WampServer

Hi,

My Wamp was working fine then I tried to get the new one-click Seaside to work and my ordinary http webpages stopped being served. I also found in the log somebody from Australia had been into my backup disk, so I firewalled that.

Wamp appeared in great shape with the tray icon always going all the way to the right with black. The localhost displayed one webpage. But nothing would display on the internet except the usual error message and I got no connection error either. I'm using Wamp on XP.

Thanks in advance for help.

Thanks but I still have the bug after trying your advice to reset my port 80 & firewall, and reprogram my vhosts file. I'm using a regular DNS and not a static one but I checked and it hasn't changed. It must be a persistant bug to use the default vhost spec on [localhost] but not on its own DNS. Here it is:

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName biblek12.com
ServerAlias biblek12.com *.biblek12.com
DocumentRoot "D:/www/biblek12"
ServerAdmin webmaster@biblek12.com
</VirtualHost>

Thank you for your help.

if not firewall/antivirus, you have to check port forward and dns to make sure it's correct

What else could it be? Is there anything in WinXP itself which could allow answering localhost correctly but prevent [biblek12.com] from working using the very same vhost command block?

Assuming Wamp software itself is working correctly
and the DNS is still correctly pointing [biblek12.com] to IP 75.139.214.136
and there is no anti-virus program according to Windows
and the firewall settings seem correct per your instructions
is there anything else to try?

Thanks for your help.

Is there any debug technique to trace the actions of a browser when attempting to connect to a server?

If I want to be sure [example.com] is pointed to my Wamp, how can I get a log on it?

When I used [localhost] it returned default page and Wamp logged two lines:
127.0.0.1 - - [01/Feb/2010:18:13:38 -0800] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 304 -
127.0.0.1 - - [01/Feb/2010:18:13:38 -0800] "GET /gray.bmp HTTP/1.1" 304 -

When I used the [example.com] it returned and logged nothing.

I also tried to ping 75.139.214.136 but it always says request timed out.

Are there any other ways to test what's going on?

The above IP is shown by Gmail so it's working for that software. Why not for Wamp?

Thanks for the help.
