im trying to learn php and i downloaded the wamp server, installed it and such. but when i tried to put it online it wouldnt do so. ive tried to change the port skype is on/ or uses (still didnt work) tested port 80, said i didnt actually use port 80. im not sure what else to do if any one can help me to fix this that would be great

I think port 80 is a default closed port for some modems and routers, you need to go to the router (type in your IP) if a router/modem page pops up then you need to do some configuring and you will NOT be able to access your site from your home network. I have never actually gotten this to work on my modem from quest but you may also want to try localhost. If your site appears it's a network error and not your computer (however since it's a windows computer it might some glitch). If it still doesn't work you need to edit httpd.conf and change the port to another port (reminder when changing ports the url changes to url:port ex port 8080 becomes localhost:8080. If it works then you may need to try port 80 from a computer not attached to your network (that is if you have a router).

If you still can't get it to work please post if you have a router or modem and what type of firmware it uses. This will allow people to help you better.

Thanks,

im not on any router, sorry im not really good with comps ive been using one for only 7-8 months so im still learning but im into programing and games.
i have dsl and a motorola modem
i did get it to go online, but none of the default pages work in my browser like phpMyAdmin ect.. in internet explorer the page cant be found and in firefox 3 its just blank

It's usually a problem that something is blocking the way to you, try using a different port for testing purposes or something like that, but usually it should work.

I might be late with this reply, but here is a link to an article I wrote over at the Trap17 for a similar issue with localhost and Skype Port conflicts.

WampServer problems???...

This software named WampServer install a complete Windows Webserver in your local computer. By Default the WampServer comes with an awful configuration.

I recommend you that you open an free account in and Free Web Hosting, preferibly http:www.0fees.net once you are in your Cpanel you have to click on "PHP Info" where all the 0fees.net paramethers are shown.

Start your Wampserver...Click the Wamp server icon closer than watch and click on "PHP" here you have to change the Wampserver´s configuration and put it exactly than 0fees.net configuration.

Once you have made this, prove your scripts again...And you will tell me...

Bye and Good Luck.
