falkencreative Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 I'm not sure if Firefox is hiding the "http://" portion of the URL, but usually the localhost URL is http://localhost, or occasionally with the port number after like this: http://localhost:80 Are you sure you are running WAMP, and that the server is on? The WAMP program needs to be running, and the server should be online. You should see the WAMP icon in the bottom right near the clock if you are running the program. By left clicking on it, you should manage settings and confirm whether the server is online or offline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

falkencreative Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 So if the server is running, can you left click on the WAMP icon and select "Localhost"? That should take you there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
