I am working on an old website (created in 2008) which is functional on its production site but has developed an issue on my localhost server. I can call up the localhost address of a page when the URL is entered directly into the browser address bar, but if I attempt to call it up through Dreamweaver, it attempts to render it using SSL, and the browser throws a cannot connect error. Something, somewhere, is forcing a SSL connection. Localhost is not set up for SSL nor do I want to do so.
I do my work in Adobe Dreamweaver v. 10.0, Build 4117, and a local server using WampServer. I recently installed a different version of WampServer after experiencing an anomaly in version 3.2.3 which made it inconvenient to use. This issue appeared after I uninstalled version 3.2.3 and installed version 3.0.6. I chose this WampServer version because the local setup needs php 5.6 to be compatible with the production site. I confirmed that all Visual C++ packages are installed correctly and feel reasonably comfortable that WampServer installed correctly. Prior to this problem, I used the WampServer/Dreamweaver combination for years without any serious issues.
WampServer’s localhost page is not accessible, but phpMyAdmin is functional. McAfee Antivirus is installed but has never been an issue. There is no third party firewall installed.
The website has several .htaccess file and I checked them and confirmed that they are not configured for secure connections. Adding the site to my virtual host settings did not resolve the problem, and relevant httpd.config ssl settings are commented out.
Where do we go from here?
Windows version: Windows 10 Pro x64,

In the MAMP menu bar>> Tools - I am seeing this:
phpMyAdmin(needs PHP5.5x to 7.0x)
SQLite Manager (needs PHP5.2.x or 5.3.x)
I have 8 sites on one shared database developed locally using MAMP. Never had a problem in the past. I cannot access any of the sites via localhost. - the last site I worked on required a newer version of PHP and I added V7.1.1 - the prior sites are run on earlier PHP versions, built full site using php 7.1.1 locally no problem. - That said, currently
none of the sites will open via localhost.
The only thing I can think of is that I may have upgraded to OS Sierra and maybe that threw off a file? I called Apple they recommend not touching the Apache settings. I reinstalled Mamp, no change.
OS Sierra 10.12.3
MAMP V.4.1.1
PHP V. 7.1.1
I can connect to the internet, and my firewall is off.
I checked my host file - everything is there that should be with the exception of : "sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder" which I read in an earlier thread - do I need this?
localhost connection message:
"Unable to connect
Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at localhost:8888."
I thought that by downloading the lastest version of MAMP I would be recieving the latest package of software such as apache,mysqyl and phpMyAdmin?
I humbly ask for any insight and thank you in advance!
I'm having this same issue and just found this on google:
After you run the servers on MAMP/MAMP PRO
TRY THIS:
localhost:8888/phpmyadmin

So, I want to run both server. Please Help me. Thanks in advance.
Do not install apache if you have already an IIS server.
You can install for IIS the php "plugin", it is described on the php.net and then you can install a standalone MySQL server you can find a "guide" here
I am trying to host a php website on windows server 2012 with IIS 8. I have installed php using the WPI and have followed the enitre installation process given at :http://www.rackspace.com/knowledge_center/article/installing-php-on-windows-server-2012
But even after succesfull installation when I am trying to run info.php the following error is shown:
Can anyone help me out with solving this error?
My first guess that you're missing to install "FastCGI module" or it is not activated in Handler Mappings for iis. That model is necessary for php.
Check this: http://www.iis.net/learn/application-frameworks/install-and-configure-php-applications-on-iis/using-fastcgi-to-host-php-applications-on-iis
Well, this guide using Windows Server 2008, but it's the same concept as Windows Server 2012.
After installing try to open Internet Explorer as administrator (if you're using other account instead of the administrator account)
I recently downloaded WAMP server to get started developing a website locally on my Windows 7 32 bit computer. It was working fine.
Not long after, I downloaded a few different OSGeo4W packages mainly to use QGIS and develop plugins. This is when I began having issues accessing the phpmyadmin local host (page not found error).
I tried uninstalling WAMP in order to re-install it, and now it seems to be taking a very long time to extract files, blocking on the apache 2.4.9 files. Does anyone have any idea if this may be because OSGeo4 installed another version of Apache on my computer? How can I solve this issue?
This is because apache is already running via OSGeo4W application. You can turn it off by launching OSGeo4W-Apache-Monitor and stopping the services. (start/all programs/Apache/OSGEO4W-Apache-Monitor.
Then restart wamp and it should work fine.
I have a server which already host ASP.Net website. I am migrating from blogger to WordPress. So I need to install WordPress on our server. Can we host WordPress on windows server??
Yes you can install Wordpress (or any other php application) on a windows server IF php is installed on the server. There are many tutorials on google on how to install and setup PHP on IIS (the Windows web server), but Microsoft actually provides an easy PHP install from their website : Install PHP on IIS from Windows Web App Gallery
Wordpress also needs MySQL to work, so that would have to be installed on the server as well.
Your main concern here I guess is whether you have access to the server to install PHP & MySQL:
If this server is provided by a hosting service, it might not support
PHP, in which case there's nothing you can do. You'll need to check with the provider whether they support it or not, and if they can install it.
If you have complete access to the server, you just need to install PHP and MySQL (a bit of configuration will probably be needed - lots of tutorials on google to help you there); then install Wordpress normally as you would on any other kind of server.
PS: if you install PHP yourself, you should make sure to check which version of IIS you are running (IIS6 on windows 2003? IIS7+ on windows 2008?). IIS6 requires some extra configuration to make everything work, as pointed out in the article linked by Marty in his comment.
When I first started using Wordpress I used a Windows Server (granted it was shared space by a service provider) and it ran poorly. I switched to a Linux hosting account and it ran much better. Just my two cents based on my experience.
