Localhost stopped pointing to \wamp\www

by JoeFW Feb 17, 2011 12:57AM PST

I have been using wampserver 2.1 for about a week. I moved my client website files under \wamp\www\ and was successfully testing PHP/MySQL based sites until today. (I didn't use it at all yesterday, but it was fine 2 days ago.) Now localhost is pointing at \inetpub\wwwroot\ (IIS) and my testing environment is unworkable. I have no idea how this change occurred or what to do to reestablish the pointer to wamp.

Wampserver 2.1 32-bit (need it for MySQL 5.5.

What does httpd.cof tell WAMP to use?

Where is httpd.cof ?

I searched, but I haven't found a file by that name. Where should it be located?

That was half question, half test.

I wanted to see if you were looking at WAMP's configuration file. If you Left-click WAMP icon and select Config files ? httpd.conf. The file will probably open up in Notepad.

Don't feel bad. Many folk are new to this.

Go find your WAMP configuration file and share.

Sorry, didn't realize that was a typo... The Document Root is /wamp/www.

The problem appears to be connected to OutSystems's Agile Network, which I installed 2 days ago. I removed the programs but the problem persists. I did find a file in \Windows\System32\inetsrv called applicationHost.config which pointed to \inetpub\wwwroot. Changing that reference allows viewing html pages, but IIS is still in control and won't serve php pages. I'm trying to avoid a system restore, but am beginning to think that's my only real option.
