri May 16 18:54:18 2008] [notice] Parent: Received shutdown signal -- Shutting down the server.

and this is the MySQL log:

no errors, as I can see!

yes these are fine

make sure u have a index.php file in c:/wamp/www

then
in your browser type in http: //127.0.0.1

well, it seems that [127.0.0.1] works...
it opens "WAMP5 Homepage"...

ok localhost is not set up for u


goto C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc


open the file 'hosts' in notepad


and add a line like this


127.0.0.1 localhost




then save

Actually, in that Hosts file, you have to take out this line if you see it there

::1 localhost

well, the line "127.0.0.1 localhost" is already in the Hosts file...

and, no, I didn't find the line:
::1 localhost

btw,
I saw that this line is written right before the entries inserted by Spybot S&D... does it have anything to do with that?

post up the entire hosts file

it's quite long.... I had to cut it short:

well, it works...
but, while testing, I saw that www.localhost.com opens WAMP5 Homepage even when I remove that line from the Hosts file...

btw,
I installed IIS once... but then I uninstalled it...
maybe one of its services is still running...
