[SOLVED] Sudden Wamp Server Problem


kickstart

Recommended Posts

Hi

 

Using my Vista laptop this evening it was working fine. Did a minor change to script and suddenly Firefox claims not to be able to find the page. Rebooted the machine and no change. Try Opera and IE and they cannot find it either.

 

Playing around if I go to IP address 127.0.0.1 in a browser I get a WAMP screen with the various projects in it. I can go into them from there. However if I try localhost it goes off looking for www.localhost.com and fails.

 

If I ping 127.0.0.1 it gets a reply from 127.0.0.1. If I ping localhost it looks for "::1".

 

What have I done wrong! ???

 

All the best

I experienced this once as well. Something modified my hosts file on Vista and added

127.0.0.1 ::1

 

no idea how it happened.

 

You need to have administrative privileges to edit hosts file.
