WAMP: Missing http://localhost/ in urls , wrong wamp projects links
You can update "urlAddLocalhost" variable in "wamp64/wampmanager.conf" file to on/off. By default it is "off".
My wamp version is 3.0.6.
urlAddLocalhost = "off"
After thorough research, I found out the solution which worked for me as well..
open wamp/www/index.php.
Change this line:
$suppress_localhost = true;
To :
$suppress_localhost = false;
For the latest versions on Wamp, the file has changed the code as follows:
$suppress_localhost = ($wampConf['urlAddLocalhost'] == 'off' ? true : false);
So it is now configurable from the Wamp Aestan Tray menu.
For Wampserver 3.0.6, I was able to do this by the following:
- Right click on wamp icon on tray on the right.
- Go to "wamp settings"
- Enable "Add localhost in URL"
If you see the green tick mark, it is enabled. Now refresh your localhost home page and check URLs.
Adding Localhost in url is not a suggested by wamp, wamp expect that each project contains a virtualhost.This provides a level of control for framework development. So for instance if your project is stackone, you need to create a virtual host for that called stackone:How to create a virtual host?
--Create a directory/folder in wamp64/www (example wamp64/www/projectone)
--Go to kickstart you wamp server and type localhost on your browser
--At the bottom left you should see add local virtual server. fill in the project name,(e.g projectone),fill in the path.(e.g c:\wamp64\www\projectone).click start creation.
--You will need to restart DNS. Right click on the notiication icon of wamp, hover on tools, you should see restart DNS. You can now copy your files to the directory you created. I added some images below (wamp 3.0.6)
