Video #1 Error

[DorianC]

I posted this in the Video 1 thread, but i hardly got any help so i figured i'd post it in the questions forum
Well my error is whenever i type in localhost on Mozilla FireFox and press ENTER it takes me to a blank page, it also does the same when i manually click on localhost on the WAMP server icon on my desktop.
on Internet Explorer it says "HTTP 404 ERROR Page Not Found". I also tried typing in 127.0.0.1 like hallsofvalhalla told me but that also did not work )=
so can anyone help please?

btw the videos are great

i answered there but try the wamp pages for a fix.

also try this, make a new page in your www folder and call it test.html
type in

Code: Select all

This page works

and save it.

in firefox navigate to
http://localhost/test.html
and tell me what you see.

[DorianC]

it only displays a blank screen.

[hallsofvallhalla]

you have a wamp setup issue. Might want to check out the wamp forums.

Are you using vista? cause i had problems with an apache 2 server on my laptop. Something to do with setting admin privileges and turning off the UAC.

[hallsofvallhalla]

interesting, maybe run wamp as admin and in compatibility mode?

[rockinliam]

But i think if it is a server problem then just goto the appropriate forum or FAQ. I use apache2triad and there forum fixed my problem.

[DorianC]

Oh, i forgot to post that i got it up and running.

[hallsofvallhalla]

please let us know how you fixed it so others may learn

check to see if you have this line in your hosts file (C:/Windows/system32/drivers/etc)
127.0.0.1 localhost
in the host file open it(with NotePad or whatever) and make sure you have :
127.0.0.1 localhost
(You most likely do have it in there)
then erase everything else in that file(do not erase 127.0.0.1 localhost), and save the file.

for more advise look at the thread i posted:
