Hey guys.
I recently (about 10 mintues ago), just tried to start WAMP, and then went to my http://localhost/test.php, but the page was blank. I then tried every other page I had; blank. I tried reinstalling WAMP, and it still was blank. I restarted my computer, what did I find? Blankness. I don't know what's happening, does anyone have a way to fix this. I don't think you guys are gonna need my code because all of my other pages were blank so it's probably a problem with my program, but:


<?php
echo "I hope I can see this text.";
?>


My meter is set to 3 quarters yellow. Even when I set it to STOP, I see a blank page instead of a page not found.

Has this happen to anyone else, do you have a solution?

Thanks,
Nile

Before you get too excited, try select all. If there is any text on the page, even if it is white text on a white background, by selecting all, you will see it. If the text appears, it is simply a problem with the style.

Well, that's all I've got. Both were worth a shot. I'd try a WAMP forum though you might get lucky here if someone just happens to be using WAMP and has ever run into that. Just out of curiosity, and because it will probably help anyone who comes later in this thread who may know more:

What OS?

Was WAMP ever working on that computer?

If so, did you change anything (in WAMP or anywhere on the computer - new programs, program upgrades, settings tweaks, etc.) between the last time it was working and now?

I'm using Windows Vista Home Prenium(if your wondering about the screen shot, I've downloaded a Royale theme).

I've recently (within the day, I've had a busy day) installed:

Pidgin - Then uninstalled
Wamp - Wasn't working
iTunes
Windows Updates - by itself
Quick Time - installed with iTunes


Past week:

All of the above
Localhostr uploadr
OpenOffice


It has worked on my computer before, I did not change any settings.

try to install apache.
wait for their icon to come up;
because it has all of the servers available.
and just start it through that
that's what I do

I've tried 127.0.0.1 already.
But your second ideas worked!
THANKS!

Finished through gmail chat, but here is the full (short) solution:
From http://forums.iis.net/p/1150139/1875774.aspx

Start>run>services.msc, scroll down to World Wide Publishing service, and disable/stop it there.

Same steps to restart it.
