WampServer

I installed Wamp successfully. All services load correctly, but I cannot access [localhost] in my browser (firefox or IE). I've searched the internet and tried every suggestion I can find.

I don't get an error, it just continually says waiting for localhost in the status bar, but never loads the page.

Disabling my firewall makes no difference.

relevant httpd.conf settings:
Listen 80
ServerName localhost
DocumentRoot "c:/wamp/www/"

hosts file
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host

127.0.0.1 localhost


netstats shows the following:
Active Connections

Proto Local Address Foreign Address State PID
TCP 0.0.0.0:80 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 3028
[httpd.exe]

Seems like this should be 127.0.0.1:80 rather than the 0's for local address, but I'm not sure what I need to do to change that.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Vicki

did u try http:/ /127.0.0.1 first in the browser?

what software do u currently have running?



you could try switch apache port to 81 to see if that works in the httpd.conf file

then use localhost:81 to connect to it

ServerName localhost:81

stopped and restarted apache and enter the following in the browser

[localhost]

but still get the same

no

not server name

That's what I did. I had changed both.

clear the history ? or list the software you have running?


skype? firewalls? etc

Cleared the Cache, History, etc.

No Skype. Windows firewall is turned off. I use V-Com antivirus which has NetDefense Firewall. I disable that, but it doesn't make a difference. I turn auto antivirus scanning off. Short of uninstalling it, I don't know how else to deactivate that.

I've closed out pretty much everything else, but nothing seems to make any difference.

Very frustrating. I guess I'll just stick to remote testing.

i have had this. look at this post please >> [forum.wampserver.com] it may help you.

i had thought that the antivirus program (node32) has been closed. But then, it dissepears again (i saw 8-10 hours later ). may be your problem is like that. Check your task manager if any virus program is working, of course you must have a virus program, but you should test to see the problem. i think.

Thanks. I had seen your post before. I don't see any antivirus in the task manager, so I don't think that is it. I'm really stumped.

how many httpd.exe are running in taskmanager? 1 or 2?

2, are there supposed to be 2? I end both and restart Apache and it loads 2 again.

yes 2 is right

can you send your apache_error log from c:/wamp/logs

This is the most current. I still have it set on port 81.

No, don't see it anywhere. I never installed it myself.

Did you ever try to uninstall these 2? Disconnect internet, then uninstall them, and restart wamp
