WampServer

well, i seem to have two apache's loaded onto my pc xp pro. one in program files and one in wamp. the path from httpd.conf points to wamp. so do i uninstall prgm file Apache?
also i have added include vhosts to httpd.conf and have added virtualhost directives to vhosts. is that correct?
i can't get Apache to start when i load wamp server. could any of the above be the issue.
can u tell i'm a newbie to Apache and coding? if some one can help me out it would be great.

change the settings from the vhost config in the wamp folder C:/wamp/bin/apache then restart apache

not clear to me what u mean.sorry perhaps i'm dense.

by default, apache will look for original httpd.conf and the one come w/ wamp won't work so you have to uninstall old apache then restart wamp

thank you all. i'll try it.

did what u said but no go ..Apache won't load.
here's my httpd.conf file as is for one site. my main site folder is in the root of wamp c://wamp/ec and then there is a subdirectory test where my files are: a couple of php files.

#tells Apache to identify which site by name
NameVirualHost *:80
#Tells Apache to serve the dfault WAMP server page to localhost
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1>
ServerName localhost
#root folder all folders and files are under here
DocumentRoot "C:/wamp"
</VirtaulHost>
#Tells Apache to serve ec pages to "ec.localhost"
#Duplicate and modify this block to another client
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1>
#the name to respond to
ServerName ec.localhost
#folder where the files live
DocumentRoot "C:/wamp/ec/test">
#a few helpful setting ...
<Directory "C:/wamp/ec/test">
allow from all
order allow,deny
#Enables .htaccess fores for this site
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
#Apache will look for these two files, in this order: index.htm, index.php
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
</VirtaulHost>
can't figure out my mistake. if u can still help thank you and thank you so far.

in that case, uninstall current wamp, remove wamp folder, restart pc, reinstall wamp; but before remove wamp, make sure to backup everything you need, check this for idea

good. i uninstalled wamp and reinstalled wamp .. apache loads. tried to follow tutorial but got very confused as i'm just running virtualhost without domain names. i have as i've stated wamp/www/ec/test then my index.php file is in test. but after configuring vhosts.conf Apache 2.2.11 won't load. before i configured vhost.conf and i clicked on localhost from wamp menu i got wamp server ..projects etc. now nothing if i type [ec.localhost] can't connect.
here's my vhosts.conf file

<VirtaulHost *:80>
ServerName localhost
DocumentRoot C:/wamp/www/ec.test.localhost
ErrorLog C:/wamp/www/ec.localhost/logs/error.log
CustomLog C:/wamp/www/ec.localhost/logs/access.log
</VirtualHost>
i also closed zone alarm and super anti spyware.
can u help?
thanks

just replace real domain w/ local domain then follow the rest; for example

NameVirtualHost *:80

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName domain
DocumentRoot C:/wamp/www/domain
ErrorLog C:/wamp/www/domain/logs/error.log
CustomLog C:/wamp/www/domain/logs/access.log common
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName localhost
DocumentRoot C:/wamp/www
</VirtualHost>

so i changed the vhosts.conf file and still no apache loaded when i restart services:

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName localhost
DocumentRoot C:/wamp/www/ec/test
ErrorLog C:/wamp/www/ec/logs/error.log
CustomLog C:/wamp/www/ec/logs/access.log
</VirtualHost>

not sure or just plain stupid but i can't figure this out?? where am i going wrong?
is there an error record somewhere within apache or wamp? to help me out. but i guess if apache isn't loading there won't be an error record?

can i have the sub folder test under www/ec?

in explore in ww/ec my index.php has a dreamweaver icon. would that matter?

Are you sure you don't forget something ?

CustomLog C:/wamp/www/domain/logs/access.log common

This may cause a problem..

File icon or association doesn't matter.

i have one other folder in www. ec_remote which is set in dreamweaver for remote site. i have the eric site set up in drmwvr and ec is the local site and ec_re_remote is set as remote and testing site so should i change path to www/ec_remote/test?

check error log, not access log
