localhost not working, WAMPserver


Recommended Posts

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.

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.

Make sure you also have this line in your hosts file.

127.0.0.1	localhost

Hi all,

        i have read what problem u all have faced. and i also have faced the problem many time but after that i have to reinstall the operating system. but few days ago i found what the crap was that. my wamp server always stop working whenever i installs Internet Download Manager. and last time when i  uninstall IDM wamp server start working again

so check those programs which are interacting with your browser.

 

thnx.

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.
