I want to host my site in windows server 2012 using WAMP.
I was able to install the WAMP server on windows servers. So far I am able to use the localhost to display the WAMP server configuration page on the local server machine, but am not able to display my site on the local machine.
The files for my personal site are located in the www folder of the WAMP server.
Any suggestions for me?

I have installed xampp on Windows7(64bit).I want to work with PHP, Apache and MySql. The server Apache and the MySql services are running properly on the Xampp control panel. But when I run the localhost on my web browser it just shows object not found. what should i do
I am running XAMPP and trying to test my PHP but cant get my localhost to connect. I have tried directing it to different ports and nothing has improved, i have tried kill httpd and stop the apache control and restarted XAMPP, still no joy. Any advice?
You probably installed the virtual machine version of XAMPP (e.g. xampp-osx-7.4.4.0-vm.dmg). It does not run natively on your machine, but inside a box and with its own local network IP address. It cannot be reached via localhost or 127.0.0.1 by default, because they only refer to the host system. The guest system should be seen like another machine in the LAN.
You can find the IP address of the guest system in the General tab of the XAMPP app. In my case it is 192.168.64.2. If I enter that in a browser then I get redirected to the XAMPP dashboard (Welcome to XAMPP for 7.4.4-0).
You may enable port forwarding in the Network tab of the XAMPP app. Select localhost:8080 -> 80 (Over SSH) and click the Enable button. You should then be able to reach the XAMPP dashboard via localhost:8080.
I have a windows 2012 server that has been created for me. I am using a Mac and using Microsoft Remote Desktop to connect to the server. When I am using my Mac, I plug in the address of my server and code file (my_server/path_of_file) so I can run it but every time I get an error, usually either Server error 404 or Server error 500. How can I fix this so that I can browse files on my server from my Mac?
I have installed xampp on my local machine as well as Windows Server 2008 and Apache and MySql is running on both.
I created a test application which I am running on my local machine.
http://localhost/example/
I want to test this example application on the server. How can I do this?
adding 192.168.1.11/example/(ip address of the server) gives me 404 - File or directory not found.
You would have to move those files over to the server instance. and make a change in your XAMPP configuration to allow the IP of your local machine to connect to the instance.
Do you have physical access to the server instance? (I.E. VM/SSH, In basement)
This question might be helpful if you are looking to allow an external IP.

Firefox and IE 7 are installed. I use MS Virtual PC for testing website in IE6 it works oon live site but I use XAMPP to render PHP files but h.ttp://localhost is not working Virtually running XP with IE6.
You have a XAMPP server running on your development machine, that you can access natively from http://localhost right?
The copy of Windows XP running inside Virtual PC is a completely separate machine. On this machine, localhost refers to the virtual machine, rather than your development machine.
You need to connect over the network to the development machine. If the IP address of your development machine is 123.123.123.123, you should be able to connect to it using http://123.123.123.123
Make sure that the IIS is on. If you're using Apache, make sure IIS is OFF.
I had this same problem - I personally gave up and used Wamp - which worked fine. Know it's not the most helpful answer...

just a thought - have you tried 127.0.0.1?
I ask since some XP updates caused the loopback address to stop working for a while. If you've just installed a fresh XP perhaps the updates that fixed that haven't been applied yet.
