Hello, I am having a problem and wonder if someone could help.I am using Apache 2.2 installed on my laptop for site development purposes with PHP (on Windows Vista). Normally, in order to see my sites, I just open my web browser (either IE or Firefox), then type http://localhost in the address field, which takes me to my C:/Inetpup folder (where I keep my various site folders and PHP scripts).
However, since a few days back, when I type http://localhost, all I get (on both IE and Firefox) is an error message (Page not be found etc.).
The same thing happens if I try to access a specific site or site page directly (e.g. http://localhost/some site folder/index.php).
In my Apache documentation, I read somewhere that I could instead try http://127.0.0.1. And when I do so, it works fine (i.e. I get to my Inetpub folder and can see my web sites and their pages and work as normal). According to the same documentation, this would suggest that I "have serious DNS problems", but it does not say what I need to do to fix it. And I cannot find the answer anywhere on the Apache site either.
So, if anyone would anyone have any idea of what is wrong and what I need to do to fix this problem, I would be really grateful.
(Perhaps reinstall Apache? Wouldn't this mess up my PHP installation...?)
