Hi all,

I have been using wamp server since last one and half year. Everything was working well, but suddenly something went wrong and (i didnt install any new software) wamp stopped working, i thought there may be some virus issue or application conflict but nothing found upon scanning. Since then i re-installed wamp 3 times but still getting same error. Error is : HTTP Error 404. The requested resource is not found.

I am very frustrated with this, please help.

May be your "hosts" file was modified or corrupted (antivirus, antispywares or even automatic updates of Windows can modify this file).
Check that you have this line enabled:
[text]127.0.0.1 localhost[/text]
This file is located at:
c:\windows\
or
c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\
(depending of your system)

I use Windows Vista and when I tried to install XAMPP I had to manually edit this file to make it work.
