pixy Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 I install WAMP, but I can't access localhost without it asking me to connect to the internet! I can't have internet on that computer--so is there any way that I can get it working even though I can't go on the internet.

poirot Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 You don't need to be connected to access localhost.If you're using IE just click on "Connect" and it will work (usually), even though you're not connected.

But i'll try that out when my dad gets home and makes me an admin. Thanks for your reply!

zq29 Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Have you got your homepage set to an address that is not local? Maybe it is trying to load your homepage up when opening IE, thus requiring a connection?

Whenever I click the WAMP icon and click on localhost, it opens up the "internet connection wizard". I went in the www directory and tried to run a file, but it didn't convert it to PHP, so I'm guessing I have to access that through localhost.

So I click enter so it'll continue installation and it says theres an internal error and some file couldn't be found...?I dont have firewall on that computer, since it's not online, so it shouldn't be blocking that from being installed.
