localhost doesn't work - php

I'm trying to solve out my problem since more than a week, but with no results until now.
When I try to open localhost/phpmyadmin, or any php file, I get on this message:
Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage ".
The same happens with Mozilla; no errors, but the page keeps loading without answer.
My configuration
Windows 7 32bit
Wampserver 2.2D ( all services are running ) green status, server online
My hosts file
127.0.0.1 localhost
::1 localhost
IIS is stopped, but I don't think it's a problem with port 80.
I tried going directly to 127.0.0.1, it didn't work.
I will appreciate any advice.
Thanks

You may want to check your firewall authorizations...
I had same problem; I have since added wampserver as authorized program to my firewall and, as above, stopped IIS services in control panel/admistrative tools.

I had similar problem, a lot of research and analysis but nothing helped. Finally I came across UwAmp which works like a charm for me ever since then. Try it out:
http://www.uwamp.com/
It also supports multiple versions of PHP which you can switch by single click anytime you want.

Ok so if you have IIS on, stop it.
Go to cpanel and search administrative tools, component services, services (local), and scroll to the w's to find and stop:
World wide web publishing service
and
Web deployment agent service (something like that)
Good luck.

Cakephp and iOS 10.3.2

Since the new iOS update (10.3.2), we can't reach our website from an Apple device. Safari, Chrome or Firefox are returning a blank page or an error page saying there's a network problem.
We've tried from different places, different kind of iphones, on wifi or cell connection (3G,4G)
On mine it was working well, so I updated it to the 10.3.2 version, and I'm having the same error.
I tried contacting my web host but they told me they couldn't do anything. I tried to install Cakephp in a subdirectory, but even with a fresh install and an empty cakephp (2.9.8), it doesn't work.
I tried the same thing with a Cakephp 3 installation, and it works.
I tried installing Cakephp 2.9.8 on another web hosting (a personal one from the same web host) and .. it works.
So I'm getting a little confused as it seems to be an issue with :
iOS 10.3.2
Cakephp 2.9.2 to 2.9.8
my web hosting
Does anybody can give me any direction to look up ? I'm starting to be really depressed here ...
I found a temporary solution by changing my web hosting configuration.
My web host (OVH, French host) allows to use PHP-FPM (which is a PHP FastCGI implementation) to enhance the website performance.
When I disabled it yesterday, my website was available for iOS 10.3.2 users ! I don't know why, but for now I'm relieved.
I've just asked OVH if they have any idea why, but I'm not really optimistic about their reply ...

Cannot Get Laravel Welcome Page to Show

My server is on DigitalOcean cloud. I am using Ubuntu with Apache web server. My home computer is running Windows 7. I am using putty for terminal.
Followed all of the directions on https://laracasts.com/series/laravel-5-fundamentals/episodes/1. Made it up to 8:40, where it directs you to run php -S localhost:8888 -t public. I run that, then open a web browser and tried the following:
-http://mywebsite.com:8888
-http://www.mywebsite.com:8888
-http://mywebsite.com/learning-laravel-5/public
-http://mywebsite.com/learning-laravel-5/public/index.php
None of the above work.
In Google Chrome, the first two options where I list the port number, I get a page saying This webpage is not available. ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED. In IE, I just get a page with big font saying "This page can't be displayed."
For the last two options, I just get a completely blank page. In the console, I get this error: Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 500 (Internal Server Error).
I'm trying to pick up a web app framework to broaden my php skill set. Can someone help me out? What am I doing wrong/what is the video tutorial missing that I have to do in order to get Laravel up and running?
php -S localhost:8888 -t public is meant for running a site locally, which is what the video is showing.
If you are using a Digital Ocean droplet with Ubuntu and Apache, you will need to configure Apache to use /public as the document root and have Laravel installed in the /var/www directory.
From there you can visit the droplet's IP address (http://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX) instead of the domain name (unless you have configured the DNS for that domain name). You won't need the port in the URL either, since Apache will be serving it on the default port 80.
This probably is not the answer you want, but here's my advice based on setting up a few VPSs on Digital Ocean. Step back. Spin a new VPS. Keep your old one around, if you want, but start afresh.
Create a new droplet
Setup your SSH and PuTTY and make sure that works
Setup your FTP (if you're using it)
Setup your DNS
Setup your Apache config files. DO has a very good tutorial on this: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-linux-apache-mysql-php-lamp-stack-on-ubuntu-14-04
Now, work on getting your "Hello world" html page to show when you access your domain www.yourdomain.com, yourdomian.com. Don't fixate on ports at this point, just get a minimal server running. This might help too: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-apache-virtual-hosts-on-ubuntu-14-04-lts
Make an saved "image" of this basic working setup so you can spin a new VPS if you need to.
Now that you have a server that loads your domain index page, you can start to install your Laravel.
In a nutshell, I'd advise you to establish a stable working server platform before you try to install and launch a more complex technology like Laravel, or Rails, etc.
Tutorials often make complex technologies seem easy, the 10-minute expert, but there is tremendous complexity masked under the hood of these frameworks. Start simple and build on a server one piece at a time. You have to walk before you run.
I use Laravel often, but my experience with servers is more relevant here. Everything you've said indicates an access problem, and knowing how hosting companies work, they probably have that port blocked (along with all other non-standard ports).
You can test this using PuTTY, open it up and enter the host name of your server. Change the port to 80 and change close on window exit to never, then connect. Enter:
GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: yourwebsite.com
Then press enter twice and the server will process the result. It should show you the HTML of your home page.
Now try it again with port 8888 and see if you can even connect. If you can connect then it's not a port issue, but my guess is you'll get a fatal error Network error: Connection refused, which means the port is closed or blocked via firewall.
Even though DigitalOcean give you complete control over the server, the connection probably still runs through their firewall. It's possible that you have your own firewall, but otherwise if the server runs through their firewall and the port is blocked nothing you can do on the server will open that port.
did you try chmod -R 0777 storage ?

How to access PHP files using HTTP over peer-to-peer network?

I connected two PCs (say PC1 and PC2) using a patch cable (Category 5E) while both of them run on Windows 7. The IP addresses for PC1 and PC2 are 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.3, respectively. I've successfully configured a homegroup for the two computers and there was no problem in simple file sharings.
What I should know is that, having installed WAMPServer and stored some PHP files in PC1's root directory, how could I access them from PC2? I tried typing 'http://192.168.1.2/aphpfile.php' in the PC2's browser. And, I got no expected result. The browser simply said that it could not access the page. I'm not an expert in networking. Please help me.
PS: Please, don't close this question as a duplication. I searched related questions in this site but nothing was found helpful to me.
By default, WAMP assumes you're developing locally and will not answer requests made from outside the machine. You have to click "put online" from the WAMP menu. It will configure Apache to start listening for incoming connections from outside your machine.

Bizarre timeout in Web CMS, ideas?

I know this kind of thing cannot be adequately answered without a link to the live example. Unfortunately, I can't set one up right now as it's a back-end login and creating a safe public login would be too much to do at this point. Sorry. I'm hoping for ideas and input from people who may have experienced something similar in the past.
I am setting up a CMS for a client with a DSL connection in Spain.
The CMS is hosted on a straightforward standard, LAMP based, shared hosting package in a network center in Germany.
It comes with a .com domain.
When my client tries to log in to the CMS using Internet Explorer 7, everything works fine.
When she tries to log in using Firefox, she gets to the login form, submits it - and then the connection times out.
When she logs in using Firefox but using "domain.com" instead of "www.domain.com", everything works fine.
This happens on all computers that are hooked up to that line. One Windows XP, one Windows Vista.
The front-end part of the site, as well as a second, older CMS, work fine in all browsers.
I do not have access to the raw access logs.
I have not been able to reproduce this behaviour on any other connection.
Debugging ideas are welcome. Remote diagnosis is extremely difficult as the line is too slow to set up a proper remote connection.
If you are limited by how you can troubleshoot this, have the client install Fiddler - Web debugging proxy and then run the trace, and send you the logs, Fiddler will analyze the traffic (be it proxy or DNS timeout, etc)
Take a look if you have not used it before:
http://www.fiddler2.com/Fiddler2/version.asp
Check that Firefox and IE are using the same proxy settings.
DNS issues? can you put here your A records to check is everything is ok?
