Could you try the following on both browsers:
http://localhost/
http://localhost/index.html
http://localhost/wordpress/readme.html
http://localhost/wordpress/
Please report the results.
I tried all of the above and none of them work on firefox still. I even typed in the “http://”. Anymore ideas?
it’s still not working…..I checked again to see if it worked on internet explorer and it didn’t work somehow…….I didn’t know what to do so I reopened and asked me to redownload my wamp (i guess that’s the only way to get into it), went into the phpmyadmin and under my database name file, everything was gone….what’s going on with my system?
i just want to make a website offline so i don’t have to have for the hosting just yet…..is the problem wamp? is there other good programs besides wamp?
Any good programs besides wamp?
Yes, mine is called LINUX.
It is free as in “free beer”, the online support is free and vibrant.
If you want a computer that “just” works use windows, if you want a computer that just “works” use Linux.
Yes, try the 127.0.0.1 addresses too.
Am I to take it that Internet Explorer shows all 4 of the URLs above are displayed correctly ?
What I am thinking is that something is very wrong with the server install. Or that there is a setting in firefox that is blocking the site. I am certain that this is not a WordPress issue.
Please research your webserver’s documentation and find where it keeps its logs, this will show every request the web server receives. Look there and see the requests made by Internet Explorer, then look for the requests made by firefox, are they there, what happens ?
I tried typing all the url above but it keepss displaying a page that requires me to type in the site name and email as if I was to download wordpress again (like it shows the very last page of installation of wordpress onto wamp before logging into the admin site if you remember that exact page I was talking about), after I did that it’ll say there’s a wordpress database error and that nothing exist it even I do when I created it before. Also, when I typed in
http://localhost/
http://localhost/index.html
http://localhost/wordpress/readme.html
http://localhost/wordpress/
It changes to www. instead of hppt://, does thaat make a difference for the computer?
and RossMitchell, this might be a stupid question since I’m not a computer person, but how to you find the webserver’s documentation and logs?
Oh and it’s the firefox that changes to www. from hppt://
sorry, not internet explorer
I googled wamp apache log file location
At this entry:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19713001/where-can-i-find-the-wamp-error-log
It said:
Apache in WAMPServer writes errors to the
C:\wamp\logs folder as does MYSQL and PHP
If it finds errors before it can open its error.log
it will write errors to the Windows Event Log as well.
And suggested:
Try opening a command window and
>CD c:\wamp\bin\apache\apachex.y.z\bin
Then run
httpd -t
That should check the config and return you any
errors to the command window.
