Not sure where to ask this question, so l'll start here.....

Ok i have the site setup on dreamweavers site manager and wampserver is saying 'Site Online' despite showing a slight yellow bit.........and yet when l go to view the site in explorer or 'Live View' it keeps showing a simple google search page, wheres my website gone!!!

This was working this morning, any thoughts anyone?

Ok l read somewhere about changing the httpd.conf file to listen to port 8080 instead of 80.
I ammended this and the php server is now online, but when i want to view any page even the index page in the www directory, l keep being posted to a Google page :-(

Ok i have now got wampserver 2 working, Apache2 and MySQL services appear to be online...
when l click 'localhost' on the wampserver it shows me a list of the website files which it didn't earlier :-)

If l click on the default 'index.php' i get the following error...........

Error Summary
HTTP Error 404.3 - Not Found
The page you are requesting cannot be served because of the extension configuration. If the page is a script, add a handler. If the file should be downloaded, add a MIME map.


but if l browse the same file within Dreamweaver either on 'Live View' or 'IE' l get google page!! :-(

I seem to have messed with many things that i'm starting to get confused!!!

HELP!!!

Make sure your settings are set to "http://localhost", and not "localhost". Try just using a normal HTML page for your index.html, and test that.

You're running Apache (XAMPP) and IIS? In other words, you're running two Web servers at the same time?
