Help with installing local site with EasyPHP

I have downloaded and installed EasyPHP as suggested on one of the Forum pages. I am following the instructions about installinfg and have done the following as suggested by their site.:

Wrangle Windows 7
Windows 7 does not handle localhost in the same way as older versions. Previously, Windows stored a localhost line in the machine’s hosts file by default but this is no longer the case. You need to modify the hosts file manually.

Navigate to the hosts file in C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc and open it in a plain text editor (eg NotePad). Just after the initial comments, you should see the line:

# 127.0.0.1 localhost
Remove the hash sign (#) from the start of the line and save the file.

Configure Apache
You need to make 2 changes within Apache if you want to use custom permalinks:

Activate the rewrite module
Give permission for WordPress to rewrite
To activate the rewrite module, you need to edit your Apache configuration file — called httpd.conf — within the conf_files sub-folder of your EasyPhp folder. Right-click on the EasyPHP icon, select Configuration → Apache. This will launch the httpd.conf file in NotePad.

Find the line that reads:

# LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
And remove the hash sign (#) from the start of the line, so that it reads:

LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
You then need to make a permissions change in the same file. Find the line that reads:

<Directory “${path}/www”>
A few lines further down should be:

AllowOverride None
Change this to:

AllowOverride All
Save your httpd.conf file, then restart the Apache server by double- clicking the EasyPHP icon in task bar. In the popup dialogue, click the Apache button and select Stop. Wait for the bottom red light to show, then click the Apache button again and select Start. You can then minimise the dialogue box.

Create your WordPress Database and User
Start EasyPHP.
Once it has started, right click, chose Configuration and click PhpMyAdmin.

However when I click PhpMyAdmin I get a browser window that says this:

Object not found!

The requested URL was not found on this server. If you entered the URL manually please check your spelling and try again.

If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.

Error 404

127.0.0.1
Apache/2.4.7 (Win32) PHP/5.4.24

I’m sure I followed the steps correctly. Can anyone suggest why this doesn’t work?
Many thanks.

PS I am a complete novice with Php and MySql so please be gentle 🙂
