This is for a friend of mine. When he installed WAMP server, it installed perfectly. And then when he goes to http://localhost there is only 1 message that is displayed in the browser which is

It Works!

It does not display the WAMP homepage at all ! He has also reintalled WAMP server like a bazillion times, but with no success, it always gives him that It works! message. Has anybody else here encountered the same situation? And it is not the Port 80 problem, i checked. Please reply soon as he is not able to do his project at home because of this.

    dude, that is the wamp home page – Joel Coel Feb 17 '10 at 04:12
  • No. He's not able to navigate to any of his projects @.@ Its a plain blank page with "It works!" written in it :( –  Feb 17 '10 at 16:56
  • @Skun, I think you/your friend needs some more education about how a web server works. What you are seeing is the default page. If you want links to the projects, you need to add them yourself! Maybe you're thinking of "Directory Browsing", where if the web server does not find any content to serve, they will show you all the files in the folder? – Mark Henderson Feb 18 '10 at 00:42
  • If you want directory browsing, delete the index.htm file from the htdocs folder. You might also need to enable directory browsing in your httpd.conf file if you just get a 404 error after deleting the file. – Mark Henderson Feb 18 '10 at 00:43

Sounds to me like it works.

That is Apache's default message after a successful install. It is usually a single HTML file in the htdocs folder.

What are you expecting to see?

So far, I don't see this as a problem.
