WampServer

Sometime last year, I installed the wamp stack on a local server. Everything has been running smoothly. I have phpmyadmin and a local web site running off of it with no problems. I want to try playing around with building a dynamic web site, so I'm trying to run a tutorial from a book which will help me learn how a mysql database can connect to a web page using Dreamweaver.

I have downloaded the tutorial file folder and placed it on the root folder of the web server. (This is where my local web site's home page loads from with no problems.) That file folder, entitled "cosmo_shop", has an index.php within it. In the book, it says if type [10.100.136.26] in the web browser that the index page should open up (subbed in my server for localhost). Makes sense, but I get the below error message instead. Does anyone have clues as to why my other site works just fine, but the index file of this tutorial won't load?

Thanks!

That should read: http:// 10.100.136.26/cosmo_shop/ <-- what I type in the browser
