9homie Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Hello. I am using http://localhost/ But when I go on it, it works and then when I type in my file name after it, then it comes up with Internet Explorer can not find this website. I don't know what to do, do any of you know? Thank You in advance 9homie Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/117034-localhost-not-working-wampserver/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zane Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 when you say just localhost works I'm assuming you mean it's loading your index.php page correct? if so, then the only solution I can think of so far is that you are mispelling your "file name". The other problem could be with your Apache configuration. But to get on that subject you have to answer this...did you mess with your http.conf file at all? and I'm just asking a straight up yes or no.

9homie Posted July 29, 2008 Author Share Posted July 29, 2008 No. I don't know what to do with it if I have to do something with it. What do I do?

Mchl Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 I have a similar problem. Out of sudden localhost ceased to work (used to work with no problems). Luckily http://127.0.0.1 takes me right to WAMP homepage.

Mchl Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 I do. And I've already solved the problem by editing c:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts file. There was a line ::1 localhost Which shouldn't be there apparently. Don't know how it got there, but removing it restores localost functionality.

lplatz Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I just installed Wamp Server 2.2a. Localhost will not work in the browser address field to get me to the wampserver index page. 127.0.0.1 works fine. I checked the host file and it's contains "127.0.0.1 localhost" (w/o the quotes). Any ideas why localhost will not work. Installed on a Vista OS.
