WampServer

I installed wamp server on my desktop to be able to test and learn CMS programs. One I'm doing in particular is WordPress because I'm looking at transferring an old html site to a WordPress site. One of the first problems I'm unable to solve is that when I click on the homepage on the newly created site on localhost, it keeps going to [localhost] and displays the text "It Works". Where do I go to change this so that it goes to the homepage of the site in question ?

Wamp is great ! Although I haven't yet come to understand all its capacity. Keep up the good work!

Make sure no other program conflict Wamp such as IIS, Microsoft Web Deploy, SQL, Skype, Zonealarm, firewall/antivirus, NOD32, Eset, any web related program including Remote Desktop, Teamviewer or Apache, MySQL, PHP outside wamp folder (ie. in Program Files or System32 folder) ...

IIS and Apache/Wamp are both web server and might conflict in some way, so you have to disable IIS in order for Wamp to work

Disable IIS in Vista/W7:

Control Panel, Uninstall Programs, Turn Widows Features On or Off, uncheck Internet Information Services

Disable IIS in XP:

Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs, Add/Remove Windows Components, uncheck Internet Information Services (IIS)

Restart computer, then restart Wamp

Also, in folder C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers\etc, open file hosts and delete anything in this file and have only this line below and nothing else

127.0.0.1 localhost

If using Skype, open Skype > Tools > Options > Advanced > Connection then uncheck "use port 80..." restart Wamp then Skype
