Why won't my Wampserver 2 go to the localhost?

Question

When I type www.localhost.com into my browser, then all it does is say "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage". I've tried reinstalling Wampserver 2, but it does the same thing. When I make a .php webpage, then it doesn't recognize it as php. It takes it as html and just displays all my php coding on the screen. How do I connect my browser to Wampserver 2?

Answer 1

well, you shouldn't be typing "www.localhost.com" (you're not using a top level domain[com], or a subdomain[www]). It's probably supposed to be just "localhost". However, the way to get it for sure is just to use the loopback IP address, which is 127.0.0.1



This address will point to the local machine on *any* system. So try just typing that IP address into your browser and see if it works.

Answer 2

Use the administration programm and start up. making use of the administration panel, look into each and every of the amenities that are working or would desire to be working. the help-midsection can handbook you to this section. in case you do not see amenities that appear as if mysql and such in that checklist; the installation grew to become into not succesfull or achieved as would desire to be. you would be able to would desire to locate interior the installation itemizing data that have 'start up.bat' or comparable and 'administration.exe' or comparable.

Answer 3

http://localhost/ will take you to your index page. From here you can find your project folders. You can also go to wampserver (in the system tray) and select Localhost.. this will take you to the same place.

Answer 4

first off, dont type in www. type in localhost, that's it. Second off, make sure that you turn your server "on". There is an option that says "Start all services" and that has to be on.
