| | Localhost not working Hi lads, New here. The name is Dave. I'm hoping someone can help me out. When I try to view http://localhost , i get nothing . Page not found. I have WAMP server installed. I just can't seem to figure out whats wrong. I've restarted all the services in WAMP and everything but still, nothing. Need this working soon for college assignments. All help greatly appreciated. Thanks, Dave |

| | Hi mate, "Windows cant find..... check the spelling and try again" is what comes up. What does that tell us ? Any more ideas ? Thanks again, Dave |

| | Hi Dave, welcome to Seven Forums. "localhost" is the name of your machine. It is 127.0.0.1, and is a loopback. I think you may have the wrong name for WAMP. You need to check the documentation for the Apache server to ensure you have set it up right. |

| | Hi Schaft. I used WAMP on an XP machine only this week, so i am sure that I am trying to access it the right way. Also, I already tried 127.0.0.1 and I got the same error. Thanks, Dave |

| | "hosts" is a text file, so you should be able to open it with notepad. |

Any ideas how to sort that one out ? Thanks, Dave |

| | This is getting out of my area of expertise, but maybe some of the stuff at Apache Geronimo v1.1 Documentation : D. Configurando Hosts Virtuales en Geronimo-Tomcat will help. It's been a long time since I set up an Apache server, but basically you need to tell it what the mapping is from an IP to a host, and that's what the "hosts" file (no extension - a Unix thing) does. Think of it as a local DNS. |
