    Trying to install Joomla (localhost related)
    « on: July 06, 2009, 05:38:44 PM »
    I'm trying to install Joomla to get my website up and running, but its giving me some trouble.

    First I installed wampserver so I could run Joomla on that, but when I am running wampserver (and it's fully connected) and I open any browser and try and go to my localhost it either times out or says it cannot display the webpage. This is occuring on both Firefox and IE.

    Can anyone help me? I'm lost on the whole Joomla installation, but once I've got it installed I'm confident that I'll be able to get into it.

    The step-by-step guide I'm using to install Joomla is below, and as you can see I didn't get too far before I ran into the localhost problem.

    Thanks so much for any help you can give me.

    (And no, I'm not running skype which I know runs on the same port as wampserver)
