WampServer

As newby I recently installed Wampserver 2.0 on my PC with Windows XP Pro.
So far..so good but:

1. I can not reach "localhost" with Firefox 3 or IE7. The answer is: Authentication and password required..!
But during installing as administrator Windows XP Pro I did not fill in a password at all...!
So I don't know how to Authenticate and with which password..!


Controlling "C:\windows\system32\drivers\ect\hosts in Notepad there is present: "127.0.01 localhost"

2. When I click in the menu of Wampserver on: "Put online" .... I got the answer:

Could not execute menu-item (internal error) (exception)
Could not perform service action:
De service is niet gestart.

Please help me out what to do ...!

1. check and edit or remove htaccess file in your www/project folder
2. you can manually edit file httpd.conf to enable it
search:

<Directory />
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
    Order deny,allow
    Deny from all
</Directory>

change to:

<Directory />
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

save file and restart wamp to take effect
remember, you only do this if you want to enable lan and worldwide access; offline still work on your wamp computer

Thank you yfastud for your answer.

Still I can not reach "localhost" with Firefox 3 or IE7 or in the menu of Wampserver.

The answer is: Authentication and password required..!
But during installing as administrator Windows XP Pro I did not fill in a password at all...!
So I don't know how to Authenticate and with which password..!

1. check and edit or remove htaccess file in your www/project folder
1.1 Yet I do not have a project folder in wamp/www, while "http:\\localhost " is still unreachable without username and password.


2. you can manually edit file httpd.conf to enable it
2.1 I did change httpd.conf as you wrote above but still no effect!

3. Wampserver is now online or offline so I want.. but localhost...??

I still hope you have the answer for me.

ab

to

Listen 81



save and restart wamp


in browser goto h ttp://localhost:81

Hey mr Steven,

I changed Listen 80 in Listen 81 and went with FF3 to [localhost]

The answer is in Dutch: "Firefox kan geen verbinding maken met de server op localhost:81."

I think you know allready the answer: Firefox can not make acces with the server on localhost:81

ab

Hey mr Steven,

I do not know what "Microsoft iis" is and if I have installed "Microsoft iis"...?

ab

It is a webserver .. it comes on windows sometimes.. it blocks wamp from using port 80. so wen u go to localhost u may be actualy looking at that webserver instead

resume:

When I push the menu "Localhost" of Wampserver 2,0c or fill in the adressbar FF3 or IE7
“h ttp://localhost" and activate, this adress has changed in to:
“h ttp://localhost/localstart.asp" . The following message below appears but in Dutch:

U bent niet gemachtigd voor het weergeven van deze pagina


U bent niet gemachtigd voor het weergeven van deze map of pagina met de referenties die u hebt opgegeven.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ga als volgt te werk:
• Klik op de knop Vernieuwen om het met andere referenties te proberen.
• Neem contact op met de websitebeheerder als u van mening bent dat u deze map of pagina wel moet kunnen weergeven.
• Het e-mailadres of het telefoonnummer vindt u op de localhost introductiepagina.


HTTP 401.2 - Geen machtiging: Aanmelden mislukt vanwege serverconfiguratie

(no authorization: acces failed because of serverconfiguration)=(my translation)

Technische informatie (voor ondersteuningsmedewerkers)

• Achtergrondinformatie:

Deze fout wordt meestal veroorzaakt doordat een script op de server niet het juiste koptekstveld voor WWW-verificatie verzendt.
Bij scripts van Active Server Pages gebeurt dit door middel van de methode AddHeader van het Antwoordobject, waarmee de client wordt verzocht een bepaalde verificatiemethode te gebruiken voor toegang tot de bron.

Then further a pop-up windows appears and ask for Authentication with username and password..!

But during installing as administrator Windows XP Pro I did not fill in a password at all...!
So I don't know how to Authenticate and with which password..!

I still hope you can tell me how to solve the problem!
Can I do something with or in Microsoft IIS, but I do not yet know wether this program exists on my system.

ab

it exists on ur system .......... .asp tells me this


you need to just disable iis.

goto control panel
goto add remove programs
goto add remove windows components

untick Internet Information Services (IIS)

then restary your pc

Steven,

Your last shot was the only and the best shot you could give. I am on localhost and the problem was indeed Microsoft IIS and has passed.
Many thanks for your help and now I try to go further with Wamp.

ab

no problem , your welcome
