Title: WordPress dashboard from WAMPserver Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # WordPress dashboard from WAMPserver * [binnyoinam](https://wordpress.org/support/users/binnyoinam/) * (@binnyoinam) * [13 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-dashboard-from-wampserver/) * Hi, I installed wampserver succesfully on my 64 bit Windows 7 and installed wordpress on it too. Everything went off smoothly and I was able create a local site with it. But the problem came when I used WAMP the next time. I was able to visit the local site through localhost but I am unable to access the wordpress dashboard. Am I doing something wrong? Or how do I access the wordpress dashboard so that I can tweak the theme?

Some possible scenarios might be: - You can’t get to /wp-admin using //localhost/wp-admin, or //localhost/login, or //localhost/wp-login.php - You can reach the login page, but you get some type of error messsage. ie.. wrong password, username doesn’t exist. etc… - You can access the login page, but you get an error message or a just a blank page after loging in. * Share a little detail about what is, or isn’t happening. That might be helpful in determining what the problem might be. * Thread Starter [binnyoinam](https://wordpress.org/support/users/binnyoinam/) * (@binnyoinam) * [13 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-dashboard-from-wampserver/#post-3063875) * Thanks ClaytonJames for making it clear. I don’t get any error message as such. I doubt I am accessing WAMP in a wrong way. Well, when I start the wampserver, I get an icon on the notification bar which turns red to orange and finally to green. I access it by clicking the icon and then local host on the topmost which lands me on the wampserver homepage.On the page under “Your Projects”, I have“ Project1” which I have created. Clicking upon Project1 leads me to a page which lists two directories: the first one says Parent directory and the other wordpress. Further, clicking on wordpress takes me directly to the local site I have created without giving me the trouble to log in through the wordpress dashboard. This is the problem I am facing now since I want to test and tweak the theme I installed.

I suspect you have some sort of issue with the sub-directories. There also really isn’t any need to install wordpress two sub-directories deep in WAMP. * You might try installing wordpress at /www/wordpress. Then your path to wp-admin will simply be //localhost/wordpress/wp-admin * Thread Starter [binnyoinam](https://wordpress.org/support/users/binnyoinam/) * (@binnyoinam) * [13 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-dashboard-from-wampserver/#post-3063879) * Thanks a lot Clayton, I’ll do as you suggest.
