Please take a look at my free video on "how to install Joomla" using WAMP.
Using WAMP is a great way to start your project, before moving it to a live server

Hi Norm,

I followed your video to install wamp2 and the icon in the bottom tray says wamp2 is online. I have tried to open localhost by clicking on the wamp2 icon and selecting localhost (top item on menu from the icon try). Another tab opens in firefox looking for www.localhost.com/ and a message saying "Problem Loading Page"

I have turned off Skype, just in case, no luck. I am running windows 7

In looking at your video on installing the wamp2 server I see that your browser shows localhost whereas mine is showing www.localhost.com/ I am not sure where the problem could be. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards
Kerry

Hi Norm,

An update. Tried typing into the address bar 127.0.0.1 and the wampserver homepage appeared, however when I type in localhost I still get www.localhost.com

I also went to "c" drive and opened the wamp folder and in the folder www I added another folder called "test" where I extracted the latest version of joomla v 1.5.23

While firefox was showing the wamp homepage there was the new folder called test. I clicked on it and the installation for joomla started. Could not get past the Database Configuration page, kept getting an error saying "Unable to connect to the database:Could not connect to MySQL"
