Hi,

I have installed wamp5 on my laptop so I can develop php pages with mysql.
I have started the wamp5 which give you a semi circle and three quarters of the icon is shaded yellow - this is supposed to mean that apache is running. I then type in http://localhost in the address bar and I get the "page cannot be displayed" error.

This is weird because wamp says apache is running ok!

Is there any other setting that may affect the connection?

If this is any help, I also have a sneaky suspicion that because I have visual studio.net installed on my laptop there may be a conflict with IIS? I have not developed any sites with visual studio yet but could there be a conflict here? Thing is, I am not sure what to look for or change?

regards

Hi,

You may like to have a look at what services are running on your computer.

Open Control Pannel > Administrative tools > Services

If IIS is running try stopping it and then restart wamp5. Then have another go at opening http://localhost
