Creating a new PHP project with WAMP 2.5

I have a directory containing a basic PHP website like so:

I want to use WAMP to run this locally for development purposes. I thought this would be easy, but if I put my website folder in WAMP's "www" directory and click on it in WAMP's "My Projects" section, Firefox gives me a "Server not found" error.

After doing some reading I discovered that apparently a better way to do this these days is using Virtual Hosts, but I was unable to find any clear, official instructions on how to set this up, and the guide I found were either outdated or hugely complicated. Nonetheless I gave it a shot, but I didn't have a clue what I was doing, didn't manage to get it working, and reverted all my changes.

Can anyone offer me a solution, or direct me to some clear instructions? (Thanks.)

I also face this problem and that is solved by doing following steps... 1> open your www folder which is inside wamp folder. 2> open index.php file from that folder 3> At line no 30 change $suppress_localhost = true; to $suppress_localhost = false; 4> Refresh page of localhost and now open project. DONE.
