I am completely new to WAMP and I've been searching for a while, but could not find an answer.
I had IIS7 installed, but uninstalled it since I do not use it anymore. So I installed wampserver2.0.
Once installed, i installed the apache and mysql service. I made sure all services were ran and the icon was white.
I then type localhost on firefox and I got this:
You have chose to open ... which is a: application/x-httpd-php
from: [
localhost]
So I tried IE8, and something similar happens.
Do you want to save this file, or find a program online to open it?
Name: localhost
Type: Unknown File Type, 6.29KB
From: localhost
Weird thing was, yesterday, I uninstalled wampserver and reinstalled it. Then typed localhost and a default wamp page appears. Then the next day (computer was left on, on sleep mode I guess) i tried localhost, but that download curse popped up again. I don't know what to do now.
Some info on my system:
Running on vista64, service pack 2.
Host file only says (includes #....)
127.0.0.1 localhost
I tested port 80:
Your port 80 is actually used by :
Server: Apache/2.2.11 (Win32) PHP/5.3.0
I've tried suggestions to add stuff to the httpd.conf file but that didn't seem to work. Things I added were AddType info.
Please help, thanks.
