Ridiculously easy to install (less than five minutes - too easy?), but then I hit a problem browsing to http://localhost/ where I should have been able to see the lovely index page. What did I see? Nothing! A little fiddling and I established that I could get something to happen (a 404) if I used my IP address instead of localhost, but then I gave up in frustration. Tonight, I came back to it and then managed to solve the problem in less than five minutes with the help of XAMPP's FAQs. Web servers on development machines do not co-exist happily with Skype, as I discovered, because Skype can also use port 80. Simple fix though. There's an option in Skype (Tools>Options>Connection) that says "use port 80 and 443 as alternatives for incoming connections". Uncheck the box and restart Skype, and WAMP works fine on port 80. Success! Result - happy Wombly! _____________________________ ~~ "A cruel god ain't no god at all" ~~ ~~ Erase hate. Practice love. ~~
