localhost doesn't work

Question

I'm trying to solve out my problem since more than a week, but with no results until now. When I try to open localhost/phpmyadmin, or any php file, I get on this message:

Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage ".

The same happens with Mozilla; no errors, but the page keeps loading without answer.

My configuration

Windows 7 32bit
Wampserver 2.2D ( all services are running ) green status,  server online

My hosts file

127.0.0.1 localhost
::1 localhost

IIS is stopped, but I don't think it's a problem with port 80.

I tried going directly to 127.0.0.1, it didn't work.

I will appreciate any advice.

Thanks

Answer 1

You may want to check your firewall authorizations...

I had same problem; I have since added wampserver as authorized program to my firewall and, as above, stopped IIS services in control panel/admistrative tools.

Answer 2

Ok so if you have IIS on, stop it.

Go to cpanel and search administrative tools, component services, services (local), and scroll to the w's to find and stop:

World wide web publishing service

and

Web deployment agent service (something like that)

Good luck.

Answer 3

I had similar problem, a lot of research and analysis but nothing helped. Finally I came across UwAmp which works like a charm for me ever since then. Try it out:

It also supports multiple versions of PHP which you can switch by single click anytime you want.
