I am new to Wamp Server and am getting the infamous
'Unable to Connect, Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost' error message in Firefox.
I have windows XP SP3, 2 Gig Ram, Firefox 3.5, and no other servers to my knowledge.
I have Adobe CS4, and an online tutorial directed me to install Wamp Server so I could view my webpage locally.
I have
a yellow Wamp Server icon;
disabled iis;
listened to port 80 and found nothing using it;
checked the hosts file to make sure "127.0.0.1 localhost" appears and nothing else;
tried "[
127.0.0.1]; as well as "[
127.0.0.1];
disabled my firewall and anti virus (both iolo), reinstalled Wamp Server and specifically given Wamp Server full explicit permissions to access the internet (should that matter for the localhost).
I think that's everything I could find on the forum concerning the above error.
Any ideas are appreciated.
Thanks,
-Dave
