Wampserver on Vista
Spent ages trying to get it to work and couldn't - it said it was running but just gave me a blank page on localhost and 127.0.0.1 . For the benefit of anyone else who is struggling with this, I found out that this is what you have to do:
Step 1 - find this file
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
Step 2 - open it
Step 3 - save it on the desktop (Vista won't let you save it even as admin)
Step 4 - find a line in the hosts file that says
::1 localhost
Step 5 Copy it to overwrite the original at C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
Voila'
