I installed Wamp today without a problem. When i ran it I set up phpmyadmin without a problem. when i click localhost I got a web browser stating IT WORKS!. I placed my files in c:\WAMP\WWW and still all i get is 'IT WORKS', i tried reinstalling over the top and now when i go to [localhost] it redirects to [www.localhost.com] and phpmyadmin now takes me to [www.localhost.com].

I had tried editing httpd.conf and it just threw up errors so I had to reinstall again. still having the same problem.

any help?

When seeing IT WORKS! most likely you have IIS running

Make sure no other program conflict Wamp such as IIS, Microsoft Web Deploy, Web Deployment Agent Service, 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
